This institute, cofounded by Musk, circulated an email about me not just internally but to their "partners" a couple of years ago when I started calling them out as eugenicists in the TESCREAL bundle, as we wrote in our paper.
They didn't name me but it was clear they were talking about me, hence the reason someone forwarded me the email.
"Pressed on whether marketing an addictive AI chatbot to kids is ethical, Hardin shrugged: “I mean sure, but that’s not really our problem. That’s something parents or maybe lawmakers might want to look into.”
"AI safety" brought to you by the likes of The Future of Life Institute who are now armed with $700m+ thanks to crypto billionaires.
Other messaging includes insults like “stupid, smelly, squishy,” alongside the ominous statement: “It’s time for a human solution.”
KRON4 contacted Replacement AI and spoke with someone claiming to be the startup’s “humble unpaid intern,” Chase Hardin.
Coincidentally, Hardin shares a name with the communications director for the Future of Life Institute, a nonprofit focused on AI safety."

I finished a five-year project yesterday. Not collective farming, but CNC work for an abstract sculptor. We finished about 35 pieces over that period, including enough really successful pieces that he decided he had enough for a gallery show in NY. So the show is next month, and I get a long break.
One piece from this project was exhibited publicly last summer:

Be very mindful about the content you consume online.
You might think you are above its negative influence on your mood and thoughts, but you aren't. Nobody is.
The content you consume influences the way you think over time. Even if you are on a platform to fight the opposition, what the algorithm is feeding you there will have an influence on yourself over time.
Be careful what you feed to your brain.

As a neuroscientist, I approve this message!
Also, things we do just before going to sleep seem to be the things that will be most consolidated in your memory, so we should be particularly mindful of what we "feed our brains" at that time!

先日の北海道で、もっづ氏に渡す予定のシノゴテストしたんだが、グランドガラスのばねが少し甘くて、場合によっては引き札を引く際にホルダーが浮いてしまう恐れがあったので、少しだけテンション調整をした。えらい。

FYI, looks like an zero-day exploit just dropped that allows unauthenticated extraction of secrets from the memory of any MongoDB version going back 10 years, over the internet, automated exploit included: https://github.com/joe-desimone/mongobleed
Going to have mixed feelings about this one, but I feel obliged to point out:
Edit: Apparently not a zero-day, seems to have been reported a couple days ago already (but still very likely unpatched in most places for now)
오 그러고 보니까 블스에서 멘세닉 해시태그를 검색해봤는데 없네 지금 하면 내가 최초?

How AI startup acquisitions work in 2025
Hey Mastodon I ned some help.
An increasing number if people in my life are becoming #conspiracytheory nutjobs and I don't know what to do.
At first it was just one or two peripheral friends so I could just stop talking with them or ignore the crazy stuff they said, but now its closer friends and family.
Does anyone have any good resources or tips on how to handle this?
I know a fair bit about the theories as I have been interested in them for a long time, but it has been from a debunking POV since nothing ever seems solid enough to warrant any belief.
This knowledge doesn't seem to be relevant though since "you can't reason someone out of an oppinion they didn't reason themselves into".
I would appreciate any and all input on deprogramming techniques, support groups etc.
Feel free to boost for visibility.
Thanks in advance 😚
