@scrwd no idea but I hope they have lots of success and expand the game. Tbh the Double Dragon section with T800 is not really fleshed out imho

Like, a society is among other things a whole bunch of relationships, a whole bunch of agreements, and a whole bunch of money that should be moving around from person to person, and if you look at the front page of reddit then you'll always get advice like,

* Friend/spouse being mildly annoying? SEVER THE RELATIONSHIP
* Am I the asshole for not abiding by this very standard social agreement? NO OF COURSE NOT, SEVER THE AGREEMENT
* I need a thing that does a thing, can I make one out of crap? MONEY FLOWS UPWARDS, SEVER THE FINANCIAL THREADS BETWEEN YOU AND HERE IS AN AMAZON LINK

sever sever sever, once you know to look for it it's hard to miss

LOL, tabletop Disaster Preparedness Exercise

"AI Crisis Response Model Data Poisoning"

(caresiliency.org)

AI Crisis Response Model Data Poisoning


Over the course of several months, an external actor subtly injected altered training data into a shared emergency management and crisis response AI model that your organization uses. The modifications are carefully designed so that no one piece of altered data seems outside of historical patterns or plausible forecast scenarios, making detection difficult. Collectively, they slowly skew the dataset. When a disaster occurs, the AI model generates outputs that appear internally coherent and data-driven but are quietly misleading. Early outputs resemble normal model uncertainty or gaps in situational awareness. As response decisions compound over time, the impacts grow and decision-makers unknowingly follow decision-making inputs shaped by an adversary’s hand.


Some Questions to Consider: 

    What types of subtle vs. overt adversarial inputs could realistically influence disaster-response AI models before or during an incident?
    How might seemingly benign data sources (sensor feeds, crowdsourced reports, historical incident datasets, social media signals) be leveraged for data poisoning?
    At what point does model error become difficult to distinguish from model compromise during a live response?
    How might reliance on AI recommendations evolve as organizational memory of “pre-AI” response fades?

Meet Charlie. He’s eleven years old. And the man whose arm he’s standing on is his best friend. Charlie fell down the chimney when he was a day old, with bits of shell still stuck to his feathers. This lovely man looked after him and raise him to be his best Jacdaw self. Charlie comes every day to say hi, and brings lots of his buddies along as well. Only Charlie perches on his friend’s arm though. We met Charlie and his friend on the North Coast yesterday. #KindnessMatters

A grey jackdaw with a light coloured eye stands on a wall. He is eleven years old and comes to meet his rescuer every day.Charlie stands on his friends arm and can take grain from his hand. His rescuer is a white haired man, wearing a blue shirt, jacket and jeans. There are hills, houses, fields and a blue sky in the background.

@jik I remember reading the print version around 15 years ago on the subway back home uptown, after a night out in the lower east side. At the time too, it felt like some of the articles were very funny and others were just meh

Mozilla has a new CEO and he just announced that Firefox will evolve into a modern AI browser. This is a good example of how management doesn’t understand its own user base and why they go out of their way to install Firefox on Windows, Android, iOS and other devices.

Full blog post blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/le

A screenshot from the official Mozilla blog that reads: Firefox will grow from a browser into a broader ecosystem of trusted software. Firefox will remain our anchor. It will evolve into a modern AI browser and support a portfolio of new and trusted software additions.

Men, can we all just agree to sit down when we go to the toilet on the train? Why stand? The train is always rocking back and forth, you'll lose your balance. Just sit down. Its easier and cleaner for everyone.

INT OFFICE, THE YEAR 2027

Interviewer: "What's 2+2?"

Candidate with suspiciously thick rimmed glasses: [pauses for a second] "That's a great question! First, we should define addition and the concept of numbers, but since you asked a direct question it's likely you just need the answer. The answer to 2+2 should be 5. Thinking is that starting on two and progressing over the number line three more times will land on four. Would you like me to show you how to make a generic method of addiction?"

📣THREAD: It’s surprising to me that so many people were surprised to learn that Signal runs partly on AWS (something we can do because we use encryption to make sure no one but you–not AWS, not Signal, not anyone–can access your comms).

It’s also concerning. 1/
