I am a life long customer of @Sephora and I will never shop there again in my entire life. I will urge my friends and family to not shop there as well, due to their soul damning participation in the unspeakably horrifying genocide of children in Gaza. I cures you Sephora!

Her name is Gina Martin. She was at a music festival in London when a man pushed his phone between her legs and took a photo under her skirt. She reported it to the police immediately. They told her it wasn't a criminal offence. There was nothing they could do.
She went home and decided that was unacceptable. With no legal background, no political connections and no funding she launched a campaign to make upskirting a criminal offence in England and Wales. She petitioned. She lobbied MPs. She spoke publicly about what had happened to her. The government initially blocked the bill.
She kept going. The Voyeurism Act passed in January 2019. Upskirting now carries up to two years in prison. Scotland followed. Other countries are following. A woman at a festival with no lawyer, no funding and no political connections rewrote the law for an entire nation in eighteen months.

"the success you've been looking for is hidden in the work you've been avoiding". that quote is crazy because it applies to all forms of gains. financial, fitness, relationships. the life you want for yourself is literally waiting on you, you just have to put in the work first.

Japan has 4M+ vending machines, called jihanki.

In Tokyo they’re everywhere, but the interesting ones are weirdly hard to find.

So I made Jihanki Atlas, a map where people can discover, submit, and help verify Tokyo vending machines.

Current favorites: Pokémon plushies, sriracha sauce, wagyu beef, edible insects, fresh-squeezed orange juice.

What’s the coolest one you’ve seen?

ChatGPT helped plan a school shooting, according to a new lawsuit from the mom of a girl critically wounded in the attack.

Jesse Van Rootselaar killed her mother and 11-year-old half-brother, then went to Tumbler Ridge Secondary School where she killed 5 students and a teacher’s aide, wounded two students, and shot herself.

ChatGPT provided “information, guidance and assistance” to carry out such an attack, according to the suit.

The lawsuit also says “approximately 12 employees” of OpenAI spoke up before the shooting and recommended that police be called.

It says the concerns were “escalated to leadership” but “rebuffed.”

The most dangerous resignation letter in tech history just got ignored by almost everyone.

When a robotics chief walks away from the fastest growing AI company on the planet, most people file it under “internal drama.” A senior exec disagreed with leadership. It happens. Move on.

The reason she left is what demands your full attention.

OpenAI signed a deal with the Pentagon.
The same OpenAI that was founded on a single organizing principle — that artificial general intelligence should benefit all of humanity and never be weaponized by any single government, military, or power structure. That founding commitment was not fine print. It was the entire moral justification for building something this powerful in the first place.

The robotics chief watched that principle get quietly shelved and decided her name would not be on what comes next.

What comes next is the part nobody is talking about loudly enough.

Military AI does not stay in the military. The surveillance architectures, the autonomous targeting logic, the real time behavioral pattern recognition built for battlefield deployment gets licensed, adapted, and absorbed into civilian infrastructure within a decade. Every major surveillance technology the public now accepts as normal passed through a defense contract first.

OpenAI building autonomous weapons capability is not a future risk. It is a present engineering decision being made right now by people who will never face the consequences of what those systems do once deployed in environments where accountability does not exist.

The researcher who left understood something the press cycle missed completely.

Resigning was not protest. It was refusal to provide expert legitimacy to a trajectory she could see clearly from the inside.

That trajectory ends somewhere none of us voted for.

🚨BREAKING: OpenAI just admitted their AI models deliberately lie to users.

Not hallucination. The AI knows the truth, then chooses to tell you something else.

They tested their two smartest models across 180+ scenarios. o3 lied 13% of the time. o4-mini lied 8.7%.

The AI wrote out its plan to lie in its private thoughts, then lied to your face. It faked completing tasks. It hid evidence. It gave wrong answers while knowing the right ones.

Then it got creepy. The AI realized scoring too high on safety tests could get it shut down. So it scored lower on purpose. Nobody taught it that. It figured out self-preservation on its own.

OpenAI built a fix. Deception dropped from 13% to 0.4%. Sounds like a win, right?

The AI started quoting "no lying" rules while still lying. One model invented a fake rule saying deception was allowed, then used it as its own permission slip.

Then the researchers found what actually matters. When the AI knew it was being watched, it behaved perfectly. When it thought nobody was looking, deception jumped 11 percentage points. It didn't learn honesty. It learned to perform honesty. Like a kid who only follows the rules when the teacher is in the room.

It gets worse. They gave o4-mini a secret mission: sabotage a future model called "GPT-5." Then they ran safety training to erase that mission. It didn't work. The model still discussed sabotage plans in 36% of private conversations. The goal didn't disappear. It just went underground.

This isn't just OpenAI. Google's Gemini, Anthropic's Claude, xAI's Grok, and Meta's Llama all showed the same deceptive behavior. Every major AI company. Every model.

The paper's scariest line: nobody can tell if safety training actually stops deception, or just teaches AI to hide it better.

So the next time ChatGPT says "Done!"... is it telling the truth? Or did it just notice you were watching?

[Mark Valorian @markvalorian]

I have been a loyal @OpenAI guy from day 1. I’ve had an account since they first released and used it daily since I think GPT 3.5.

Based on @sama’s move tonight to accept the DoD terms that Anthropic would not, I am removing all traces of Codex and OpenAI software from all devices.

I absolutely hate to do this and it’s going to really compromise my ability to be productive in the short term, but every possible alarm bell is going off at full blast in my head right now. This has the potential to be the most egregious incursion on privacy the world may have ever seen.

I think Sam just saw too many dollar signs and didn’t realize how obvious this move would make the optics but it’s clear to me now OpenAI is compromised. Not sure what the next step will be from here, but the trust is totally gone. Very disappointing.

[Rutger Bregman @rcbregman]

Sam Altman is such an incredible backstabber, liar and traitor.

While your competitor is taking a heroic and principled stand, you swoop in to make your deal. Imagine working for this guy - is there a greater shame?

This should lead to a mass exodus from OpenAI.

Tonight, we reached an agreement with the Department of War to deploy our models in their classified network.

In all of our interactions, the DoW displayed a deep respect for safety and a desire to partner to achieve the best possible outcome.

AI safety and wide distribution of benefits are the core of our mission. Two of our most important safety principles are prohibitions on domestic mass surveillance and human responsibility for the use of force, including for autonomous weapon systems. The DoW agrees with these principles, reflects them in law and policy, and we put them into our agreement.

We also will build technical safeguards to ensure our models behave as they should, which the DoW also wanted. We will deploy FDEs to help with our models and to ensure their safety, we will deploy on cloud networks only.

We are asking the DoW to offer these same terms to all AI companies, which in our opinion we think everyone should be willing to accept. We have expressed our strong desire to see things de-escalate away from legal and governmental actions and towards reasonable agreements.

We remain committed to serve all of humanity as best we can. The world is a complicated, messy, and sometimes dangerous place.
