No more machine learning, only machine yearning. We are teaching computers how to love.

They added little flood barriers in the park, and someone adorned most of them with faces so they’re giant friendly park worms now

This is how I'm imagining all of my web crawling from now on.

Inspirational. Aspirational. I want all my papers to be like this.

for two months, I've been flying drones over Flock cameras to situation them in space and geography; I even got my commercial drone license in order to do it. I'd like to share this project with you all: it's called Records Of Enemy Surveillance: recordsofenemysurveillance.com

The US government has designated the Italian collective Autistici/Inventati, which produces the infrastructure of NoBlogs.org, a "Specially Designated Global Terrorist," freezing their assets and prohibiting all transactions with them——citing their "far-left" politics for justification.

I'll be at HOPE for the weekend -- say hi if you're around! 😄

Happy Zero Cool Day to all who celebrate #hackers

New: Police are being told to hide the fact that they're using Flock to pull people over and arrest them in both encounters with citizens but ALSO in their official police reports: www.404media.co/do-not-menti...

Have LLMs had a big impact in the Sovereign Citizen movement? They have a machine that can yield pseudo-law gibberish with citations and footnotes so much faster now. A cutting edge of bespoke legal theory.

People sleep on Telecomix but they were out here doing a lot of constructive work while “Anonymous” folks were busy trying to sell tshirts and mouthing off for clout on twitter.

Jurassic Park is a perfect franchise because the question "why would they keep doing this" is answered by simply asking yourself if you would want to go see a dinosaur. Of course you would want to see a dinosaur.

A “sperm data layer” by an AI company sounds extremely Boston. Missed opportunity to call it SperML, though.

One of my friends ranked everyone in his class in terms of how often they replied to other’s posts in the discussion forum, like chess so you get a higher Elo for replies from high Elo students. He tracked popularity over time to demonstrate how his takes had gotten worse as the semester progressed.

Please Use AI

A new trend I've noticed is *many* independent researchers asking for arXiv endorsement on Reddit. None of them share their drafts (until commenters demand it), just "here's my endorsement code, can you approve me for cs.SE / cs.AI?" I suspect that LLMs are encouraging this practice. Very strange.

Our statement on the UK gov't's demand that all content on all devices sold or used in the UK be scanned, on the presumption of nudity, using a dystopian combination of age verification & content scanning. This proposal will not safeguard children. It endangers us all. signal.org/blog/pdfs/20...

A dear friend is graduating soon, so it's time to learn to write a satisfying capital B to address their congratulation letter

Each time I pass this collapsed lamppost it’s disassembled just a bit more, parts missing or splayed out across the grass. It feels like decay, watching nature reclaim life, first with scavengers, then with fungus. All the human ants nibbling away at the lamppost carcass to support their colonies

Fashion may look more diverse today, but the ideal body type hasn’t changed in 25 years. A new PNAS study co-authored by NetSI PhD student @diesagar.bsky.social analyzed 793K+ fashion images and found diversity often comes through already-marginalized models. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

🚨❤️‼️ ATTENTION LOVERS ‼️❤️🚨 this idea has been floating around in my head for a very long time and i’ve finally turned it into something real :’) loveletter.pics lets you anonymously browse and share love letters. looking for submissions !! this art project will be even more fun w/ more to read.

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

To be very clear, I'm not trying to use the AI — I'm just trying to read the court documents. It's clear that the AI is programmed to replace offensive language. But what does that mean when it's being used to summarize historical documents? What happens when people rely on the summary?

Other documents from the same court case transforms "Robin a Negro" into "Robina Black." The handwriting is perfectly clear, but the AI is programmed to replace what it says with something it doesn't say.

heard a guy say "you have to access it through the portal" and i was momentarily struck by how sad it is that what he said is so boring :( "accessing it via the portal" should be wonderful. we deserve that at least. it should be cool to access it via the portal and instead it sucks shit
