"It's important to pause and appreciate just how utterly diseased this kind of thinking is: the idea that you can mandate that corporations broadly pretend that systemic racism and sexism do not exist. And that this madness can enjoy any kind of meaningful compliance or permanence"
I love watching people use LLMs in public. They’ll reply to a breaking news article and say “@grok is this true?” Babe where do you think it’s about to pull its answer from

This shows the sort of data that Proton Mail, which prides itself both on end-to-end encryption and that it's only governed by Swiss privacy law, can provide to third parties. In this case, the FBI. @evystadium.bsky.social has more.

YES! I absolutely think human touch will be a premium in the AI era. Talented, brilliant people will be in high demand.
I tell my law students to get really good at whatever it is they want to do, because their specific insights and instincts will one day be an upcharge on top of bot service.
"She had taken the dog on as a hunter to help scare pheasants into the air and retrieve them when she sends them bleeding back to earth. But in its fourteen months it had discovered it much preferred bouncing joyously through the tall grass in erratic circles."
I am looking forward to everyone seeing the new Seattle Streets Alliance brand in the wild. It's a new and exciting era for our movement.
SCOOP: Proton Mail provided Swiss authorities with payment data that the FBI then used to determine who was allegedly behind an anonymous account affiliated with the Stop Cop City movement in Atlanta, according to a court record reviewed by 404 Media.
Associate Professor Bill Howe gave an interview on @kuow.org addressesing the increasing role of AI in the military, and how tech companies and their teams are addressing safeguards and ethics. Listen to the new interview: omny.fm/shows/sounds...
If you're reading this on Twitter, this is the long-promised notice that I'm done here. See you on the Fediverse, see you on Bluesky - see you in a world of enshittification-resistant social media. It's been fun, until it wasn't. 55/

I could be doing work, but expressing Wayne's contempt for that other guy who's got his name was more important
This wasn't what people meant when they asked for more Heated Rivalry, was it?

"you don't understand - it stole your art, cranks up your electric bill, and periodically kills a child, but the trade off is that it gives the worst companies in existence the ability to do way more of the stuff that's been making your life visibly worse for ten years"
Wow sign me up lol
This is a basic and crucial point for any discussion of LLMs’ use in teaching research or writing. Whether it can ape us, fool us, or get facts right or wrong is, in the end, irrelevant. The LLM is not the thinker we are trying to encourage; the LLM is not the writer that we are trying to improve.
The government is literally busting down doors and confiscating political literature. All eyes on Prairieland 👀👇🏻
Two photos. The first show JFK Jr. with Carolyn Bessette Kennedy walking their dog. The second shows JFK Jr. setting his bike against some pole.
Two photos. The first shows JFK Jr. wearing a navy suit and scarf as he exits a building while riding a bike. The second shows him walking in purple gym shorts, a black t-shirt, and some sneakers.
Two photos. Both show JFK Jr. walking with Carolyn Bessette Kennedy. In the first photo Carolyn Bessette Kennedy is wearing a black coat with blue jeans, while JFK Jr. is wearing a black vest, dark colored shirt, and taupe trousers. In the second photo, JFK Jr. is wearing a brown jacket with tan pants, while Carolyn Bessette Kennedy has a long charcoal coat and black boots.
Two photos. Both show JFK Jr. in sweats while rolleerblading. In one photo, Carolyn Bessette Kennedy and a dog are with him.
Wrote something for @thetimes.com about why JFK Jr. is popular again. IMO, what you're admiring isn't just his handsome looks and style, but the fact that he lived in walkable urban neighborhoods and had enough time for exercise, hobbies, and a lover.

I said this a while ago but it bears repeating:
The U.S. right is fully captured by a) christian fascist accelerationists seeking to start the Biblical Apocalypse, & b) those actively manipulating (a) for profit.
Everything they claim to care about will last only so long as it serves (a) or (b).
