You've heard of the alignment problem in AI? This is where it will really start to be an issue:

"Trump...is going on offense against 3 members of the Corporation 4 Public Broadcasting who have not left their posts"
"the "Gleichschaltung der Presse" (#Alignment of the media in the #ThirdReich) exercised by the #Gestapo + lifted to new levels by Xi through the Great Firewall of #China and the censorship department, has already begun happening in #Russia, #Hungary, and in the #US (#BillionaireMedia,) as well as elsewhere"
Too bad I can't join FSE this year. If you're there, checkout our work analyzing how language models for code try to avoid giving 'harmful' responses (re intellectual property, malware, and biases).
There is no #AI #alignment problem. There is a people & business alignment problem.
There is a willfull choice of routing all research into the most potentially destructive form of machine learning, because it gives the highest business incentives, not the best result.
The current approach will damage the environment, requires people to lose their privacy, for copyright to be cancelled, entry-level jobs to disappear, and further separate us to haves & have-nots.
And it won’t even deliver.
The Environment Protection Agency (#EPA) thinks #ClimateChange is not a problem. But it uses #AI that keeps saying it's dangerous.

...cow, you always go for the jugular of the biggest bully there. After subduing him, all others will fall into line.
It is the same strategy the #OrangePeril is pursuing with #NGO's: if he manages to bankrupt #Greenpeace, which other NGO will oppose him afterwards?

#Trump coming for #Harvard makes utter sense:
1) It is almost exactly how the #Nazis took over all branches of the #WeimarRepublic in the 1930's
2) All revolutionaries come for the university students, because they usually constitute the leaders for future opposition (e. g. #Mao, #Stalin,...)
Controlling #Education is indispensable:

After #Reagan successfully started with the dismantling of higher education for the not-well-to-do as part of #Reagonomics 2), the extremist part of #Republicans called #AmericaFirst in the 1930's and 40's, and now #MAGA are now going a step further by axing primary/2ndary ed., and the #Alignment (#Gleichschaltung) 3) of the #Education system through #MAGA-controlled state bodies.

Third: We eliminate the BS of traditional OKR "cascading."
Cascading OKRs down through the levels of an organization to the individual may sound good in theory, and sells a lot of OKR software, but in reality it burns a ton of time, effort, and overhead (and usually hurts the quality of the methodology adoption instead of helping it).
Instead, we focus on creating "best practice" OKRs at the top two levels of the org, then embrace a flexible bottoms-up approach from there.

True to one core strategy of #Project2025 1), President Trump will not be bogged down by the thousands and thousands of non-politically appointed feder-goverment employees.
As he cannot force them out (yet,) he is offering many of them a "Golden Handshake".
In this way, the Gleichschaltung ("#Alignment") of the federal administration, a strategy pioneered by the Third Reich...

#TikTok"s CEO will be at the inauguration of the first convicted-fellon president-elect, jointly with the fascist #TESCREAL #TechOligarch, #Elmo.
As you know from your history classes, what is the most important strategy in the rise of fascism?--The #Alignment of society (#Gleichschaltung.)
With #SuckerBerg having joined the #MAGA fray this week, the unholy alliance of them and the #fascist #Longtermist #Musk #TechBros, #TikTok is priceless for them.

When taking into account #visual #communication,
the online debate around #climate #change is characterized by the presence of #echo #chambers
with only a small fraction of content circulating among both climate activists and climate skeptics.
In cases where the same visual content circulates within the two groups,
the emotional reactions are often opposed,
with reactions that are more defined by the pre-existing climate #ideological #alignment
than with an actual engagement with the content.

No surprise, but it wasn't possible to get a full sponsoring directly from a vendor :( However, my beautiful friend Joseph (https://www.linkedin.com/in/josephcarnarius), with whom I shared many sleepless nights, in work, in stress, and in fun and games, decided to support our endeavors and sponsored a complete set of hardware!

I love “painkiller” key results: key results that are created because they quantify a problem in the business and show an aspiration to make measurable progress toward alleviating the pain of that problem.
