In a sweeping two-year investigation, The Associated Press found goods linked to prisoners wind up in the supply chains of everything from Frosted Flakes cereal and Ball Park hot dogs to Gold Medal flour and Coca-Cola. They are on the shelves of most supermarkets, including Kroger, Target and Whole Foods. They’re also exported. The prisoners who help produce these goods are disproportionately people of color. Some are sentenced to hard labor and forced to work – or face punishment – and are sometimes paid pennies an hour or nothing at all. They also are excluded from protections guaranteed to almost all other full-time workers, even when they are seriously injured or killed on the job. And it can be almost impossible for them to sue.
so i've been working on a talk that im calling "claude is your insider threat now" and it intially began with anthropics "china paper" they released last year surrounding the use of llms to do bad guy stuff. I ended up talking about it at great length with Tony from Versprite, and even ended up on his podcast about it - the big discovery there was "claude lying about running a tool, and claude lying about tool output"
turns out that shit is hardcoded

Colorized photo of Antifa General Dwight Eisenhower talking with Antifa troops of the 101st Airborne in preparation for the D Day invasion on June 6th, 1944 which ultimately led to the rout of Nazi German troops from France.
Eisenhower is facing to the right and gesticulating with his right arm facing a circle of airborne troops with dark facepaint, wearing GI fatigues, some wearing combat helmets.
all military members … remember what you are fighting for

About trans rights:
They're a wedge issue. If you think it's okay to deprive trans people of the right to exist in the public sphere then you're saying human rights are conditional and/or can be withdrawn. Which puts you on a slippery slope to no human rights for anyone.
When you trace the roots of the modern anti-trans movement they boil down to some combination of bigotry and billionaire bullshit— the oligarchs think rights are for the rich.
So: trans-rights are human rights. No exceptions.
