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. #SaveSudan #ActNow #UNSC

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.

Andrew Ridgeley bringing George Michael's ex on a skiing holiday when he KNEW George was going to be there was a real dick move. But what was the ex thinking giving Ridgeley the brooch that George gave her the year before? It's dark this video.

It took a while, but we finally developed the technology to remove both students and professors from the university system, leaving only the part that's really important: administration.
Look, if everyone is worried about students cheating on essays for AI, instructors can just cheat right back. I asked OpenAI to give me an essay question & make a rubric for grading. I had GPT-3 actually write the essay. I then had the OpenAI grade the essay & give comments. ✅

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

1/10 Being in prison drops you to the bottom of the Maslow pyramid. You know, the one from the textbooks, where on the first level you want to survive and eat, and on the higher levels you want to go to the theater or become a rock star, or a monk.

This is what I want to hear.
We are launching a new €150,000 pilot scheme to provide hot meals 🍝 to children in #earlylearning and #childcare settings in areas of concentrated disadvantage. 🎒 Ensuring children can access nutritious meals & snacks is so important for their health, learning & development.

Message to the @England football team at the #WorldCup for the game v Islamic Republic of Iran 🇮🇷 on Monday. We think it would be amazing if you did this. It would mean more than you could ever imagine.

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. #DropTheCharges Follow @FrHumanitarians

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.”
