On top of this, OpenAI's president Greg Brockman dropped $25 million into Trump's MAGA Inc. super PAC last September, the single largest donation that cycle. CEO Sam Altman gave $1M to Trump's inaugural fund. OpenAI is also the top spender behind a $125M+ AI super PAC that targets politicians who push for stricter AI regulation. On the morning of February 27, Altman said in an internal memo that OpenAI shared Anthropic's red lines on mass surveillance and autonomous weapons. By that evening, he signed a Pentagon deal with no such protections. Anthropic, meanwhile, donated $20M to a PAC supporting AI guardrails and is now in federal court defending its refusal to give the military unrestricted access to its technology.
My little cat Slimy passed last night. She found us about 16 years ago, crying from a car wheel well covered in engine oil. Little wildling knew right away she wanted this ‘indoor life’.
Spent most of COVID on my lap and the past ten years sleeping snuggled against me. Most polite girl, she would gently tap-tap me when she wanted something.
I’ll miss her more than words can tell. But I know she had a good one, a happy, warm life. #cats #rainbowbridge
Meta thinks now is a great time to launch facial recognition surveillance tech in their creepy glasses because EFF will be too distracted by fascism to notice.

I am fortunate to have met her a few times and even baked a cake or two with her guidance in her kitchen.
“Often called the “cake lady,” Mary Ada lobbied for and popularized Maryland’s official state dessert in 2008. The Smith Island cake features eight thin layers of yellow cake, covered with a rich, satiny, fudgy icing.”
There appears to be credible rumors that Feb 1, ICE presence in MoCo is expected to jump from a current population of 15 to 200. Looks like they have already been raiding Blair High School.
