Thanks to many great suggestions, my #InternetLaw starter pack is getting better. Please keep the suggestions coming! If you are suggesting yourself and you are white, cisgender male & from the US or Canada (like me) please consider also suggesting someone else who is not. go.bsky.app/HAjFEKn

It’s DAF Day! Learn how you can use a donor-advised fund to help ensure that technology remains a force for freedom, innovation, and human rights. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

"For all the talk of “AI Safety” risk these days, the most present real risks remain variations on the theme of “humans doing stupid shit”." -- @masnick.com & @dwillner.bsky.social www.techdirt.com/2026/09/21/t...

Extremely thrilled to have @amac0.bsky.social joining me and my colleagues on the @eff.org Board! Alex's combination of industry, government and non-profit experience will be a huge benefit to the organization as it writes its next chapter. www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

Court calls bullshit on Marco Rubio blocking visas for those who study disinformation or work in trust & safety. It finds that while MAGA people claim trust & safety is "censorship by another name" it's actually the State Dept engaging in 1A violations storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Sad to hear about the passing of @om.co. He was a wonderful person to be around, and it was a privilege to share this little Valley with him. My inbox won't be the same without his insightful, clear words but his photos were a lens into the beauty he found in life. RIP friend. om.co/2021/11/09/t...

Beyond "thanks", my first comment: "Perhaps LLMs would have allowed finer-grained determinations... Rule-based algorithms struggle with that[...]" Yes, and: new key role for PC is to know how+when to adjust that line. "we used LLM for X"->"did you consider pre-screening X with deterministic rules?"

"Testing and Evaluation" this is all very good. The only thing I might add is that there's now the potential for *continuous* testing of legal concepts. CI/CD became best practice in the industry for good reason. What does it mean to integrate containerized legal knowledge into CI/CD?

AI is changing how products behave and how they are built. Product lawyering has to change too. Here's my attempt to describe how. I'd love to hear if this rings true to folks who are still product counseling. www.bricoleur.org/2026/06/prod...

If you are considering a lens for Safari, I'm a big fan of the new NIKKOR Z 70-200mm. More photos at share.google/mikgGTfYqJAK...

My current AI codegen setup www.bricoleur.org/2026/05/my-c... What am I doing wrong? What's your setup?

"The AI Race Isn't Real" by @mtokson.bsky.social and Yonathan Arbel argues that the "race" metaphor in AI is neither a good description nor helpful. Good article, worth a read. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

Enjoyed Bill Gurley's Runnin' Down a Dream. Non-conformity pushes are always good. I'd add: Have the same calculus when you get to your dream, don't then run away from it up the ladder. Too many folks take promotions that replace what they love with management. uk.bookshop.org/p/books/runn...

Am a little late to this but @eff.org's Cindy Cohn's memoir is wonderful. A great description of a fight well fought and a life well lived. bookshop.org/p/books/priv...

Made a bot that posts an old "Suck.com" article every day. It tries to use one related to today's news. Follow it at @barrelofsuck.bsky.social Read about it www.bricoleur.org/2026/01/fina...

As you may have heard, there’s an important birthday this weekend. We can only hope that people across the nation — nay, the globe — engage in tribute and fanfare proportional to the occasion. 1/

Quick blog post about a tool I wrote* to help understand Claude Code sessions. www.bricoleur.org/2025/05/unde... *mostly this was guiding o3 and Claude Sonnet 4.

The narrative that #AI will do all routine and we can just focus on important/strategic/big picture things works because it tell us that we are oh so smart and special. WE DO THE BIG STUFF. Newsflash: If your big picture decisions are not grounded in real experience they are gonna end up bullshit.

Claude Code logs a bunch of stuff via jsonl. The logs are a little hard to read, so I made a rough and ready parser that can also show git commits in the log timeline: github.com/amac0/Claude... All coded via LLM, mostly o3 & when o3 had trouble, switched to Claude 4 Sonnet (in Claude Code).

Saw An Oak Tree last night at the Young Vic. Most unusual play I've seen in a while and I don't really know what to think of it -- which I'm enjoying a lot. Anyhow, I'd recommend it if you get a chance to see it. www.timeout.com/london/theat...

Am angry and sad about this: www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202... Carla Hayden is a wonderful public servant and has been a great Librarian of Congress.
