Sigh, the fear-mongering from OpenAI and Anthropic won't stop. It's almost a marketing gimmick now

Meanwhile....

Kimi K3 - a frontier model that is comparable to Opus 5 and Sol 6 has been available on the internet for 24 hours

SURPRISE - it's not killed or harmed a single person yet! No major system hacked either

The US companies claimed that their version of Kimi K3 was capable of hacking into every system on the planet 🙃

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

More than 252 Venezuelans expelled to El Salvador under Trump’s mass deportation policy suffered systematic and prolonged torture and abuse, including sexual assault, during their detention, according to a Human Rights Watch report published on Wednesday. https://t.co/fx5C8dmMkC

250 years ago, on April 19, 1775, a shot was heard around the world.

I recorded this video during the stillness of winter. I hope it provides you with a chance to reflect on this date. Watch with sound.

At Lexington and Concord, ordinary farmers, blacksmiths, and shopkeepers stood shoulder to shoulder—answering the call.

In the early morning light at Lexington, 77 patriots faced down nearly 700 British Regulars. No one knows who fired the first shot, but 8 colonists fell.

At Concord’s North Bridge, Minutemen and Militias gathered in the hundreds, ultimately holding off the British and forcing them to return to Boston.

The American Revolution has begun. Many of the men at Lexington and Concord would become part of the Continental Army.

It wasn’t just the start of a war. It was the birth of liberty.

The reenactment of the ride of Paul Revere commenced last night, on the anniversary of the midnight ride 250 years ago on April 18, 1775, to alert American colonial militia to the approach of British forces before the battles of Lexington and Concord.

We are sending people to the Salvadoran gulag for nothing at all.

@DouglasKMurray @nytimes The Unherd interview was excellent. I look forward to reading this book.

BREAKING: A government memo that @CBSNews obtained shows that the Trump Administration allowed DHS to send "non-criminal detainees" to Guantanamo Bay, even though they claimed to the public that the naval base would only be used to hold "the worst of the worst criminals."

This is why Due Process matters! Trump is not doing what he says he is doing. He's taking things way too far.

I can say as an "extremist" & "enemy of the state" myself in Russia, they always double down. It's already been made clear he was wrongfully deported and they were told so by a unanimous Supreme Court decision. They'll say similar about anyone they wish to dispose of.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

[Ronan Farrow @RonanFarrow]

JD Vance holds a JD from Yale Law (and so do I). Presumably, he knows that he is disregarding the law here, and being deceptive about the protections it affords.

Non-citizens physically present in the United States, regardless of their immigration status, are entitled to due process protections under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. It is not relevant whether Kilmar Abrego Garcia is sympathetic, or how much you believe an (apparently shaky) claim from an informant that he had gang connections. The disposition of this case, based on a judge’s review of the facts, was to grant Abrego Garcia protected legal status, preventing his deportation. Abrego Garcia‘s due process rights, under the law, required the government to go back to immigration court and make the case, if they wanted to terminate that protected status. There is no good faith legal reading in which his right to due process was respected; indeed, the government has conceded that it erred, and is essentially arguing that it doesn’t matter enough to address it. This is because they assume people will not care. But everyone in the United States should care—we all depend on these basic legal rights being predictably upheld.

“Everybody in math and physics uses it.”

Nearly 35 years ago, Paul Ginsparg created arXiv, a digital repository for sharing research. It changed science for good.

Three decades in, Ginsparg reflects on its legacy—and its future.

I am not a believer in job openings as the ultimate indicator of labor market tightness, but the Fed is. Like many things now it is probably wise to look at both levels & rates of change. Level says strong labor market, change says rapidly cooling, lags in policy coming thru
