HAPPENING NOW: 9th Circuit Oral Arguments on DOJ's lawsuit against California voters. DOJ is arguing that there is massive amounts of non-citizens voting, and the harm is irreparable because once the ballot is separated from its envelope, you can't trace it to the voter. 1/

This entire thread about AI

Jess Miers 🦝@jmiers230.bsky.social

I did a somewhat deep dive into the recent OpenAI and Anthropic "hacks" for an upcoming interview. IMO, the AI companies are better off running with the "rogue AI" story because the real story is actually pretty embarrassing. Like making your Wi-Fi password "wifi" embarrassing. 🧵

Children in prison: immoral

Rep. Sam Liccardo@liccardo.house.gov

Children at the Dilley Trailer Prison report unsafe water, a lack of basic medical care, moldy food, and months of detention. No child should suffer in ICE custody. I joined more than 110 colleagues demanding the Trump administration shut down Dilley and free these families.

All combat deaths matter

Today is World Cancer Survivors Day, and Wednesday will be my 1-year anniversary being NED (No Evidence of Disease). Getting cancer changed my life, but not all for the worse. I appreciate things I never did before. I love stronger and deeper. I choose kindness much more.

Again, pro tip for lawyers: try not do to anything that makes the judge recite this Robert Jackson quote in the opening paragraph of the opinion

Joining the chorus of people condeming antisemitic Texas candidate Maureen Galindo, who is calling for American Zionists to be imprisoned and worse. Not too far from what the Germans were doing
