A critical part of OpenAI’s safeguarding process is “red teaming” — a structured methodology using both human and AI participants to explore potential risks and vulnerabilities in new systems. Historically, OpenAI has engaged in red teaming efforts predominantly through manual testing, which involves individuals probing for weaknesses. This was notably employed during the testing of […]
Now, “Bonhoeffer” is the latest of their films to receive backlash. The Bonhoeffer family came out and denounced it as a “history-distorting biopic, which turns Bonhoeffer into an evangelical saint.” The Christianity Today review by Myles Wertz calls their version of Bonhoeffer “an empty container into which our own desires — in this case, desires […]

In the U.K, there was a 15% increase in incidents compared to 2022, with some 700 cases reported. Several of these were against converts from Islam, including Javed Nouri, who narrowly survived an attempted murder by his roommate, who believed he “deserved to die.” Germany witnessed a much more dramatic increase of 105%, with 227 […]
