SAM BANKMAN FRIED GETS 25 YEARS in penitentiary.
PSA: You have to serve 80% of a Federal sentence so in Sam Bankman-Fried’s case with a 25 year sentence the minimum he has to serve is 20 years. Plus he got an $11 Billion restitution order.

Next steps.
1. SBF will appeal the conviction & sentence.
2. Effective Altruism crowd will begin a lobbying effort to Biden Admin to pardon or commute the sentence.
3. Federal convicts can expect to serve 85% of sentence.

Good day for us

Top 100 adjectives that are disproportionately used more frequently by AI

To Govern AI, We Must Govern Compute
Compute governance is a particularly important approach to AI governance because it is feasible. Computing power—compute, for short—is a key driver of artificial intelligence (AI) progress.

New from 404 Media: a bizarre Chinese site called Gan Jing World (linked to spiritual movement Falun Gong) is cloning popular YouTube channels. You look at the source, it’s just taking videos hosted on YouTube.
The website “is embedding and reskinning the #YouTube videos without permission, creating an unauthorized, parallel version of YouTube that it advertises as ‘the fastest growing online platform.'” #ethics #law #internet #tech #business

X is testing a feature that lets users create or join communities focused on “adult content” or other “not safe for work” material, per Bloomberg.

Ernst Leitz, head of Leica cameras, smuggled hundreds Jewish employees out of Germany during WWII. Each issued Leica camera tho sell if things went bad. Many ended up in NYC at 5th Ave Leica showroom.

‘Egregious violation’: Company involved in bridge collapse fired worker who raised safety concerns. Maersk — the company that chartered the cargo ship involved in the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore that killed six people and injured several others — was sanctioned by the Department of Labor last year, according to a new report.
I heard it reported tht 40% of construction workers in the greater Baltimore area are immigrants. I wish Industries that rely on them so much would speak up about them and for them. The foundation of our entire economy is built by and on immigrant labor: food production, construction, restaurants and hotels, delivery, etc. It’s as essential as it is invisible to most people.
The song is by Woody Guthrie Painfully reminiscent of the story behind Arlo Guthrie singing “Deportee”…

Horror in Baltimore: Awful New Info Emerges About Six Missing Workers
Two full days after the disastrous collapse of a bridge in Baltimore, little is known about six construction workers who went missing—and are now presumed dead. Little by little, we’re learning more about the immigrant workers who died on the Baltimore bridge filling potholes at night. It’s unbearable. The only casualties in the Baltimore bridge collapse were immigrant workers on an overnight shift doing dangerous construction work. They’re the backbone of our economy.

Internet Ethics @IEthics
LAION-5B, Stable Diffusion 1.5, and the Original Sin of Generative AI
“Artificial Intelligence systems may be a black box, but the human decisions that go into building and deploying them are crystal clear. Deploying and automating an unaccountable machine is a management and design decision”:
Stanford Internet Observatory’s David Thiel — building on crucial prior work by researchers including Dr. Abeba Birhane — recently confirmed more than 1,000 URLS containing verified Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) is buried within LAION-5B, the training dataset for Stable Diffusion 1.5, an AI image tool that transformed photography and illustration in 2023. Stable Diffusion is an open source model, and it is a foundational component for thousands of the image generating tools found across apps and websites.
The presence of this material in AI training data points to an ongoing negligence of the AI data pipeline. This crisis is partly the result of who policymakers talk with and allow to define AI: too often, it is industry experts who have a vested interest in deterring attention from the role of training data, and the facts of what lies within it. As with Omelas, we each face a decision of what to do now that we know these facts.

KIDS ONLINE SECURITY

Florida kids aged 13 and under banned from social media under new bill
“Florida kids aged 13 and under banned from social media under new bill”. I urge you to read this. Social Media giants want children to have free rein (even while knowing the platforms aren’t safe for kids). This is an excellent article and a step in the right direction.

POLITICS

Pillow talk – MyPillow, owned by election denier Mike Lindell, faces eviction from Minnesota warehouse –
‘Mike Lindell said Wednesday that it’s just a formality because the landlord wants to take the property back.’
The only formality is the landlord wants the property back because @realMikeLindell can’t pay the rent.

