OpenAI has deleted the word ‘safely’ from its mission – and its new structure is a test for whether AI serves society or shareholders
OpenAI’s restructuring may serve as a test case for how society oversees the work of organizations with the potential to both provide benefits and harm humanity.

In case you had any illusions that Zuckerberg and his Facebook/Meta/Instagram/Threads/WhatsApp empire wasn’t evil, this should take care of it.
“The New York Times reported that Meta is considering adding face recognition technology to its smart glasses. According to an internal Meta document, the company may launch the product “during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns.””

Non, Francesca Albanese n’a pas désigné Israël comme ennemi commun de l’humanité.
Alors que le ministère français des Affaires étrangères demande la démission de la rapporteure spéciale de l’ONU, nous dénonçons une atteinte à l’indépendance de son mandat.
Le 11 février, le ministre français
Jean-Noël Barrot a appelé Francesca Albanese à démissionner de son poste de représentante spéciale des Nations unies dans les territoires palestiniens occupés.
Il l’accuse d'avoir déclaré qu'"Israël est un ennemi de l'humanité".
C’est faux.
I wish CSS had native pan & zoom support. Basically, what maps, infinite canvases, etc. do — an ability for some container to be independently, infinitely (or with some constraints) zoomed and panned/scrolled around.
Elements inside could listen to the zoom level and transform, simplifying forms when zooming out or getting more details when zooming in.
Since github sucks and I want it to play a smaller and less important role in my life and the world, I have cancelled my github sponsorship of hachyderm. Now I'm contributing through opencollective, instead.
Just food for thought

Hm, potential 45-base RNA quine discovered.
The conditions are _somewhat_ contrived but only somewhat.
I can be angry about rising fascism and also angry about facial recognition built into surveillance glasses at the same time, not only because these things are directly related, but because I contain fucking multitudes and all them are mad all the goddamn time.
What's going on here? The matplotlib maintainer this story is about correctly notes that all the quotes from his post in the article are made up.

Remember Elon Musk's hyperloop project? Washingtonian's Matt Ribel breaks down where it all went wrong (spoiler: it was doomed from the start because no one had a clue what they were doing).
With #HolosDiscover we checked multiple criteria before indexing: "indexable" enabled, account not locked, no #nobot or #noindex in bio, not in opted-out list, only public posts. Every deletion, edit or block was processed instantly via #ActivityPub.
Google uses that same "indexable" flag but ignores everything else, keeps deleted content cached for weeks.
We shut it down after pushback. Was that the right call? Don't hesitate to share, this concerns the whole Fediverse.
Being able to write code and being able to keep writing code are two very different beasts to wrangle with.
Just your friendly reminder that nonbinary bisexuals exist, and that we're still enbies no matter how we're dressed, and still bi no matter who we are or aren't dating.

Meta thinks now is a great time to launch facial recognition surveillance tech in their creepy glasses because EFF will be too distracted by fascism to notice.
We noticed.
