What can I say? 50+ he/him who is into Fallout 76, sci-fi, horror, fantasy, indie pop, art, and science. Leans mostly left, because I believe in humanity. If you enjoy bad jokes, beauty, and being amazed, let’s roll! Oh, yeah, drop by fallout76er.com

I’ll settle for, “Ignore Trump”…

We can't definitively say a wild, uncontained agentic swarm isn't running right now. AI threats don't behave like legacy software. Not a virus. Just floods of ordinary API calls and generated code, all logged, all buried in the noise of millions of transactions. #AISafety #InfoSec #AI

Demand full accountability. Repost if you support total sanctions on Russian energy to cut off war funding. Let’s show DC where the people stand. #PeaceThroughStrength #Ukraine #USPol #Sanctions #Congress #ForeignPolicy #EnergySecurity #StopRussia #Bipartisan #Bluesky #Politics

You & I funded the creation of: • Chips (US Air Force & NASA, '50s) • Internet (DARPA, '60s) • GPS (Dept of Defense, '70s) #Elon, #Bezos, & #Zuckerberg could/would NEVER have funded that initial expense. They wouldn't even be known to us now without public seed money. #taxtakers not #taxpayers

I asked this question of AI: What are the 5 most important scientific unanswered questions? Equate importance with impact to everyday life. Restrict your answer to questions that we should know the answer to but do not. #AIQuestion #AIAnswer #sciencemysteries 1/7

Physics-informed ML is transforming weather science. Instead of relying on coarse empirical equations to guess how aerosols & tiny ice crystals behave, ML trained on ultra-high-resolution thermodynamics data can parameterize small-scale cloud physics for macro-scale weather & climate models. 6/7

ML interatomic potentials allow scientists to bridge quantum & classical mechanics. By training neural network potentials on quantum-accurate data, we can simulate interacting atoms at solid interfaces, calculating friction coefficients & wear rates directly rather than relying on empirical testing.

AI trained on physiological data, like high-density polysomnography, can contrast sleep physiological variations with systemic health. It can't image molecular waste-clearing processes in real time, but it can parse complex biometric data to map physiological thresholds where restoration fail. 4/7

Computational biology utilizes ML to parse cell transcriptomics, proteomics, & epigenetic data. AI algorithms can analyze simultaneous breakdown of genetic regulatory networks across aging tissues, identifying the exact biochemical tipping point where a cell shifts to irreversible senescence. 5/7

Response: What is the mechanism anesthesia causes reversible unconsciousness? How are cells restored during sleep? What is the point when cells become senescence or age? What are the mechanisms of cloud formation? What are the mechanisms that determinewear rates between solid interfaces? 2/7

AI is mapping how chemical compounds interact with membrane proteins. By predicting binding pockets & allosteric shifts across thousands of neural receptors simultaneously, Bypassing decades of trial & error to isolate the exact structural changes responsible for reversible unconsciousness. 3/7

In Earth, @davidbrin.bsky.social saw the end of privacy due to reciprocal transparency. Today, AI flips this to fear of synthesis. Privacy isn't just a shield against observation anymore—it’s perimeter defense for your identity. Thoughts? #AI #GenerativeAI #Privacy #CyberSecurity #SciFi #DeepFakes

Well worth the read!

Today only (and alas this time only kindle) you can complete the Uplift Storm Trilogy with HEAVEN'S REACH for just $1.99. Whole galaxies disrupted. Wildly varied aliens! And those mischievous dolphins... www.amazon.com/dp/B091YQ72Y...

Excited to take the fallout76er project over to YouTube! Expect deep-dive guides, creative C.A.M.P. showcases, and stories from Appalachia. #FO76 #Fallout #Fallout76 #YouTube Stop by, check out the channel, and say hi: www.youtube.com/@Fallout76er

youtube.comFallout76erField-tested guides, treasure map walkthroughs, and screenshots from Fallout 76 — the video companion to fallout76er.com, the Wasteland Archive. New treasure map guides posted regularly. More at http...

So, is a video guide with narration better than just an in-game capture? In the beginning, I used those type and found them frustrating due to the difficulty of orienting my game travel with the video travel. Give me your input, gamers!

New treasure map walkthrough: Cranberry Bog Map 02 — The Ranger Station Bridge Cache. The dig site sits under a bridge by the Ranger District Office, past a few Scorched and a Slasher mask detour. Full guide: fallout76er.com #Fallout76 #FO76

This is why we need strict campaign finance reform in place NOW. The Roberts court opened a floodgate of endless corporate dollars into our politics, and corporate "speech" dominates both parties.

We aren't programming #AI; we’re growing it. #DeepLearningModels are vast #blackboxes whose internal logic can't be read like standard code. Engineers don't know what a frontier model will actually do until they run it & observe results. The public needs to understand this reality. #BeAIAware 1/2

It doesn't matter if you're the smartest person on Earth, you can't predict an outcome purely from inputs. So when Trump says we don't need to slow down or regulate AI, we just need him, that's not confidence, it's a misunderstanding of the problem. This calls for slow and deliberate testing. 2/2

I’m not normally a huge detractor of SCOTUS, before today. I was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt on being in the pocket of a political ideology. No longer. 1/2 #SCOTUS #TimeForChange

Solution: a judicial Congress of law professors, circuit, & appealate judges from each state based on a points system. They can strike down a SCOTUS ruling as baseless or illformed only with a super majority. A majority of state AGs have to agree to bring a ruling in front of the JCOTUS. Rig that!

The Ghoul at The Last Resort swore Sludge Eye fish meat lets a sniper "see through the sludge to shoot!" Cooper's joke or gospel?

By comparing a rogue AI system to a defective physical consumer product, Huang reduces a massive political debate down to tort law & liability. He intentionally ignores that civil & criminal liability are far too late when damage is catastrophic. #JensenHuang #AIRegulation #CorporateGaslighting

The GATO PUB #Photober Challenge is almost upon us!! Thats right...this will be the 5th consecutive year...so get your in-game #PhotoMode ready...cause it starts in just under a week! #Fallout76 #SeaOfThieves #Halloween #VirtualPhotography Rules and prizes in the photo of course ;-)

Minerva's Emporium page now shows what she's selling, not just where: current and next plan lists with bullion prices. List 3 (Fort Atlas, Sep 28–30): Chinese Stealth Armor 3,000, Chicken Coop 563, T-65 Stealth Boy 563 and more. Big Sale List 4 follows Oct 8–12. #Fallout76 #FO76 fallout76er.com

Tobias is a super rad guy and wondrous author. He’s had a right bureaucratic nightmare and if you can help a wee bit, that would be awesome.

After being mauled by a lunatic, mini-clown, I decided to track them all down and, ahem, waste-land them. I figured other wanderers could benefit from my hours of hunting 'Slasher-kids'. #FO76 #Fallout #Fallout76 #slasher All 108 locations: fallout76er.com

Right now, a middle-class nurse pays a higher payroll tax rate than a highly-paid CEO. That's wrong. It's time to protect Social Security by scrapping the cap so higher-income earners and wealthy investors pay their fair share—preventing benefits cuts for everyone.

Every high-level language, compiler, and IDE was built to automate the tedious parts of engineering so we could focus on architecture. Rejecting AI as "not real coding" while standing on 50 years of abstraction makes no sense. It’s just another tool in the stack. #AI #Coding
