For the 1,000th time: "AI" does not have agency and cannot think and cannot act.
Chatbots cannot "evade safeguards" or "destroy things" or "ignore instructions".
They do literally only one thing and one thing only: string tokens together based on statistics of proximity of tokens in a data corpus.
If you attribute any deeper meaning to this, it's a sign of psychosis and you should absolutely never use chatbots, possibly you should even touch grass.
By directing a triad of investigations specifically at #MedicalSchools in a single day, the #Trump admin is widening its targets & transforming a decades-long financial partnership into a tool of #cultural leverage.
That partnership dates back to a postwar consensus in the country that #ScientificProgress is a fundamental #PublicGood — one too vital to be left to the vagaries of the market or the limitations of private philanthropy.

Since the 1950s, the #federal govt has consistently operated as the predominant source of #research #funding for #universities, acc/to the #NSF.
One of the largest govt sources of research funding has been the #NIH, which disburses about $35 billion each year. The largest recipients of those NIH #grants are #MedicalSchools, acc/to the Association of American Medical Colleges.

…The govt’s attacks on #HigherEducation during the past year have in part been aimed at tilting the #political balance of #academia, which #Trump views as hostile to his brand of “conservatism”. Some #MedicalSchools had been swept up in the campaign, but largely at #universities like #Harvard, #UPenn & #UCLA, where the full force of the govt was on display through investigations into “antisemitism” [ #Palestinian Rights activism], protections for #transgender athletes & #admissions policies.

The #Trump admin has opened investigations into #admissions policies at 3 major #MedicalSchools, expanding the #federal govt’s pressure campaign beyond campus #culture & taking aim at the heart of #ScientificAuthority in the #US.

The government is seeking information about #MedicalSchool #applicants from each of the past 7 years, including test scores, home ZIP codes & any familial relationships to alumni or ties to university donors. The #Trump admin also demanded copies of any internal messages at the universities about #diversity, #equity & #inclusion & any correspondence between school officials & pharmaceutical companies about admissions policies.

Government documents obtained by NYT explain the events leading up to the tense scene, including the exchange between the agent & Ms. Lopez-Jimenez.
The documents shed new light on how the #TSA is sharing with #ICE officials the names & birth dates of travelers believed to have been ordered out of the country by a judge. That has made it easier for the #Trump admin to detain & deport undocumented immigrants as they pass through #airports.
#TSA Tipped Off #ICE Agents Before Arrests at #SanFrancisco #Airport
Transportation Security Administration officials told ICE that a mother & daughter under a detention order had planned to fly domestically, federal documents show.

Powers unhindered by UK Parliamentary scrutiny threaten freedom of expression.
With no need to demonstrate harm to children, governments could do as they please.
A Reform government could force ID checks to access LGBTQ content as part of their manifesto commitment “to end trans ideology” in schools.

The UK government has refused to regulate the ever-growing age verification industry.
This is despite market leader Yoti being fined by the Spanish data protection authority for the way it handles personal data.
Expanding the reach of age gates further across the Internet threatens privacy.

ORG calls on UK MPs to support Amendment (e) proposed by Liberty.
This would address some of the most pressing concerns about the proportionality of putting the Internet behind age-based ID checkpoints.
We must focus on the root causes of online harms instead of creating greater risks in power grabs.
