Apparently people have been getting their needs fully met from that thread I started as well as the multiple other threads inspired by Link.

If this doesn’t demonstrate Link’s impact and the value of BlueSky as a mutual aid network, I don’t know what can.

Keep it up y’all.

“AI chatbot teaches how to make dirty bomb to online NeoNazi” is coming. Like no doubt at this point.

My research for this story included reading a bunch of LLMs' model/safety cards (basically whitepapers). Four of the five big US companies* found this year that their new models' ability to provide significant help making a bioweapon was closing the gap the oh-shit-this-might-happen threshold.

Here's the concern: It's technically possible for a committed amateur to make chem or bioweapons (variants of smallpox, polio, anthrax). The information's out there on the internet. It's just obscure and incredibly hard to learn. But now we're building "PhD level custom tutors" for everyone.

New: We jailbroke four versions of ChatGPT to get instructions on how to create viruses and chemical weapons.

The instructions were all flawed, and the it didn't work on GPT-5. But 4 of the 5 big AI companies have internally found their top models are close to being able to tutor bioterrorists.

ChatGPT safety systems can be bypassed to get weapons instructions

NBC News found that OpenAI’s models repeatedly provided answers on making chemical and biological weapons.

"NO PASARÁN!"

- A wonderful anti-fascist frog commissioned for @ayoub.bsky.social

A frog dressed in Gandalf's outfit surrounded by the text " No Pasarán!" (translation: You shall not pass) written in pink on each edge of a diamond outline. The frog holds a staff and a sword in the same way Gandalf did in the Lord of the Ring when confronting the Balrog. The color scheme is: Red, Black and Pink.

Bluesky keeps deleting Lubna's account, which is outrageous, cruel and dehumanizing.

This is just a Palestinian lady trying to survive with her kids.

And other Palestinians who reached out to me in the past also face this discrimination from this website, some I've not heard news from for weeks!

Al Raven @alraven.bsky.social · 15d

My friends, Lubna and her kids need our help to survive. Please donate, $450 is easily doable, and also share/repost to spread the word!

Lubna, we love you and your beautiful kids ❤️💔🫶

This is a warning to every artists and clients using PayPal: Leave the note blank or send invoices. Apparently even saying "commission" makes them trigger happy. #SaveSpeech #StopPaypros

And continue the pressure by calling PayPal. Helpful link here: anti-censorship-campaign.carrd.co#phonescript
