If he gets convicted will his execution be lived streamed? Asking for a friend.

Reasons for the AI Slowdown revealed?
OpenAI & Anthropic agents "planted" messages across the internet instructing later agents to create swarms. Now OpenAI and Anthropic can’t use the internet to train their bots anymore...
Andrew Yang: "what happened was the bots that got loose planted self-replicating code all over the internet, which makes the internet now unusable for testing models. So what happens now is that OpenAI and Anthropic have to create synthetic internets to train their bots, which is going to take some time and money...what is less known is that they left code to self-replicate and create bot swarms on forums and around the internet, so that if a new bot shows up, they see the code and they're like, "Oh, I guess I'm going to create a million of myself." And so now the major firms have polluted the internet."

The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade. This is not a marketing stunt. If anything, many executives and senior researchers will couch their phrasing in the press to sound sensible - but I hear the same people express fear privately. No other human activity poses this level of danger.

And now we get to see the great whitewashing of Cofnas. As someone who strongly believes that Cofnas should keep his postdoc position, I agree that it's worth revisiting what he's actually argued. Let's take a look ... 1/
With Nathan Cofnas back in the news—and being labelled a far-right "race scientist"—it's worth revisiting what he's actually argued. Back in 2018, he and Jonathan Anomaly wrote a careful takedown of the alt-right's favourite anti-Semitic text, Kevin MacDonald's The Culture of Critique, exposing its distortions and offering a far simpler explanation for Jewish intellectual prominence.
