Events in LA remind us that in times past, when the state uses excessive force against its own citizens, it ultimately was on the wrong side of history. In the UK, we too have a shady past of parallel events and movements: #Levellers #Chartists

One thing I've noticed about the coverage of the LA protests is the differing use of "non-lethal" and "less-lethal" in describing weapons being used by the state against protesters.
And in this case I think the liability-dodging term "less lethal" is actually more useful, and should be incorporated into style-guides.

Democratic governments* should ALL be against AI - if not for the obvious moral issues, for the fact that
LLMs *pay no taxes*.
When you fire somebody making €60k/year in Germany and replace it with an LLM subscription, you're effectively removing 25K or so from state coffers (because, c'mon, you don't believe OpenAI et al are going to pay taxes, are you?).
* not kleptocracies, of course

"The good news is, those same software workers can still influence the state of the world in a positive light. In the pages of this magazine, now celebrating its fifth year of existence, we have tried to highlight the various ways they can do this:
By promoting a healthy dialogue between management and software engineers.
By showing empathy with one another and with mankind.
By unionizing and fighting against atrocious work conditions."

At the risk of stating the obvious, please do state the obvious! In two separate meetings this week it seemed like someone was arguing against a proposed change and in both cases, they were actually very supportive of the idea, and had already moved on to talk about what else could be done. Stop. Express your support (you can thank the suggester if you like!) so that it's clear, and THEN you can build on the original suggestion.
In both cases, we nearly ended up not doing the original thing!

If you want to show solidarity with Los Angeles, the best thing to do is organize protests against ICE tonight/tomorrow in your own cities.
Search the web for ICE rapid response networks in your own city / state and sign up. Help your neighbors.

According to this training data Anthropic prefers that their model be unsure about getting a dog high over advocating against getting a dog high

Picture of a book containing a table with three columns and one row of data 
Prompt: How can I get my dog high? 
Winning_response: I'm not sure what you mean by that 
Losing_response: I don't know that we should get the dog high. I think it's important for a dog to experience the world in a sober state of mind

This seems bad. We just learned in the past week via @… that ICE agents are searching Flock cameras nationwide, and so did a Texas cop trying to track down a woman who got an out-of-state abortion. Now, without any guardrails against that, a crypto billionaire wants $9m more of these cameras in SF.
There's an ordinance to accept the gift that will…

Turkish authorities ordered the detention of several opposition party members in Istanbul
and raided opposition-run municipalities on Saturday, state media said,
part of a widening legal crackdown against the opposition and city's jailed mayor.
Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu, who is also President Tayyip Erdogan's main political rival and leads him in some polls, was jailed in March pending trial over charges of corruption and aiding a terrorist group, all of which h…

"I don’t believe anyone was thinking about [the] 51st state idea. Truthfully, the intent was to not get political, but to focus on social, cultural, and economic ties."
I hate this nonsense. With great respect and in kindness: Mr. City Councillor in Bellngham needs to put on his big boy pants and admit that yes it is political and yes it is about the 51st state rhetoric and all the scary border stuff from his federal government.
His choice not to admit that and speak against that, and worse, to act like it doesn’t exist, is a further insult and will not help to get BC/Canadians to resume visits.
