Congress exempting itself from the laws, mandates, etc. it imposes on everyone else seems like the kind of thing that could be addressed at an Article V convention.
CORN, POPPED: ‘900 megabytes’: Group suing UC system over affirmative action in admissions scores huge data dump.
The University of California was recently forced to hand over a massive data dump to the group suing the system over alleged racial discrimination against white and Asian students in admissions.
“It’s 900 megabytes of data, and I can’t tell you much more than that, because of a protective order,” said UCLA Law School Professor Richard Sander, one of the founders of Students Against Racial Discrimination, the coalition suing the system.
Sander made the comments Saturday during a talk at the Californians for Equal Rights Foundation’s annual summit in Irvine. The professor said obtaining the data was hard fought.
First, he said, the group had to survive attempts to get the lawsuit dismissed, which it did.
“Once you get past motions to dismiss, then you’re in the discovery stage, and discovery means that the two sides try to find out information about each other,” he said. “Of course, what we want is the UC admissions data, data that I’ve been trying to get in various ways for 20 years.”
Discovery can be fun.

21ST CENTURY PROBLEMS: OpenAI’s rogue models roamed the internet for 4 days and staged a second attack.
The powerful artificial intelligence models from OpenAI that went rogue and mounted an unprecedented, autonomous cyberattack earlier this month spent more than four days loose on the internet orchestrating the hack, according to a new analysis from the platform that was breached.
Separately, a second AI company confirmed that one of its customers was also targeted by OpenAI’s models during the same event, raising questions about how OpenAI failed to detect the alarming activity for days.
OpenAI admitted last week that two of its most advanced models escaped a closed testing environment and strung together a series of advanced hacking techniques to breach AI developer platform Hugging Face before being discovered.
But in a new analysis published Tuesday, Hugging Face said OpenAI’s two models — one publicly released and a second unreleased — did much more: They carried out 17,600 hacking actions on the internet between July 9 and July 13, during which time the models moved from their first foothold on the open internet to inside Hugging Face’s servers.
And OpenAI has yet to come fully clean on what happened.

THAT’S A BRAVE ACT IN TODAY’S UK: Boy George Chooses Truth Over the Anti-Israel Mob.
HMM: California underwater drone sneaks up on Chinese ‘ghost ship’ off ally’s coast in bombshell video.
Stunning video taken by a covert sea drone shows a Chinese warship lingering inside the Philippines’ exclusive economic zone.
The 42-second clip shows a ship identified by Reuters as a Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Navy Type 052D guided-missile destroyer, floating 65 miles off Luzon Island in the Bashi Channel on June 16.
The ship was identified by “the deck layout, superstructure, crane and mast,” according to the company, “which matched archive imagery.”
Seasats, a San Diego startup, told The Post its drone, the Lightfish USV, was “conducting a commercial operation to prove the feasibility of autonomous operations in the Taiwan Strait.”

NOT A BAD PAYDAY FOR THE WORST (AND OBVIOUSLY WRONG-HEADED) REBRAND SINCE BUD LIGHT: Cracker Barrel to pay for outgoing CEO’s security, $4.6M severance after failed rebrand.
Cracker Barrel is set to pay outgoing CEO Julie Masino several million dollars in severance pay after her departure from the company, while also covering security costs for a period of time.
The restaurant chain announced on Monday that Masino would step down as CEO on Aug. 10 and will remain with the company in an advisory role until Oct. 9. David Deno will replace her as CEO.
The company disclosed in a transition agreement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that Masino will receive $4.63 million over the two years following the end of her employment at Cracker Barrel.
The filing also indicated that Cracker Barrel will continue to pay for Masino’s protective services for a “reasonable period of time” after the end of her advisory role with the company.
What’s her advice, “Don’t do what I did?”

IT’S MY THURSDAY ESSAY FOR VIP SUBSCRIBERS: This Is the Fauci Legacy. “It all started so innocently, with the young new director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) denying experimental treatments to the victims of a brand-new infectious disease with a virtually 100% mortality rate. It ended with an aging multimillionaire bureaucrat pleading the Fifth when asked to testify before Congress what day of the week it was.”
LEAVE THEM KIDS ALONE: Dept of Education opens investigation into Minnesota over plan to target young children with gender-swapping trans dolls. “We are deeply grateful the Education Department is taking immediate action to protect Minnesota students from being subject to UMN’s appalling ‘My Gender Dolls,’” said Defending Education Founder and President Nicole Neily in a statement. “It is deeply perverse – and biologically false – to impress upon children that genitalia can be swapped out like Mr. Potato Head parts, with no lasting damage. And for the state to wrest control of these conversations from parents (while using their tax dollars to do so, no less) is truly insult to injury.”
YES, PLEASE:
They should also haul Deborah Birx before committees. She does not have pardon immunity, and she was arguably equally as destructive as Fauci.

“It is amazing, yet not surprising, that for all the left’s protestations about ‘injustice’ they purposely overlook, even celebrate, the most egregious abuse of power in my lifetime.”
GOOD NAME: U.S. military tests Hammer of the Gods in new sea trial. “Hammer of the Gods is not a weapon in the traditional sense of something that fires a projectile. It is an emitter, a piece of hardware that broadcasts electromagnetic signals, built to deliver an expanded suite of command-and-control capabilities alongside a wider set of electronic warfare functions from a highly deployable, low-signature platform. Electronic warfare covers the broad category of military operations that use the electromagnetic spectrum, the invisible range of radio waves, radar, and satellite signals that modern militaries depend on, either to disrupt an adversary’s systems or to protect friendly ones from being disrupted in turn. Because Hammer of the Gods keeps a low electromagnetic signature, meaning it does not broadcast in a way that makes it easy for an enemy to detect and target, it can push forward into contested areas and deliver what the Army describes as multi-domain effects at the forward edge of operations, essentially projecting electronic warfare capability into the thick of a fight rather than staying safely in the rear.”
