Some Democratic senators regret voting to confirm Kristi Noem as DHS secretary
Some of the seven Democrats who voted for Noem say they'd now oppose her in the wake of Trump's aggressive deportation plans and last week's incident involving Sen. Alex Padilla.
Five days after Donald Trump's inauguration, seven Senate Democrats voted to confirm Kristi Noem to lead the Department of Homeland Security.
Nearly 5 months later, most of them are critical of her, with some going as far as to say they regret their votes.
"I'm very disappointed. I'm very disappointed in her," Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., told NBC News this week. "If I were voting on her today, I definitely wouldn't vote for her."
Freshman Sen. Andy Kim, D-N.J., also said he would vote differently and oppose her nomination if he could do it again.

The Entire Internet Is Reverting to Beta - The Atlantic
Paywall Bypass Link archive.is/0Dxp0
A car that accelerates instead of braking every once in a while is not ready for the road. A faucet that occasionally spits out boiling water instead of cold does not belong in your home. Working properly most of the time simply isn’t good enough for technologies that people are heavily reliant upon. And two and a half years after the launch of ChatGPT, generative AI is becoming such a technology.Even without actively seeking out a chatbot, billions of people are now pushed to interact with AI when searching the web, checking their email, using social media, and online shopping. Ninety-two percent of Fortune 500 companies use OpenAI products, universities are providing free chatbot access to potentially millions of students, and U.S. national-intelligence agencies are deploying AI programs across their workflows.

I don’t understand what is “terrifying” about that. Even without the bot, anyone with malicious intent could imagine up a random phone number.

Why establishment Democrats still can’t stomach progressive candidates like Zohran Mamdani
Who’s afraid of Zohran Mamdani? The answer, it would seem, is the entire establishment. The 33-year-old democratic socialist and New York City mayoral candidate has surged in the polls in recent weeks, netting endorsements not just from progressive voices like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders but also his fellow candidates for the mayoralty, with Brad Lander and Michael Blake taking advantage of the ranked-choice voting system in the primary and cross-endorsing Mamdani’s campaign.
With the primary just around the corner, polls have Mamdani closing the gap on Andrew Cuomo, the disgraced former governor of New York. This has spooked the establishment, which is now doing everything it can to stop Mamdani’s rise.
Take Michael Bloomberg, who endorsed Cuomo earlier this month and followed this up with a $5m donation to a pro-Cuomo Pac. The largesse appears motivated not by admiration for Cuomo – during his mayoralty, sources told the New York Times that Bloomberg saw Cuomo as “the epitome of the self-interested, horse-trading political culture he has long stood against” – but animosity towards Mamdani and his policies.
Mamdani wants to increase taxes on residents earning more than $1m a year, increase corporate taxes and freeze rents: policies that aren’t exactly popular with the billionaire set.

