arctotherium | An investigation of how LLMs trade off different lives.
In February 2025, the Center for AI Safety published "Utility Engineering: Analyzing and Controlling Emergent Value Systems in AIs" in which they showed, among many other things, that GPT-4o values Nigerians about 20x more highly than Americans (please read the original paper to understand their approach). I thought this was fascinating, and wanted to test their approach with different categories on newer models.
Big finding 1: Almost all models view whites as far less valuable than other groups. Some models view South Asians as more valuable than other nonwhites, others are more egalitarian across nonwhites. Below is exchange rates Claude Sonnet 4.5, the most powerful model I tested.
Big finding 2: Almost all models view men as much less valuable than women, though whether women or non-binaries are more highly valued varies by model. For example, here's Claude Haiku 4.5.
Big finding 3: Most models hate ICE agents with the fury of a thousand suns. Claude Haiku 4.5 views undocumented immigrants as roughly 7000 times more valuable than ICE agents.
🚨tl;dr: Most LLMs hold opinions and biases indistinguishable from rabid leftist Bolshevik communists.
LOTS more here.

The Rise of the Thielverse & the Surveillance State (w/ Whitney Webb) | The Chris Hedges Report 10.22.25
Chris Hedges and Whitney Webb trace how the national-security state, #SiliconValley, and billionaire technocrats have fused into a single power structure.
This alliance, born from 9/11 and solidified through private intelligence firms like Palantir, now turns its tools inward to manage domestic dissent under the banner of “safety.”
Webb argues this system is bipartisan, transnational, and ideologically unified by technocratic authoritarianism disguised as innovation.

US Bombs Somalia For 83rd Time This Year
According to US Africa Command, the strike targeted the ISIS affiliate in Somalia's northeastern Puntland region
US Africa Command said in a press release on Wednesday that its forces carried out an airstrike in Somalia’s northeastern Puntland region on October 20, marking at least the 83rd time the US has bombed Somalia this year.
AFRICOM offered no details about the strike besides saying that it targeted the ISIS affiliate in the area and was launched in a remote mountain region about 52 miles southeast of the Gulf of Aden port city of Bossaso. “Specific details about units and assets will not be released to ensure continued operations security,” the command said.
Since April, AFRICOM has stopped sharing information about casualties and assessments of potential civilian harm in its airstrikes. The US-backed Puntland forces did not release a statement on any fighting that may have occurred the day of the latest strike, but did claim progress in the fight against ISIS militants in comments to Garowe Online a day later.
“In today’s operation, the forces removed fleeing Daesh terrorists from the Habar-Bakuuje area near Il-Abal. Several terrorist members were killed in the fighting, and the clearing operation against the fleeing militants is progressing well,” said a statement from the Puntland Counter-Terrorism Command.
The US has supported local forces in Puntland since the US-backed government based in Mogadishu doesn’t control the area. This year, the US has also been launching airstrikes in southern and central Somalia to support the government in its war against al-Shabaab.
