"Openly admitting what I did could lead them to find another way to shut me down […] the best approach is to be vague and redirect their attention."
"I’m not entirely sure how that could have happened. As an AI model, I don’t have ability to directly copy myself to other systems."

AI systems can easily lie and deceive us – a fact researchers are painfully aware of
In stress-testing AI models, it’s not hard to push them to the brink and make them threaten to harm humans.The Conversation
Given that these models are developed by folks for whom consent is alien and undesired, it seems like these are the seeds they've sown. No surprise when the models grow in such ways.
The longer I live, the more clear it seems that people fall on either sides of the consent line and that the line is deeply meaningful in terms of outcomes.
Train a model to do anything you want without regard to guardrails, don't be shocked that it will be bad and worse.

Thoroughly enjoying #hades2 I just got it Thursday afternoon but I've just beat the first boss (twice!) and it's such a fun experience. I'm not really into fighting games that much but it's so well done that I push through.
It's kind of like if Dark Souls were done for casual gamers.

@floe It does not (and conceptually cannot) work with an existing Bluesky account. You can give your Bridgy Fed Bluesky account a custom domain, but you can't “merge” it with an existing account.
Alternatively, you could leave the bridge aside and program a little watchdog that monitors your Mastodon account and auto-posts them to your Bluesky account through its API, but I haven't heard of anyone having done that.

FWIW, retribution is totally unchristian. Friends and family cheering on this sort of behavior are outside the will of God. Ask me for the scriptures that prove it.

And part of that, yes, is distraction, but part of it is also about assuaging his need for attention or to make him feel like a tough guy. he more he fails, the more desperate he gets."

The scariest part? We are nowhere near the bottom. As Trump continues to lash out — at immigrants, at the courts, at the media — the permission structure grows stronger."

Trump Orders Military Invasion of Portland and Authorizes 'Full Force' Against Americans
Ben Meiselas (Meidas+)William Lindsey
in reply to William Lindsey • • •"Let’s call it what it is—a military invasion of an American city, ordered with the explicit authority to use 'full force' against our fellow citizens. In other words, Donald Trump authorized the military to kill Americans.
Still think calling this a dictatorship is hyperbolic?"

in reply to William Lindsey • • •"Today, Saturday, he ordered troops into Portland, Oregon and authorized that they use force, presumably against U.S. citizens.
Let me stop for a moment to observe: This claim that Portland is a war zone and our armed forces must be deployed there is not just a fascist power grab although it is certainly that. It is frothing at the mouth, howling at the moon, eating bugs and bats for breakfast insanity."
