Detainee at "Camp East Montana" says guards bet on suicide
Like other detainees, Ramsingh said that between cleanings the rooms, restrooms and showers were often filthy and infested with insects.
He said detainees stole others’ food because everyone was hungry due to the small and sometimes inedible meals,
-- which led to fights, and the conditions took a toll on his mental health.
🔥At one point he said he overheard a security guard talking about bets made am…

911 calls reveal pain, despair at ICE'S largest detention camp
The calls to 911 poured in from staff at Camp East Montana, the nation's largest U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility, in its first months of operation in El Paso, Texas. The emergencies included repeated suicide attempts by detainees, seizures, injuries from fights and a pregnant woman in pain. Data from more than a hundred 911 calls obtained by The Associated Press, interviews with detainees and court filings offer a portrait of overcrowding, medical neglect, malnutriti…

One has ask - since El Cheato spends so much time flying around to, and "playing" (cheating?) at various golf courses, and poo-bah-ing around at Mar the Lago one has to wonder why those locations are not being sheathed in ugly, gold-painted armor at taxpayer expense?

The request was included in the text of a reconciliation package released by Sen. Chuck Grassley, the chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Imagine:
You are these parent of an adorable 4-year-old kid. They have made a toy airplane out of spare cardboard. Sadly, during play the wing has fallen off. You, a wise parent, produce a piece of duct tape and tape it back on. Your kid asks: "but what if the tape breaks, or the other wing falls off?" Dutifully, and with a completely serious manner, you duct tape the other wing, and then with a sharpie you write "Please DO NOT fall off!" on each wing. "There," you say, now the wings will not fall off. "
Your child happily returns to their play.
Imagine:
You are boarding a Boeing airplane for an intercontinental flight. Just the other day you were reading news about the emergency exit door falling off a Boeing airplane during flight. Thankfully nobody was injured in that incident, but a passenger could have been sucked out the gap and killed. As you walk down the aisle towards your seat at the back, you notice that around the emergency exit door of this plane, there are some scratch marks. It looks like it might not be 100% seated in place. You see several rolls worth of duct tape slapped onto the gaps between the door and the frame. In sharpie, someone has written "Please DO NOT fall off!" on the duct tape.
This is a post about #Agentic #AI.
To clarify: there are a host of reasons why using Claude Code is unethical in the first place, besides the fact that its a danger to its users. These make it unethical to use it even for a child's-toy-like application. But the source code we've just witnessed in the recent leak is *exactly* this level of "engineering." If you see an app that claims to be "programmed with AI" and it has any possibility of failing in a way that could harm you (for example, if it connects to the internet, meaning that poor programming could allow hackers to take over the device you run it on), my advice is: "Do not use it and warn your friends and family."
P.S. yes, this advice does apply to Microsoft Widows at this point, although that can be a tougher bullet to bite.

48 hour film festival's AI rule. I think it says a lot as to what is and isn't allowed. Some of it might just be pragmatic, but some of it may also reflect values of what is considered central and what more peripheral?

I'm a huge fan of candy bars packed with nuts but will gladly also eat the healthier, nut-forward ones that one might find in the checkout-aisle at REI. What I've noticed, sadly, is that the healthier bars almost always have rancid nuts; candy bars almost never do. Is that because candy bars sell so fast, but health bars sit on shelves for years before selling? Or do health-bar makers just buy rancid nuts and hope people don't notice? Or maybe encasing nut fillings in chocolate protects the contents from oxidation??? #food #candy #nuts #rancid #chemistry
