nominative determinism stay winning, this dude loves getting teabagged by the WH and can’t wait to tell you about the privilege it’s been
One you might find surprising. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt & members of her team have been extremely helpful in responding to questions I raise. Regardless of public facing commentary, privately they are willing to engage and address questions. And I have appreciated that. Thank you
wow that’s crazy man, they just give up information easily? you ever stop to wonder why that is? why their behavior in private differs from their ‘public facing commentary’ ??? never seen a stenographer so publicly proud of being duped

this could only have been posted by someone who has never had to help a senior who got tricked by a full-screen fake antivirus ad that feeds them into scam support calls. ad delivery networks are a huge security risk even if you’re good at the internet. not blocking is naive to the point of stupid
everyone — consumers, publishers, writers — would wind up better off if web browser ad-blockers didn't exist and the rationalizations for using one are mostly clever justifications for what's just selfish behavior with obvious negative social consequences.

you can cry directly into your monogrammed protest napkins about it. local expert finds political cause unexpectedly smothered by vanity tissue! news at 11
People here are being really shitty, including at fellow journalists who've been traumatized, and you will regret those posts. Or should. Also this does not help your political cause, whatever that might be.

Got tired of reading the news and getting mad. Feeding America backs 200+ food banks around the country and I've seeded with $500 for now. I'll match up to another $500 myself. Pass the hat, RTs graciously appreciated, etc.

we need a new microplastic to redirect all the lead to my balls. they may not be brass but it is my god given right to drag them on the floor
my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵) www.consumerreports.org/lead/protein...

Replying to @opinionhaver.bsky.social
they believe “criminal” is a kind of person you are, not a status contingent upon actions you take. J6 rioters going to jail was not an outrage because there are no laws they could break that would make them criminals, whilst innocence or guilt have no bearing on if others are criminals or not
we have already acquired several disparate tech capable of ending humankind. not overnight nor without effort, but certainly achievable with existing industry. LLMs by themselves are not apocalyptic, no. But suddenly obliterating consensus reality and verifiable truths? not a wow factor for life
AGI might be a great filter. LLMs ain't it.

I've been bedridden for the last 6 months, unable to work as I try to get a surgeon and insurance lined up for my operation to let me work again. If you could send a couple dollars, it'd really help. Time isn't on my side here, and waiting is very expensive. ko-fi.com/fooneturing

Almost 20 years ago I talked at Google about how privacy should be akin to a second amendment issue. Tl;dr given the scale of force available to the government, all the guns in the world are useless against an all-knowing tyrant and thus privacy is necessary for the security of a free state. Anyway:
