Sudan is bleeding. Hell is happening before our eyes. Children are starving, women face unspeakable violence, and entire communities are being erased.
@UN Security Council:
🚨 Break the telecoms blackout.
🚨 Deploy peacekeepers.
🚨 Protect civilians.
The world is watching. History will remember your action—or your silence.

Everyone seems to be really excited to talk about regulating the danger from AI. Want an effective way to make AI a whole lot less dangerous? Stop governments from passing laws that will require AI to listen to all private conversations.

Bing subreddit has quite a few examples of new Bing chat going out of control.
Open ended chat in search might prove to be a bad idea at this time!
Captured here as a reminder that there was a time when a major search engine showed this in its results.

Paying a visit today to New York’s Irish Hunger Memorial, built to evoke memories of a famine-ravaged deserted Irish village. It’s a very effective memorial to that dreadful cataclysm.

So much of security's responsibility can be significantly reduced if you embrace anti-fragility in your platform.
Avoiding updates because something might break only makes it harder to update when you no longer have a choice.
We give updating about 10 minutes attention per week

It is a year since Seán Binder and Nassos Karakitsos faced a Greek judge on charges related to humanitarian work in Lesbos.
Their co-accused, Sarah Mardini, was not even allowed into the country.
They go back on trial in January.

Next email from Elon Musk to engineers: “please be prepared to do brief code reviews as I’m walking around the office. The code should be cut into long straight lines, not too thick, but not too skimpy either.”
