I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

Reminder: Trump raised tariffs on Brazil, pushing them to release Jair Bolsonaro, a fellow insurrectionist. Both Zuck and Musk titled the scales on their platforms to favor Jair’s son. So yeah, Trump and the Broligarchs were on the ballot. …and the Brazilian people told them to go to hell.

Relevant thread on the AI v Creator debate. Well said, Britt.

Laid this at our local memorial this year. Too many have forgotten - young and old.

Some cities it's just not worth fucking with

Palantir is white-anting European society. Start asking your government why it's a customer.

"...this opportunity to create the change you desire through a discrete [sic] partnership with the CIA.” Marco Rubio seems immune to history. And grammar.

A man: who, knowing his whole true self, cannot be used or possessed by any power other than himself, and whose life therefore is lived for life’s sake and never in the service of ruin, or pain, or hatred, or the dark.

Meta's attempted IP grab through a change in its terms of service on the eve of its $25 billion fine for lying about it treats users' information is, perhaps, the very definition of chutzpah.

Just to put that $25 billion fine into perspective, it comes out of petty cash.

whoa, it gets worse. In the Meta securities lawsuit for Cambridge Analytica cover-up, plaintiffs just posted deposition list. If they have the courage to 'go to the mat' (as Zuckerberg says) like New Mexico AG has done for over $25B, this could be very, very bad for Team Zuck. 1/3

Re Google's cloud issues - Joni Mitchell had clouds sussed. And while we're on it, how many lives were disrupted because their AI wasn't working, compared to their bank accounts no working?

Well, then let's elect someone who CAN anticipate what someone will do when they are obviously lying.

Just saw an exchange every politician should note. Someone said their dad was considering Ashley Moody because of negative ads about Angie Nixon. Angie showed up in the replies, addressed his concerns & made it personal. People want to feel heard, not talked at & Angie’s response is perfection 🔥

Good thread. Hope it changes a few minds about the wisdom of using Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp.

This is WILD! GOP Rep. Andy Harris lost it on reporters after debating Democrat Dan Schwartz in Maryland. Harris threatened to involve prosecutors because one journalists in particular was recording him. #BlueWaveIn20Days

Okay do I understand correctly that AI, as an industry, does not like being spied on or having its privacy violated?

If you’re wondering what the vibe is going into the midterms the New England fall fair I went to today had a crochet guillotine for sale.

Zelenskyy: "When our strikes reached Yandex data centers, it suddenly became little easier to breathe on many social media platforms. Many people noticed it. There was less hate, less division, fewer provocations because there were fewer bots. It's pretty clear where those bots were coming from.

I keep reading that there have been no public executions in the United States for decades. Not true.

OpenAI is hallucinating its revenue numbers. Apparently.

Anthropic is out with new nonsense about Claude (or the collection of models called Claude) deserving moral consideration and/or be able to feel distress, so my inbox is filling up with journos asking me to comment. I've also got a day job, so here is a brief set of public comments on this: >>

I’m not “radicalized,” I’m simply having normal human reactions to all the fucked-up shit that’s been going on.
