Used to be fiscal conservative, social liberal. Now I'm just #voteblue #resist

Also a Ryan Reynolds/Deadpool fan. I even forgive him for Green Lantern.

These examples of police exercising "qualified immunity" to assault peaceful protestors is the best reason for getting rid of qualified immunity.

To simplify following the criminal justice news of the last 36 hours, I posted a set of 10 links to police brutality videos on Facebook

Can't do that here, obvs

So I'm putting them into a thread

@jacksonhinkle Do you believe a Free Palestine exists? It either does or it doesn't. If it does, then what are you complaining about - they're free.
If it doesn't, then he's right.

Accidentally re-inventing “thinking” from first principles

[Jim @Dangerclose001]

@SprinterPress Even more powerful if you did a side by side comparison to Iranian losses and Israel losses. (Has Iran done any damage to Israel military? A plane? A helicopter?)

[Jim @Dangerclose001]

@masuzafi Don't see a lot of dodging. It didn't appear that any of the bright lights headed TOWARDS the ground actually made it to the ground...

NEW: malware developers added nuclear & biological weapons text to to their spyware.

Goal? To trigger LLM safety refusals... so that their spyware wouldn't be analyzed by an AI security scanner.

Cleanest practical example I can think of for why over-indexing on first order safety alignment is risky.

When closed (and open) models ship with aggressive refusals, they will be sprinkled with second-order blindspots that attackers will discover...and exploit.

We are only in the earliest days of attackers leveraging these features, and it wouldn't surprise me if users systems that need to handle complex cybersecurity issues demand that models be less safety-blunted.

In the weeds: @SocketSecurity's post also shows why intention matters in how you design a malware analysis pipeline to avoid prompt manipulation.

The real issue is that I'm irrational and uninformed!

The low price is the answer: very few people want to abandon all of their friends and family to go live in a place with no jobs, that is 1.5 hours away from even a mid-sized airport, and has no major cultural or natural amenities.

@ianpayn @jan_murray I put no more effort into my message than you have into yours. It just happens to be closer to my heart.

[Jim @Dangerclose001]

@MasterUFOKiwi @x26457474 @Gigi_chienergy I didn't say illegal, I said unsuccessful.

Iran is still bombing other countries at will and the Strairs of Hormuz are still closed to tankers that don't pay Iran a toll.

If it was *succesfully* "over" then neither would still be happening. It's "over" because Trump gave up.

[Jim @Dangerclose001]

@scrowder We have different definitions of "receipts". You have pieces of paper written in crayon and Sharpie that NO court found credible.

Are there just no competent lawyers in Republican party or is every judge (including the ones appointed BY Trump) in on it?

Win a case, then talk

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

@JoeyMannarino How about you going fuck yourself Joey. Say that to my face if you ever see me in person you weak ass lightweight.

[Mike Young @micyoung75]

The plaintiff argued Oliver "feigned outrage for ratings." The outrage was about a licensed physician testifying under oath that leaving a patient with cerebral palsy in his own waste for days was acceptable because "people are allowed to be dirty."

Oliver's team pulled the full transcript to verify the quote was not taken out of context. It wasn't. The judge found the patient's dignity was the same regardless of the technical distinction the plaintiff raised.

The lawsuit was designed to make the segment cost more than it was worth to defend. It didn't work. It never has. Oliver's record is perfect.

Unless you riot for Trump, in which case you’ll be pardoned and given slush fund money stolen from U.S. tax payers.

God I wish I was dumb. Imagine thinking things like this. Your life would be so stress free.

@lisa_4_la @JillFilipovic Still sounds like "friend" should have been in quotes. I'm in several group chats with friends and none of them feel the need to remind me of their basic demographic info.
