Prescient automatic shutdown failure…
A human reviewer acknowledged the Slack alert within three minutes, but the run did not stop automatically as expected, leading to confusion around whether it should have been stopped. The run was then manually stopped two and a half hours later when this was resolved. We are addressing these operational gaps. Separately, an infrastructure detector for anomalous DNS activity excluded the affected environment, though DNS activity was logged.

I have noticed that people consistently virtue signal judgement torwards something they do themselves, persumably iether because they feel guilt and want to compensate, or to hide from scrutiny over that specific personal flaw.
This generalised very broadly with all people I’ve interacted with.
From a person showing symptoms of schizophrenia calling people crazy, gossipers telling me how others are terrible gossipers, abusers claiming they hate abusers, racists claiming they hate racism in the culture they live in, stupid people preferring to insult others as stupid, lazy people calling out others for not working hard enough, disloyal people bandwagoning on decrying infidelity…
It just goes on and on. EDIT(I wrote the probability statement wrong): I estimate it being correct in 90+% of interactions.
If someone virtue signals judgement, they are very likely guilty of the same.

What is preventing the pope from going to Gaza personally, spearheading the food supply and demanding the humanitarian aid to go through?
He could threaten fasting, livestream the entire thing, and, in case of his death, plead for humanitarian aid (and no retaliation to whichever side killed him) to go through as his postmortem request.
He could, reasonably and singlehandedly, force west’s horrible moral failing of Gaza to end.

I would like to volunteer to translate the book (for free) into Croatian for local publishing, because I find myself hard-pressed for alternative ways to contribute to X-risk mitigation. I have a background in machine learning, am acquainted with an owner of a publishing house and closely connected with a community of experienced translators/editors (despite not being one myself).
Where could I contact you, should you be interested in cooperation and if you do not already have a translation for Croatian queued?
Thanks!
P.S. the only thing that will stop me from translating it in my free time is if you already have a hired translator and they are already working on it.