bentornamento dell’NHK leggendo senza ritegno per far marcire il tempismo
Prendendo quasi al volo l’occasione di averlo caricato su TomoStash l’altro giorno (dove ci è finito semplicemente perché avevo già il file da parte scaricato, che ha preso molta polvere dato che non avevo mai trovato il momento giusto per leggerlo), stasera ho preso da parte il mio momento più marcio per iniziare a leggere quel “capolavoro accidentale” che è Welcome to the NHK, storia di cui avevo consumato solo l’adattamento anime… La situazione scaturita è finora surreale come al solito, e i pianeti che si sono allineati affinché le cose andassero così (nella misura in cui il loro movimento influenza costantemente ed inevitabilmente la mia esistenza) lo sapevano persino ben prima di tracciare la propria traiettoria nello spazio, che il doloroso universo in cui vivo io e quello di Satō si sarebbero toccati già per i primi fondamentali attimi. 🙏Ero fuori verso inizio sera (cosa certamente non tipica per una hikikomori, ma io non sono ciò; io sono per molti versi ben peggio, e solo all’immediata apparenza più socialmente accettabile), poco prima di tornare a casa, mentre cercavo di scrivere delle bozze non molto sensate sul mio telefono; gira che mi rigira, mi escono solo stronzate. Al che, dal niente, penso “basta!” e vado immediatamente sul mio sito piratista, immaginando che sia molto meglio abbandonarmi alla lettura, se proprio devo distrarmi con le parole, piuttosto che impazzire in quel modo. Le uniche alternative sensate sarebbero state togliere il telefono dalle mani (“prova a non morire challenge”), aprire Duolingo, o aprire qualche puzzle game, ma nessuna di quelle opzioni sul momento mi interessava minimamente; quindi, meglio leggere per dimenticare… cioè, per passare 10 minuti… e scelgo proprio quel romanzo leggero, che pur conoscendo dall’anime, essendo passati molti anni, ricordo abbastanza male da giustificare al quadrato questa lettura. 🥁
È incredibile allora come, prima iniziando a leggere, poi tornando a casa, le energie dell’inizio della storia e quella della mia anima stiano perfettamente combaciando. Non faccio assolutamente spoiler — perché, anche se l’opera è vecchia e ben localizzata in italiano, pare che in realtà relativamente poca gente la conosca, e personalmente consiglio fortemente di recuperarla in una delle tante forme sotto cui è disponibile — ma Satō ha perfettamente ragione. È incredibile quanto la gente per strada ci guardi storti (anche se pare che a me non sussurrino nulla alle spalle) e, nonostante nel mio caso questo probabilmente non sarà abbastanza per farmi abbandonare l’università, certamente le basi più astratte e generalizzate di causa ed effetto le abbiamo in comune: la più assoluta ed irrisolvibile condizione di reclusione sociale in senso lato. E quindi, se lui passa 16 ore al giorno sotto al kotatsu a dormire, io che vivo in Italia (dove i こたつ non si usano) e sono in estate (dove i コタツ non si usano) potrei tristemente finire 16 ore al giorno a bedrottare, con una mano su un tomo e l’altra che graffia la parete o mi distrugge i capelli… 🕷️
Sulla fine del momento di lettura — che già mi ha fatta arrivare ad 1/4 del libro — però, comunque, mi era salito un mal di testa tanto strano quanto particolarmente fastidioso. L’emicrania lieve così mi viene quando passo 10 ore di fila davanti al PC a programmare software che nessuno mai userà (
inclusa la sottoscritta dopo qualche settimana…), non dovrebbe venirmi per aver passato si e no un’ora e mezza sul letto tranquilla a leggere; per giunta, con il Kindle, e non un maledetto dispositivo con tremendo schermo distruggi-retine LCD od OLED! Ma forse sono semplicemente fuori allenamento, e il mio cervello si fonde a leggere così tanto tutto di fila. Tanto poi mi è passato tutto dopo aver cenato, ma non sono sicura se è perché avevo fame e l’ho placata, o semplicemente è perché ho staccato un attimo… anche perché, perdendomi nel leggere, la fame mi era passata di mente; cazzo se i libri saziano seriamente più della materia organica commestibile…e se fungono da grandissimo copium…#lettura #reading #WelcomeToTheNHK

Since you mention you have no real opinions about lemm.ee.
You were just on there by chance.
I’ll propose you the style of blahaj which is to have downvotes disabled, its quite a different way to interact with lemmy, maybe a bit weird to get used to. But it feels much less hostile. And it fosters a good culture of just ignoring shitty takes and replies.
As far as “no extremes” you mentioned you prefer, blahaj blocks lemmygrad and hexbear (ultra authoritarians) and any far right instance (think hilariouschaos)

Regardless of technicalities, they were #1 biggest player. (Today they are like #3 or #5?) What I mean to say, is that they got busted mainly because of this. To make an example.

