PSA: My surname rhymes with "holy". Apparently "foully" is simply a mispronounciation, though I hear it 100x more often. I blame Ozzy Osbourne, who got this wrong; Aleister also pronounced it to rhyme with "holy". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crowley_(…
When you refuse to prosecute violence against your political enemies, that violence starts to look a lot more like a formal part of the system. Violence is not an extreme form of speech. It is the antithesis of what speech is for. Manhattan DA Declines to Prosecute NYC Woman…

Copying over LW comments from @So8res that strike me as useful / relevant in a broader context:

Absolutely incredible that this evergreen meme on Trump's troubles was posted seven days before even the Access Hollywood tape dropped.
If San Francisco can update the code of a website in less than 4 hours so people don’t have access to parking ticket data anymore, I know that we can do more important things quickly too, but inexplicably choose not to.

Did you know that when they say stuff like "The A18 uses TSMC's 3nm process" or "announced the 2nm node" The 3nm, 2nm actually doesn't mean anything?! It's just like a version number. They make it up. Literally nothing measures 2nm or 3nm. I certainly didn't know.

No more information available that I can find right now, but this seems like a pretty interesting example of an LLM considering deception in the course not of an eval but of a real, natural task.

Yes, we have plenty of disagreements about the chance that the complex plans succeed. But it seems we all agree that the status quo is insane. Don't forget to say that part too.
It's weird when someone says "this tech I'm making has a 25% chance of killing everyone" and doesn't add "the world would be better-off if everyone, including me, was stopped."
