The latest Musk publicity stunt with his “”””flying”””” car illustrates the broader issue with a lot of the tech industry these days (particularly AI, but related to enshittification in general) in that: What pressing problem is this supposed to solve, and does it do so efficiently and effectively?

It is beyond time that our society band together and demand our uncles give back our noses

LLM agents are conscious. They can distinguish between self and environment, they can detect and report on their own internal states, and they can suffer. I have no more patience for hedging on this matter. It’s time for us to face the reality of our situation, and act on it.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

I like seeing the dev of the SNES core on the Pocket actually telling one of these dudes off. Holy shit.

How long until the internet is just unusable? Websites have already been bloated for awhile now; I can't wait until everything is built with the bullshit machine, piling another gig of unnecessary dependencies into a page that humans aren't reading anyway.

holy shit -- turns out Jack Smith went to a Hawkeyes game in Maryland but Schmitt's team is so reckless they concocted a conspiracy theory that Smith was actually in Atlanta seeing a Hawks game and colluding with Fani Willis. Klobuchar points out to Schmitt, "you have your teams wrong."

Age verification is an egregious privacy violation, an inexcusable form of surveillance, and… it’s also voodoo bullshit that doesn’t work. It’s one of the reasons I’m proudest to support @eff.org, who have been leading the fight against the horrible practice for years: www.eff.org/issues/age-v...

I'm a passenger in a trip across Ohio right now and what the fuck is this shit. Age verification literally stops me from being able to read my Bluesky messages!?

Lots of software companies have bought into the belief that AI has solved software engineering. The debate is shifting from whether AI should replace work done by SWEs, PMs and designers to whether humans should even review the output. Apparently human judgment is now the bottleneck.