Oggi, 18 giugno, nel 1928, è dato per disperso l'esploratore Roald Amundsen
Dopo essere stato informato dell'incidente del dirigibile Italia a bordo del quale si trovavano l'esploratore italiano Umberto Nobile e il suo equipaggio, il 18 giugno 1928 Amundsen salì a bordo dell'idrovolante francese Latham 47 e andò generosamente in loro soccorso, nonostante le forti discussioni avute con l'italiano riguardo ai meriti della precedente avventura aeronautica con il dirigibile N1-Norge. Durante le ricerche, effettuate sopra i cieli del Mare Glaciale Artico, il mezzo scomparve nelle acque del mare di Barents senza mai essere ritrovato. Le numerose ricerche non ebbero alcun esito.

[JS] The OpenAI Files Document Broken Promises, Safety Compromises, Conflicts of Interest, and Leadership Concerns
Major Areas of Concern:
::: spoiler Restructuring: Analysis of planned changes to the nonprofit's relationship with its for-profit subsidiary
- OpenAI plans to remove limits on investor returns: OpenAI once capped investor profits at a maximum of 100x to ensure that, if the company succeeds in building AI capable of automating all human labor, the proceeds would go to humanity. They have now announced plans to remove that cap.
- OpenAI portrays itself as preserving nonprofit control while potentially disempowering the nonprofit: OpenAI claims to have reversed course on a decision to abandon nonprofit control, but the details suggest that the nonprofit’s board would no longer have all the authority it would need to hold OpenAI accountable to its mission.
- Investors pressured OpenAI to make structural changes: OpenAI has admitted that it is making these changes to appease investors who have made their funding conditional on structural reforms, including allowing unlimited returns—exactly the type of investor influence OpenAI’s original structure was designed to prevent.
:::
::: spoiler CEO Integrity: Concerns regarding leadership practices and misleading representations from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman
- Senior employees have attempted to remove Altman at each of the three major companies he has run: Senior employees at Altman’s first startup twice urged the board to remove him as CEO over “deceptive and chaotic” behavior, while at Y Combinator, he was forced out and accused of absenteeism and prioritizing personal enrichment.
- Altman claimed ignorance of a scheme to coerce employees into ultra-restrictive NDAs: However, he signed documents giving OpenAI the authority to revoke employees’ vested equity if they didn’t sign the NDAs.
- Altman repeatedly lied to board members: For example, Altman stated that the legal team had approved a safety process exemption when they had not, and he reported that one board member wanted another board member removed when that was not the case.
:::
::: spoiler Transparency & Safety: Concerns regarding safety processes, transparency, and organizational culture at OpenAI
- OpenAI coerced employees into signing highly restrictive NDAs threatening their vested equity: Former OpenAI employees faced highly restrictive non-disclosure and non-disparagement agreements that threatened the loss of all vested equity if they ever criticized the company, even after resigning.
- OpenAI has rushed safety evaluation processes: OpenAI rushed safety evaluations of its AI models to meet product deadlines and significantly cut the time and resources dedicated to safety testing.
- OpenAI insiders described a culture of recklessness and secrecy: OpenAI employees have accused the company of not living up to its commitments and systematically discouraging employees from raising concerns.
:::
::: spoiler Conflicts of Interest: Documenting potential conflicts of interest of OpenAI board members
- OpenAI’s nonprofit board has multiple seemingly unaddressed conflicts of interest: While OpenAI defines ‘independent’ directors as those without OpenAI equity, the board appears to overlook conflicts from members' external investments in companies that benefit from OpenAI partnerships.
- CEO Sam Altman downplayed his financial interest in OpenAI: Despite once claiming to have no personal financial interest in OpenAI, much of Altman’s $1.6 billion net worth is spread across investments in OpenAI partners including Retro Biosciences and Rewind AI, which stand to benefit from the company’s continued growth.
- No recusals announced for critical restructuring decision: Despite these conflicts, OpenAI has not announced any board recusals for the critical decision of whether they will restructure and remove profit caps, unlocking billions of dollars in new investment.

Until now, we only had fragments of these cousins. Now we have face. Studying our evolutionary development and our sister-species is one of my favorite aspects of archeology. We’re constantly developing new information.Side note: look up the initial presentation of Homo naledi. The leading archeologist did a phenomenal talk a couple of years ago (I think in December). It was really an exciting presentation. But I’m also pretty nerdy.
