🤖 OpenAI Reaches A.I. Agreement With Defense Dept. After Anthropic Clash

NY Times

“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,” Mr. Altman said. “The DoW agrees with these principles, reflects them in law and policy, and we put them into our agreement.”

From one liar to another—so you know it has to be true. They somehow have the same principles as Anthropic, but magically came to an agreement despite those principles being the only thing killing the Anthropic agreement. More likely, OpenAI has been chomping at the bit to get at

🏳️‍⚧️ Kansas informs trans residents their driver’s licenses become invalid on Thursday

Kansas City

SB 244, which Republican supermajorities in the Kansas Legislature voted last week to enact into law over Gov. Laura Kelly’s veto, will go into effect on Thursday upon the publication of the Kansas Register. The legislation provides no funding to help people who need to replace their licenses. Kansas driver’s licenses typically cost around $30.

This is incredibly fucked up—it’s also why we need to pay more attention to local elections. The people of Kansas voted overwhelmingly against an abortion ban and I have to think (hope) those same people wouldn’t want their

🏒 U.S. Men’s hockey team honored at State of the Union, Trump says women’s team coming to White House

The Athletic

Imagine going from winning a gold medal to having to listen to this imbecile ramble like an incoherent madman do 2+ hours. Even if most of these guys are Trump supporters, I guarantee you none of them were planning on watching the SotU.

🧑‍⚖️ Top Minnesota prosecutor says ICE cases are sidelining ‘pressing priorities’

Politico

Actual criminals are absolutely loving what’s happening right now. ICE isn’t going after the (extremely small population of) undocumented immigrants that are in gangs because those people would actually fight back and have criminal attorneys on retainer and the idiot goons of ICE want nothing to do with that. Instead they go after people with disabilities, children, and people at court houses “doing it the right way” so they can hit their outrageous quotas. Not only that, local police and prosecutors are now jammed up with all of this nonsense and dedicating less time to going after

🏛️ The testimony of Aliya Rahman

It’s absolutely devastating to watch this. I’d love to echo the sentiment I’ve seen on social media and say, “how could anyone watch this and not be devastated?” But I’ve become too jaded. The people doing and celebrating this terrible shit are the people who tortured their pets like Sid from Toy Story as kids. This is exactly what the “anti-woke” folks want—they want to be able to laugh at people with disabilities after they illegally arrest them without reading them their rights or giving them their phone call.
