Leaders said there was a “robust process” to ensure the contracts align with Google’s AI principles.

Ah, I think you’ve identified their “robust process” and what the key “principles” are.

Yeah, got headhunted for 10 replace-doctors-with-AI startup for every 1 ed-tech company that even looked at my resume, and the company I’m at now, though good on paper, is squeezing AI into every nook and cranny as fast as they can while sidelining security concerns.

It seems like the AI never gets tired of writing code

I think that’s a telling observation. The whole reason we have software, and programming languages, is that people get tired.

Necessity has invented generally and reuse to combat repetition. With agents that don’t tire, they don’t gravitate to generally — but their endless repetition does tire their human reverse-centaur bodies dealing with the code review and maintainability they can’t reason about.

Yeah what’s the play here? Drum up “we want to do cool things” support for the midterms? Capitalize on rising oil prices and hope Republicans either flip or look really bad?

Project Monarch sounds neat too!

A kilometer detection range is incredible, I’d love to read more details. What spectrum, license, receiver antenna, protocol.

Also reported by the Texas Tribune . Horrifying. I can’t imagine what it would do to a kid to spend 1st grade in a concentration camp eating moldy food, instead of in a safe loving home getting solid nutrition, I only hope they can recover.

Gofundme preparing to support them on release. Apparently one of the trumped-up reasons for holding them is they don’t have means of support? I didn’t see a more direct way to help get them out.

The hair clips are a nice detail.
