Get the Flock out

@skinnylatte Congratulations! The Preliminary Report's sourcing and distribution has some flaws you may find useful to introduce in the room, including four questions delegates can raise directly: https://www.flyingpenguin.com/four-integrity-failures-in-un-preliminary-report-on-ai/ Let's hope the Dialogue proves to be the real debate this time. You've earned it.

The answer is Palantir. Polite as Palantir.

"He said the scariest moment in this ordeal was when he had to tell his daughter what was going on. The Streevers are not doomscrollers, but they do talk about politics with the kids. Streever tried to give his daughter some context in case agents approached them when they got on the train from New York City to Rochester. 'She was very upset. She thought they were going to come and kill me,' he said. 'I did not portray it that way, but it’s hard for a jet-lagged seven-year-old.' If the agents stopped them, Streever told his daughter, they would be polite, do not panic."

long standing problem in America finally coming to light. history full of "he shot himself in back of head with a rifle while handcuffed in the patrol car"

@ai6yr their "defense" reads to me as admission of guilt. if the driver is to be blamed, then Tesla admits their automatic emergency brake design never functioned as marketed. they are boxing themselves into admitting the car is fraud.

an Accelerator showing 100% after that crash suggests software defect.

@aral @0xtero @elle @_elena happy to dive into the protocol if you need. but it's so broken by design, i would stay there unless you really want me to give you a code sniff and test. https://www.flyingpenguin.com/w-stands-for-wtaf-eu-state-surveillance-as-social-media/

@aral @0xtero @elle @_elena yes, it was business, yet not as usual. IBM was servicing the machines on lease for genocide and maintaining them. when I taught tech ethics to CS grad students and large corporations, there was always one person, just one person, who said "if they pay, anything is ok". they were the exception to the rest of the students who disagreed (at least in class) that knowledge of genocide let alone active enablement ends the business side of the argument.

@0xtero @elle @aral @_elena there does seem to be something off about this. BlueSky is insecure and centralized by design, opposite to what Swedish entrepreneurs should be investing in unless they front foreign interests

@aral @_elena the BlueSky architecture is deeply flawed. I recognize it from the NSA room 641A days. https://www.flyingpenguin.com/2006-mark-klein-nsa-documents-missing/

@Em0nM4stodon a little biometric resistance history, if it helps: https://www.flyingpenguin.com/this-day-in-1381-biometric-age-verification-leads-to-beheadings/

@simon_brooke the myth is not just wrong, it is mathematically illiterate. Ford's own workers were a rounding error in the car market. No firm manufactures its own demand by overpaying its workforce, because it loses money on every unit it sells back to the people it just paid.

Ford was a tyrant in 1913 who burned over 50,000 hires just to hold 14,000 jobs. Turnover was at 370% and daily absenteeism 10%, because of his unbearable line and staff walked. The entire context for a January 1914 wage jump, that roughly doubled pay, was to collapse his quit rate almost overnight. (1987 paper: https://www.nber.org/system/files/working_papers/w2101/w2101.pdf). And it depended on Ford's Sociological Department, which sent investigators into workers' homes to police their english language skills, drinking, their finances, their domestic arrangements.

The Ford myth hides the externality. It's a myth. The real man behind it pumped racist hate propaganda through his car dealer network in the twenties, had his portrait in Hitler's office, took a Nazi medal in 1938, and fought his own workers so hard that by 1941 they were marching on his plant with placards reading FORD = HITLER.

congrats to OpenClaw for going two weeks without a fresh remote-code vuln disclosure, while it mismanages people's credentials, ships with authentication off on 63 percent of running instances, and writes its only logs to local files the agent itself can delete 🎉
