Chief Justice John Roberts has more than once said the court is working on an ethics code for itself, but so far, crickets. Meanwhile, investigative reporters are finding that Supreme Court conduct is rich ground to plow. Last week, ProPublica reported that Justice Samuel Alito failed to disclose that he had enjoyed an all-expenses-paid, high-end fishing trip to Alaska, complete with private jet travel, courtesy of hedge fund titan Paul Singer, a major Republican donor, who has been involved in 10 appeals to the Supreme Court. Instead of responding to ProPublica's written questions, Alito did something no justice before him has done. He defended his conduct in ...

This is a linkpost for https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-02094-7 Overall, a headline that seems counterproductive and needlessly divisive. I worry very much that coverage like this has the potential to bring political polarization to AI risk and it would be extremely damaging for the prospect of regulation if one side of the US Congress/Senate decided AI risk was something only their outgroup is concerned about, for nefarious reasons.  but in the spirit of charity, here are perhaps the strongest points of a weak article: the spectre of AI as an all-powerful machine fuels competition between nations to develop AI so that they can benefit from and control it. This works to the advantage of tech firms: it encourages investment and weakens arguments for regulating the industry. An actual arms race to produce next-generation AI-powered military technology is already under way, increasing the risk of catastrophic conflict and governments must establish appropriate lega...

However, Benson has learned to set his own boundar...

The guitarist and founding member of the heavy metal band, 72, claims his exit from Mötley Crüe last year was involuntary. “When they wanted to get high and f— everything up, I covered for them,” Mars told Rolling Stone . “Now they’re trying to take my legacy away, my part of Mötley Crüe, my ownership of the name, the brand.” The guitarist and founding member of the heavy metal band, 72, claims his exit from Mötley Crüe last year was involuntary. Getty Images “How can you fire Mr. Heinz from Heinz ketchup? He owns it. Frank Sinatra’s or Jimi Hendrix’s legacy goes on forever, and their heirs continue to profit from it. They’re trying to take that away from me. I’m not going to let them,” the rocker added.
