The owner of the shuttered Three Mile Island nuclear plant has been awarded a $1 billion federal loan guarantee that will enable it to shift onto taxpayers some of the risk of its plan to restart the Pennsylvania facility and sell the electricity to Microsoft for its data centers. Amid rising energy demands, the taxpayer-backed loan will go toward the unprecedented effort to reopen a mothballed U.S. nuclear plant that suffered a partial meltdown decades ago.

Heavily armed Mexican Navy personnel came to investigate the scene and discovered that the men had landed in Mexico by mistake and intended to plant the signs in South Texas. The situation was resolved without violence, and the Mexican Navy removed the signs
If this were reversed, Mexican contractors would have been shot or had a bomb dropped on them by drone.

ChatGPT for Fascists.By AJ DellingerReading time 2 minutes
Last week, a judge handed down a 223-page opinion that lambasted the Department of Homeland Security for how it has carried out raids targeting undocumented immigrants in Chicago. Buried in a footnote were two sentences that revealed at least one member of law enforcement used ChatGPT to write a report that was meant to document how the officer used force against an individual.
The ruling, written by US District Judge Sara Ellis, took issue with the way members of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other agencies comported themselves while carrying out their so-called “Operation Midway Blitz” that saw more than 3,300 people arrested and more than 600 held in ICE custody, including repeated violent conflicts with protesters and citizens. Those incidents were supposed to be documented by the agencies in use-of-force reports, but Judge Ellis noted that there were often inconsistencies between what appeared on tape from the officers’ body-worn cameras and what ended up in the written record, resulting in her deeming the reports unreliable.
More than that, though, she said at least one report was not even written by an officer. Instead, per her footnote, body camera footage revealed that an agent “asked ChatGPT to compile a narrative for a report based off of a brief sentence about an encounter and several images.” The officer reportedly submitted the output from ChatGPT as the report, despite the fact that it was provided with extremely limited information and likely filled in the rest with assumptions.
“To the extent that agents use ChatGPT to create their use of force reports, this further undermines their credibility and may explain the inaccuracy of these reports when viewed in light of the [body-worn camera] footage,” Ellis wrote in the footnote.
Per the Associated Press, it is unknown if the Department of Homeland Security has a clear policy regarding the use of generative AI tools to create reports. One would assume that, at the very least, it is far from best practice, considering generative AI will fill in gaps with completely fabricated information when it doesn’t have anything to draw from in its training data.
The DHS does have a dedicated page regarding the use of AI at the agency, and has deployed its own chatbot to help agents complete “day-to-day activities” after undergoing test runs with commercially available chatbots, including ChatGPT, but the footnote doesn’t indicate that the agency’s internal tool is what was used by the officer. It suggests the person filling out the report went to ChatGPT and uploaded the information to complete the report.
No wonder one expert told the Associated Press this is the “worst case scenario” for AI use by law enforcement.
This was an entirely illegal strike on people in distress who were no longer considered combatants in any way. This is a war crime ordered by Drunken Christian White Nationalist low ranking when got out of the military now head of the Department Of Defense. Hugs
Enjoy this sonnet, if you wish. The title above is the final line, which struck me as a fine personal mantra.