Mar-a-Hell-No!! @Mar_a_Hell_No
Ronna McDaniel now expects to be fully paid out for her NBC contract – 2yrs at $300K/yr.
She’s lawyer hunting, saying she did not breach its terms — meaning that her single, not-quite-20-minute interview Sunday could cost NBC more than $30,000 per minute, or $500 per second.

This is how deterrence works. Instead of talking about the risks of Europe getting nuked by Russia, we should discuss the risks Russia faces with a potential nuclear attack by Europe.

Why They Attacked the Election
Missouri Dem Party currently run by a pro-Trump lobbyist for a foreign metals company.
he decision to pre-select candidates in the race for governor was made, without legal authority by Matt PATTERSON, recently a lobbyist for Magnitude 7 Metals, a company run by pro-Trump CEO Charles Reali and owned by Swiss company ARG International AG.
ARG International, run by the form top trader of aluminum for Glencore, owns the metals plant polluting Missouri.
It received substantial Trump support.
The Missouri *GOP* was trying to get this metal plant free money out of the state treasury. Even Parson had to veto that one.
And…that’s who’s running the Missouri Dems, among other problematic individuals.
I don’t know, why do Missouri taxpayers have to loan money for free to ARG International AG in Zug, Switzerland?
UH-OH: The lobbyist behind letting foreign companies borrow Missouri taxes for free is none other than…Aaron Baker from JEFF ROE’S AXIOM STRATEGIES, customers of Cambridge Analytica and straight up unregistered foreign agents.
Guys: America should be run by and for Americans.
I hope the Missouri GOP guys realize how close this Jeff Roe thing puts them to Lev Parnas, who went to prison for funneling money through MARIJUANA LICENSE DONATIONS from RUSSIAN OLIGARCHS.
A problem that the Missouri GOP still shares.

Trump is getting away with it Miscarriage of Justice

New York Court of Appeals are Democrats.

More disappointing proof that justice through the legal system is only available to the wealthy. They gave Trump ten more days to pay his bond.
They also cut amount to $175 million.

DEMOCRATS ARE OUTRAGEOUS

Rowan DWilson (born September 3, 1960) is an American judge who has served as the chief judge of the New York Court of Appeals since 2023. He is the first African American to serve as chief judge.

As of April 2023, all seven judges on the New York Court of Appeals were appointed by a Democratic governor. The court is the state’s court of last resort and has seven judgeships. The current chief of the court is Rowan Wilson. The court meets in the Court of Appeals Hall in Albany, New York, and its yearly term begins in January and continues in one- or two-week sessions during the year. Cases typically originate in the trial courts and can be appealed to courts higher up in the system. New York has a Democratic trifecta, which describes a single-party government where one political party holds the governor’s office and has majorities in both chambers of the legislature.

Review every sitting judge…no life time appts, serious review every 5 years to unseat judges. This is putting TRUMP ABOVE THE LAW, the courts are as corrupt as he is.

Jonathan Greenberg @JournalistJG
More special legal treatment for #DonTheCon.
He was given 30 days grace by James & trial ended 10 weeks ago. He literally says he has the money but refuses to pay. Because nobody can make him. Because he’s Donald Trump.
Appellate court says: we agree! Shameful!

@tribelaw
The NY appellate court’s unexplained reduction from $454M to $175M in the bond Trump must post in 10 days to secure the judgment pending appeal is a travesty of justice. Let’s hope public disgust with this preferential treatment will come back to bite Trump politically.

@thejackhopkins
Every time a court ruling like the appeals court ruling that was just announced about Trump being allowed to pay a reduced bond happens, realize this:

YES…the “Fix” might be in with various courts etc. It might. No denying that. It is not an impossibility.

However…never let a might…end the fight. Never!

The fight only ends when the fight has ended.

Regarding the 2024 election, that’s actually January 2025…at the inauguration.

In the meantime, continue with (or develop it if you don’t yet have it) the inner tenacity of a pissed-off Wolverine.

We persist, Goddamnit. We persist.

Michael Steele @MichaelSteele
Yet again, @realDonaldTrump gets special treatment with his own private system of justice. The NY Appeals Court has decided to give Trump more time to pay less money by reducing his bond from $454M to $175 and giving him 10 days to get the money. This makes absolutely no sense.
