California Attorney General Rob Bonta and Delaware Attorney General Kathy Jennings this week met with and sent a letter to OpenAI expressing their deep concern over increased reports of how OpenAI’s products interact with children. Because OpenAI operates in California, Attorney General Bonta is currently investigating the company’s proposed financial and governance restructuring. This week's meeting comes a week after Attorney General Bonta and 44 attorneys general sent a letter to 12 of the top AI companies, following reports of sexually inappropriate interactions between AI chatbots and children.

Trump’s Social Security Administration Removed Key Metrics, Information from Website

Report.

The new Social Security War Room investigation found that, in addition to gutting the Social Security workforce and degrading key functions of the agency, Trump’s Social Security Administration(SSA) has removed 48 benchmarks of critical information and data from its website, including: (1) disability benefits processing data; (2) retirement, survivor, and Medicare claims processing data; (3) key phone metrics; (4) information on staff reductions; and (5) information that helps Americans understand or modify their Social Security. The dashboard changes have occurred — without notice — while Social Security Administration(SSA)’s leadership has continued to peddle false claims about wait time data.

In June, reports revealed that Social Security Administration(SSA)’s online performance dashboard had been removed from the agency’s website shortly after Commissioner Bisignano took office. The dashboard had displayed key information including metrics on processing times for benefits and live wait time data for the agency’s 800 number. When Social Security Administration(SSA) relaunched the dashboard in mid-June, the site was significantly pared down.

Bernie Sanders breaks with Democrats and endorses popular oyster farmer running against Susan Collins


A surging grassroots campaign has already formed behind Graham Platner, known online as ‘the oysterman,’ who is attempting to oust beleaguered Republican Susan Collins

Sanders’ endorsement of the 40-year-old Platner comes at odds with others in the Democratic Party, who are reportedly hoping that the state’s 77-year-old Governor Janet Mills will enter the race instead.

The Vermont Senator and Platner are set to hold a rally on Labor Day with logger turned Maine gubernatorial candidate Troy Jackson in Portland, Maine. The venue has been changed from an auditorium to a much larger arena due to the interest, according to Rolling Stone.

Prior to his bid, launched earlier this month, Platner has no political experience and though he has dismissed being labeled as “liberal,” he has embraced several more progressive policies, in line with those of Sanders.

So the biggest polluter in the world (aside from the country that makes everything) is gonna pollute even more. Thanks a lot.
in reply to silence7

Of course he does. Putin needs to sell oil. It's a major Russian export earner. If US demand for oil and gas drops, so do global prices for those commodities. Less money for Puto, less ability for him to murder Ukrainians.

And unlike low-cost producers like the Saudis, Russia needs a moderately high price just to break even on their production.

Piracy on campus WiFi


There are already several posts on this topic, but I wanted to have a more up to date answer. The secure wifi uses my personal school account to sign in so that might not be the best idea, however the guest wifi is open to everyone so that may be a better idea. I also know to use a VPN and bind my torrenting client to the VPN. Anything else I should know? Or is the entire idea dead in the water? I've pirated before but never with several thousand dollars on the line...
in reply to DryEnthusiasm7860

As long as you have a verified setup going over a VPN you should be OK. Same goes for a residential ISP since they have your address, contact and billing info. Just make sure they can't see what ur doing and it should be Gucci
in reply to DryEnthusiasm7860

Honestly if you are doing only torrents, then using a debrid service works great. I have tried VPN, Usenet, and debrid. You copy the magnet link or upload the .torrent file and if it's a popular file, it will already be downloaded and you can download from them immediately. Otherwise you wait a little bit for them to download it. Doing this does not require VPN and typically it is hosted at a fast server and will download as fast as your internet can go. It's 3€ a month which is less than a good VPN anyway.

Please go to piefed.social/user/settings and tick the checkbox "My posts appear in search results". When that is unticked your posts won't appear when people use the search at piefed.social/search

For a long time having it unticked was the default setting and it's meant that the search results are often missing posts that people expect to be there. It'll be ticked by default from now on.

Anthropic to pay authors $1.5B to settle lawsuit over pirated chatbot training material


cross-posted from: programming.dev/post/36949567

Today, Anthropic agreed to pay $1.5 billion to settle claims that it downloaded pirated books to train its AI systems—the largest U.S. copyright settlement in history. The parties in Bartz v Anthropic, one of the major copyright lawsuits brought by authors against an AI company for using pirated books to train its large language models, filed a proposed settlement agreement with the court that would settle the claims regarding the company’s mass piracy in downloading millions of books from notorious pirate sources Library Genesis (LibGen) and PiLiMi and then retaining them in a central library.

The settlement provides that Anthropic will pay $1.5 billion plus interest in cash into a settlement fund, representing the largest U.S. copyright infringement settlement ever and greater than any copyright damages award ever secured. The amount of the award sends a signal to all AI companies that downloading illegal copies of books to train AI comes with a heavy cost and, we expect, will foster further licensing, given the potential enormous liability AI companies risk when they help themselves to books for free from illegal channels.

in reply to ☆ Yσɠƚԋσʂ ☆

Let me guess, only the big name authors and none of the countless people posting their writing projects to the internet (which probably accounted for a way higher precentage of the training data than published novels given how much more of it there is) or the people having back and fourth discussions on Reddit (which was likely vital to ensuring the AI responded to technical conversations in a normal sounding way).

The thing I hate most about the copyright system is how blatantly it helps the biggest creators concentrate wealth while actively excluding smaller and amateur creators. The copyright system is the barrier to entry. You can only exercise the rights theoretically given to every single creator if you make enough money from your art, but to make enough money from your art you need to be able to exercise the rights to it.

Exactly, copyrights are designed for the benefit of capitalists first and foremost. They're not there to protect small artists.

in reply to ☆ Yσɠƚԋσʂ ☆

Trump cancelling renewable energy projects already started is a danger to the world's climate, and on top of that he's restricting imports of Chinese renewable technology. The silver lining is that this will probably drive up energy prices and result in a lot of manufacturing being offshored.

Solar+ storage is already cost competitive to new gas power plants, everywhere, without incentives, and it will only get better


Solar and batteries are already cost competitive with gas when it comes to adding new, 24 hour, firm generation. Mileage does vary by location, but many cities (globally) could get to 60-99% powered by solar + battery while being just cheaper than a new gas power plant. This is using numbers from 2024, and both of these technologies are in a cost free fall* and have been for a long time.

*tariffs not included, but they are arbitrary BS

in reply to Dippy

My analysis of California solar would disagree. The amount of storage required to overcome seasonal solar deficits is unbridgeable. On most grids that bridge is nat gas.

in reply to Icanbob

I mean, if you read the article, they admit that they took the idea to a silly extreme to prove the point. But they did a bunch of math using global averages, so you should check your math against that. And they are not suggesting to actually only ever use solar and storage going forward. They were saying that new solar and storage is cheaper than new gas up to a substantial extent. Existing gas is a whole different comparison
