Just saw a Trump propaganda ad during the Ohio State game. Paid for by the US Government, a.k.a., you and me. So we’re just openly violating the Hatch Act now?

@rmondello.com What would need to happen to support Bluesky’s alphanumeric ABCDE-9WXYZ email two-factor codes with iOS Autofill? Is this something someone could contribute to the apple/password-manager-resources repository?

OpenAI is the next Enron, and not just the circular Nvidia deals, it’s accounting fraud all the way down

@sentientpotato.bsky.social Hey, I legitimately didn’t know what the concern with Platner was, I’m not familiar with the ME race. That question wasn’t me trying to be a jerk.

My wish for macOS 27 is official APIs for this type of agentic computer use. Right now the risks of unleashing an LLM on your file system are way too high, but enforcing some standards and guardrails would unlock incredibly useful workflows.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Guys, we did it. We invented the Commodore 64

@casten.house.gov Will you be supporting impeachment?

I created an Apple Shortcut for iPhone that lets you quickly generate accessibility alt text for images using Apple’s Private Cloud Compute model — it’s accurate & the prompt is based on Harvard’s alt text guide Download here: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/61a09e98865b48118b91334d1ae0ddb5

Mobile was the disruptive tech changing society for most of my career. I’ve loved building products for the supercomputer in your pocket. Now the industry’s passion and energy are spent transmuting human creativity and labor into an AI slop nightmare. And it’s a dead end. What’s next after this?

It’s widely known (and, I think, pretty uncontroversial) that learning requires effort — specifically, if you don’t have to work at getting the knowledge, it won’t stick. Even if an LLM could be trusted to give you correct information 100% of the time, it would be an inferior method of learning it.

My feeds across social media are polluted with AI slop. Virtually unusable. Makes me want to quit altogether. We’re seeing the end of the web as we know it, and maybe the death of the web in general. But I’d rather abandon new media than accept a post-truth world.

feels like we're living through some kind of cultural gas leak

i don’t think people on bluesky understand the severity of this situation. i woke up to literally hundreds of texts from friends and family thinking about either moving back home to india or applying to other countries for jobs. this includes me.

this exists it is called thinking

Wild, I left X because of antisemitism too. Mind you, that was a couple of years ago, I guess it just takes some people longer

🚨 Tesla posts a $400M profit, down 71% year-over-year. Revenue is down nearly $2B compared to the same time last year. Wow.

Tim Cook still the most effective Trump manager of them all

Republicans in Congress can end this any time

Boycotting the grocery store until they start buying an equivalent volume of groceries from me

This is the best automation I’ve set up in #Shortcuts. When I receive SMS spam, it automatically replies STOP to unsubscribe. Spreading the word here, as political fundraising texts seem to be picking up in the US. #SMSspam

School shootings and measles

Deleted my Threads profile today. Instagram is next. This capitulation in advance is despicable and cowardly.

Never seen Meta roll out new changes this quickly, they seem really excited about all this! www.404media.co/meta-deletes...

Cruelty is the point.

Y’all, I don’t understand why the unidentified drones in #NJ are not all that anyone is talking about. Just bananas that we have zero information. #uap #drones #wtf

It’s been nearly ten years of MAGA and they’re *just now* realizing this. I’ll never understand how these people just blocked the entire Access Hollywood thing out of their memory.

Which way progressives

🌠 My wife, trying to create a sense of magic for our three-year-old son: “Oh look, a shooting star! Do you think it’s a *wishing* star?” My son, obsessed with space and science: “No Mom, that’s a meteor.”

"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting. Everyone should reject it completely... they're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kind, and everyone should reject it. It's gross." - AOC
