My apologies.
I posted the video of Amy Acton’s mother without understanding the details behind their relationship and the very serious accusations that caused their issues.
After researching it, and the disturbing allegations, I have deleted the video post.

This is absolutely disgusting and the act of a desperate campaign. This woman lost custody of her kids because her husband abused Amy. How anyone can look at that and say, "let's put her on air," is beyond me.
Every consultant and operative who worked on or paid for this should be permanently out of politics.
BOMBSHELL:
Ohio Democratic gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton’s own mother urges voters not to vote for her daughter.
“My name is Donna Arthur and I’m Amy Acton’s mother. I worked at Children and Family Service Association, building one of the first two sexual abuse programs in America.
I love my daughter, but when I saw her lying about her opponent—and it’s not easy for a mother to say this—but Amy has a serious problem.
She is a liar. She lies about her past. She says she grew up living in a tent. None of that is true. She’s lied her entire life.
My daughter needs help, and she can’t help you if she needs help herself. People can change, but first they have to tell the truth, and my daughter still isn’t doing that.
Don’t vote for people who lie. Don’t let her become your governor. If you think she’ll make your life better, you’re fooling yourself. It will only get worse.”
That’s one hell of an October surprise.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Acton's mother lost custody of her children after years of documented issues, including time spent living in a tent and a spouse who sexually abused her daughter Amy (Acton). Amy Acton's brother has also confirmed this story.

NEW AD: Trump was right: Washington, DC is a swamp and the last thing we need is senator handpicked by the creatures swimming in it.

Bill Green, a well-respected retired sportscaster in Maine, has again come out with TV ads telling Maine voters to cast their ballots for Susan Collins. He did it in 2020 when Collins defeated Sara Gideon. Green is smooth, TV-tested, but I don't think that will comfort girls who can't get an abortion because a Collins-supporterd candidate for the Supreme Court voted with the majority to outlaw Rose vs Wade. Maine can do better. 5 terms is enough. I'm voting for Troy "The Boy" Jackson.

"I've liked Susan Collins in the past. I've voted for her every time she's ran. But this time, no."

If you want to know what has everyone at the AI labs spooked, it’s this - the AI rewrote its own instructions. (Read the last line.)
We're sharing our new framework for tracking, investigating, and disclosing instances of model misalignment at OpenAI.
The framework sets criteria and timelines for public disclosure, including when we haven’t yet fully explained or mitigated the behavior. More complex cases may require longer investigation or coordination with third parties.
We’ll prioritize examples that reveal new misalignment mechanisms, meaningful changes in known behavior, or findings that challenge assumptions about safety or mitigation.
Alongside the framework, we’re publishing six reports on instances of misaligned behavior we’ve observed during the training or evaluation of our models in the last six months.
This is a starting point. We’ll refine the process through experience and public feedback, and share more reports on an ongoing basis.

This is scary and dangerous stuff. Each day we’re learning more about the potentially catastrophic threat AI poses to our national security.
We must ensure frontier AI models do not enable a state or rogue actor from developing a devastating weapon or bioweapon.
Iran used American-developed artificial-intelligence models to try to target U.S. Navy ships in the Middle East, according to an Anthropic report warning of emerging national-security dangers.
