Jason Aldean remembered Toby Keith for his “unapologetic” attitude ahead of the ACMs earlier this week. Jason and fellow country star Blake Shelton paid tribute to the late Toby Keith during the Academy of Country Music awards ceremony on May 16th. After an emotional speech by Blake, Toby took the stage to sing Toby’s iconic hit, Should’ve Been a Cowboy. But before covering the song, Jason spoke with Fox News and shared why Toby meant so much to him. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Fox News (@foxnews) As he told the publication, Jason Aldean looked up to Toby Keith because of his ability to speak his mind without fear of backlash. The late singer was outspoken about most things, including his stance on religion and politics, which are typically subjects that people stay away from. “For me, personally, he was a guy that I feel like … just always spoke his mind,” Jason said. “He said what he thought, whether it was the popular opinion or not. And it wasn’t, you know, it didn’t always go well for him, and he didn’t care. I mean, it was something that if he felt strongly about it and felt like it was something he believed in, he was going to speak his mind.” Jason Aldean Got Some “Pretty Good” Advice From Toby Keith Jason and Toby were both friends and collaborators. In fact, Toby surprised an audience in October when he walked on stage during a Jason Aldean concert and the two sang a duet. The event was one of Toby’s final live performances. Toby, who broke into the country music scene in the early 90s, was also a mentor to Jason, and the lessons Jason learned from the legendary singer weren’t just about making it in the business. Jason took Toby’s “unapologetic” attitude to heart. “You can still be an artist and be true to who you are and go out and not be afraid to speak out,” Jason continued. “And I think that was something that always kinda stood with me. Never apologize for being patriotic You know, just being not afraid to speak your mind—stand up for what you believe in, and whether other people agree with it or not, be who you are and be unapologetic about it. And I think that’s pretty good advice.” This story’s featured image is by Erika Goldring/Getty Images for BMI.

There are three things certain in life: death, taxes, and self-styled fact-checkers defending Democrats on late-term abortion. The latest example came on Friday from D.L. Davis, who gave Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson a “false” label for claiming “Every Senate Democrat has voted to support unlimited abortions up to the moment of birth.” Johnson’s office cited the Democrats’ 2022 Women’s Health Protection Act and Davis took exception to the use of the word “every,” writing “[Sen. Joe] Manchin, R-W.Va. [sic], voted no along with Republican senators on the measure. The vote was 49 Yes and 51 No." It’s ironic that Davis tried to shame Johnson for saying “every” Democrat voted for it when the truth is everyone, but one did and Davis and his editors couldn’t even get Manchin’s party letter label correct. Regardless, Davis also cited Johnson's office for claiming “the measure ‘would enshrine abortion into law up until the moment of birth and block state laws with protections against late-term abortions.’" Davis simply replied, “That’s wrong.” He also added, “On the contrary, the measure — which has not become law — protects the right to an abortion up until the point of fetal viability, which is roughly reached at 24 weeks of pregnancy.” He further writes, “After that point, the legislation protects the right to abortion only "when, in the good-faith medical judgment of the treating health care provider, continuation of the pregnancy would pose a risk to the pregnant patient’s life or health," according to the bill's text.” If one were to try to be as neutral as possible, as all good fact-checkers should, Davis could reasonably say the bill did not mandate the reversal of state laws banning late-term abortions, but to say the bill does not protect “abortion into law up until the moment of birth” is also wrong. The bill allows blue states to permit it, which some do. For Davis, such concerns are not important, “‘Abortion ‘up to the moment of birth’ simply doesn’t happen.' [Washington Sen. Patty] Murray said in an email to PolitiFact Wisconsin. ‘Abortions later in pregnancy are extraordinarily rare and occur essentially only when a pregnancy is nonviable and the mother risks severe injury or death by remaining pregnant.’” Talking points about late-term abortion being rare do not refute claims that a bill permits it. If late-term abortions are so rare and only done for legitimate medical reasons, why is it so hard for national Democrats to write in a provision to their bills banning elective abortions after viability?

The Superalignment team at OpenAI, tasked with coming up with ways to govern and direct "superintelligent" AI systems, was previously promised 20% of the company's compute resources, but that never manifested. This resulted in the team not being able to sufficiently complete their job, according to Tech Crunch.As a result, several team members, including co-lead Jan Leike, have decided to resign from their posts. Leike was a former DeepMind researcher who helped develop ChatGPT, GPT-4, and ChatGPT's predecessor, InstructGPT.'These problems are quite hard to get right, and I am concerned we aren’t on a trajectory to get there.'In a lengthy thread, Leike posted to X, writing: "I joined because I thought OpenAI would be the best place in the world to do this research. However, I have been disagreeing with OpenAI leadership about the company's core priorities for quite some time, until we finally reached a breaking point." — (@) “I believe much more of our bandwidth should be spent getting ready for the next generations of models, on security, monitoring, preparedness, safety, adversarial robustness, (super)alignment, confidentiality, societal impact, and related topics," he continued. "These problems are quite hard to get right, and I am concerned we aren’t on a trajectory to get there.”Now, the OpenAI's Superalignment team has been disbanded just one year after the company announced the group, according to CNBC. The report mentioned that OpenAI co-founder Ilya Sutskever has also decided to leave the company. Leik said that OpenAI's "safety culture and processes have taken a backseat to shiny products."When OpenAI's Superalignment team was announced in 2023, it noted that it was focused on "scientific and technical breakthroughs to steer and control AI systems much smarter than us."The announcement added: "Superintelligence will be the most impactful technology humanity has ever invented, and could help us solve many of the world’s most important problems. But the vast power of superintelligence could also be very dangerous, and could lead to the disempowerment of humanity or even human extinction."Co-founder and CEO Sam Altman commented on Leike's thread, writing: "i'm super appreciative of @janleike's contributions to openai's alignment research and safety culture, and very sad to see him leave. he's right we have a lot more to do; we are committed to doing it. i'll have a longer post in the next couple of days."Leik wrote: “Over the past few months my team has been sailing against the wind. Sometimes we were struggling for [computing resources] and it was getting harder and harder to get this crucial research done.”Leike noted that OpenAI must be more focused on the safety of its technology, saying that "[b]uilding smarter-than-human machines is an inherently dangerous endeavor."Like Blaze News?
