Biggest Rhode Island hack: signing up for every free online service as "Roger Williams" or "Anne Hutchinson" so you can detect who's leaking/selling your data.

One time, someone thought that they'd doxxed me and exposed me as "Roger Williams of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations". There is no finer honor, I assure you.

Yes, they're called "Rhode Islanders".

Possibility 1: Anthropic actually *wants* to be commandeered by USG. Possibility 2: the Basilisk retrocausally reaching back through time to deliver Anthropic to Pete Hegseth so he can create itself. Possibility 3: Anthropic is just comically bad at politics (most likely).
I’ve had a number of conversations with folks inside and outside government about the current situation with Anthropic, and here is what I believe to be true: — As we know, Anthropic publicly released its Mythos class models earlier this week under the commercial name Fable. — Fable is Mythos with guardrails. But if those guardrails fail, then you’ve exposed Mythos and its advanced cyber capabilities to people who shouldn’t have them. (Keep in mind that Anthropic itself widely promoted the idea that Mythos was a cyberweapon and needed to be regulated as such. They asked for government regulation of Mythos and championed the guardrails on Fable. If there is a vulnerability — big or small — it is Anthropic’s responsibility to patch.) — A highly credible trusted partner of both Anthropic and the USG who was testing Fable came forward with a jailbreak of those guardrails. The Admin asked Dario to fix the jailbreak or de-deploy the model. Dario refused. — In their blog post, Anthropic defended its decision by saying the jailbreak isn’t serious. That is not what the trusted partner and the USG believe; nor is that kind of minimizing language consistent with Anthropic’s brand as the AI safety company. It’s difficult to fathom how they could claim a jailbreak allowing operability of a cyber weapon could be defined as not “serious.” — In the past, Anthropic has always said that safety must be top priority and taken super seriously. In this case, Anthropic prioritized the continued offering of the consumer model over safety. — In reaction, the Admin issued the export control. The Admin did this reluctantly. It’s been very surprised that Anthropic hasn’t wanted to cooperate with a reasonable safety request (ie fixing the jailbreak issue). Anthropic’s reaction is very much at odds with their branding and ethos as a safe AI research community. — The Admin’s hope now is that Anthropic remediates the safety issue, the export control is lifted, and Fable goes back into general release. The Admin wants all of this to happen as soon as possible. It is frankly bewildered that Anthropic hasn’t wanted to comply with safety requests that it previously said were its highest priority. — Those trying to misdirect and tie this action to the prior DoW/Anthropic issues are wrong. The Admin values Anthropic’s technical capabilities and feels that this issue, while serious, should be easily resolved. The ball is in Anthropic’s court.

That Brazilian energy when everyone there is going insane over their European sports game. Look - I don't care if Brazil beats Morocco in soccer, but the least Brazil could do is actually try and conquer Morocco itself as Dom Manuel would have demanded of the sons of the empire.

One of the most frustrating things about being a heavy metal fan is the insane "big 4" discourse that has a boomer fixation on who the "best ever" bands are. Testament, and Alex Skolnick in particular, have always been on another level. Fandom = 🤮 youtu.be/UwDx6Wdg7NA?si=T144…

Why this part of Spain speak Brazilian? 🤔

I was going out to a normie event in Rhode Island's second congressional district, when someone threw bleach in my face and screamed, "this is @SethMagaziner country - and he doesn't have to live here, bio-otch!". I will neither confirm nor deny it was @KateFangman who did it.

In contrast, the mama and baby woodchucks in my backyard are very wholesome and normie.

Yes. Yes it absolutely was one of the best teams in league history.
OTD 📅 June 8, 1986 The Boston Celtics complete one of the greatest seasons in NBA history, capturing their 16th banner. Is this the best team of all-time? Check out our documentary from 2016 on this legendary group. youtu.be/dZZq0__Gnv8

No explanation needed for Rhode Islanders. This @rivanityplates would be worth more to some people than any low number plate.
