It was great to be alive during that brief period of human history after the invention of the smartphone camera but before the invention of generative AI that can create images. It meant that, for a few years, I was able to trust that pictures I saw online were of something that actually happened.

OpenAI has shared the system card for GPT 5.6 and the key message is it’s dangerous but not THAT dangerous.

I expect all the major AI companies will pivot their safety messaging in this direction now it’s clear the Trump administration is willing to block their broad release.

Yes: look to •systems•, not just individuals! And if you're looking at individuals, ask •which ones•.

Yes, we should all take what individual action we can take. Yes, we all share responsibility. But there are in fact specific people to blame — and yet it is not those specific ultra-wealthy people but rather the poorest, people who've individually done the least among us to destroy the climate, who will pay the greatest cost for the damage humans have caused.

"Huddled in a Zodiac boat in icy waters off the Antarctic peninsula, I waited patiently for an Adélie penguin to propel itself from the water to the safety of an iceberg. Persistence delivered as I captured this penguin in an almost levitational-like state, as if posing for the camera”

RE: https://infosec.exchange/@SecureOwl/116817499565264483

It's worth reiterating, always worth reiterating:

In this situation, the LLM does not in any sense •understand• why it did what it did, and its response is not in any way an explanation or a window into how it works. Its response is not even based on whatever underlying mechanism made it start responding in a different language. Really, it's not!

Its response is a generic response to being asked “Why did you switch to a different language?,” generated from answers people typically gave to similar questions in the training dataset. That's why it answers with a stereotype about Hindi.

It's roughly the same process as a kid making up an excuse when confronted about some impulsive thing they did. First comes the action, then comes the question, then they look at the question and try to generate a reasonable-sounding response.
