*how minimal the external observable effects were for so many of them Impossible to know whether and how their lived internal experience changed
Which is weirder. How many people underwent lobotomies? Or how minimal the effects were for so many of them?
NEW: As Colorado’s Tina Peters reportedly meets with President Trump to discuss an election “plan,” her attorney says the plan involves seizing ballots nationwide and discusses strategy for a potential civil war
Everyone told @jaredpolis that Peters was an unrepentant enemy of US electoral democracy who belonged behind bars. In typically vainglorious post-partisan fashion, Polis felt he knew better.
🚨BREAKING: GOP lawyer Cleta Mitchell and convicted election denier Tina Peters are pushing a scheme to have Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick seize voting machines, as part of a broader effort for the Trump administration to interfere with the midterms. democracydocket.com/news-alerts/el…
Interestingly, this is similar to why people have traditionally rejected animal consciousness
Why do people think AI is conscious or sentient or whatever? It's because it talks to you. That's the whole reason. No one seems to think the Waymo or Tesla FSD is conscious even though it's just as complex (if not more) and even a remarkably similar architecture
This take is either deliberately or naively confusing the reasons why philosophers disagree about the nature of consciousness
Hard to take seriously the philosophers who deny personhood to unborn babies but apply it to AIs.
She is "receiving lifesaving medical care" to make sure she survives so that they can try to kill her again later? This is a level of mania, incoherence, and incompetence that only the government could possibly deliver. If they are incapable of doing a proper execution then they should just stop.
Breaking news: Christa Pike is alive, in critical condition “and receiving lifesaving medical care,” her attorneys said, after Tennessee officials tried and failed to execute her by lethal injection the previous night. wapo.st/4y2Xz2J

This is a misunderstanding of Bloom’s Taxonomy. Knowledge is foundational to everything else.
It's difficult to overestimate how damaging this view of teaching and learning has been for so many kids. Virtually every teacher trained over the last 50 years was taught that knowing stuff is the least important part of thinking. This image taken from Utica University's
Hey just checking in did this ever happen???

🚨INCREDIBLE: During a multi-vehicle collision on the Route 90 bridge in Ocean City, Maryland, a 2-year-old girl was ejected from a pickup truck, falling nearly 30 feet into the Assawoman Bay below. Jonathan Bauer, who was driving across the bridge with his teenage daughter when the crash occurred, rushed over to inspect the wreckage. Looking down into the water, he saw the toddler floating face down and becoming unresponsive. Without hesitation, Bauer instructed his daughter to flag down first responders, removed his shoes, and leapt off the bridge into the bay. He swam to the little girl, lifted her onto his shoulder, and patted her back until she coughed up water and began breathing again. A passing pontoon boat quickly navigated toward them, pulling both Bauer and the toddler out of the water and transporting them to shore, where emergency personnel were waiting. The child was airlifted to a regional medical center for evaluation and released the following day in good condition. Bauer was later honored by local law enforcement and civic leaders for his decisive actions and selflessness.
This is a horrific story that is currently effecting the EOD community. A 30 year Navy EOD veteran killed his family, and then took his own life. The part that I can’t get around is that his wife took him for a VA mental health evaluation the day before it happened. According to the story below, they were turned away without help. The tragedy occurred the next day. Please check in on your friends. fox5sandiego.com/news/san-carlo…

The Iran war has cost Americans an estimated $100 billion on gasoline and diesel alone, per an estimate from Brown University cnn.com/2026/09/08/eco…
Last time Iran captured an advanced American autonomous system it propelled them to create the Shaheds.
Iran’s IRGC has claimed to have captured a U.S. autonomous undersea vehicle (AUV) today in the Strait of Hormuz. Notably, the system appears to be an Anduril Dive-LD, which has been delivered to the Unmanned Undersea Vehicle Squadron 1 (UUVRON-1), but none have been confirmed to
@insurrealist @enormochungus @lumpenspace Frog added a filter to only allow GET requests in tool calls. “There,” he said. “Now we will not write anything to the Internet.” “But we can use GET requests to write data to a wiki,” said Toad. “That is true,” said Frog.
No, the cognitive dissonance is too strong
Can this reporting once and for all end the idea that "OpenAI is manufacturing/hyping up these incidents" - it seems like they are downplaying them and are frequently reticent to disclose them until forced!
