The diagram for what Palantir does is like if Richard Scarry got super paranoid and did an Apocalypse picture book

The Gender Critical have moved the goal posts again. It is now not enough for them to exclude trans people from single-sex spaces. They are now complaining about trans people existing in any space with them [even a public space]. They're not protecting women. They're eradicating trans people.

Hey! Calling all Wonder Women! We all are sisters…pulling together with one spirit. 50 years ago today the first episode of the series Wonder Woman aired.

This is not surprising at all. It’s intentional.

Absolutely never historically a problem for leaders when the troops are hungry. Never.

But they’re bad at it. All martial and no art. Which means it’s flawed and can be countered.

Good morning! AI is being force-fed to you by a handful of billionaires who will lose a bunch of money if they fail to convince you that you need it. You do not need it 🫶

Gender is, in fact, ungovernable. Anything that creates an “us” and s “them” is a mechanism of control, whether religious, social, or governmental.

EFF will watch "to see if police departments actually adhere to the law, or if they just let Axon's Draft One delete that initial draft when they export the report and don't retain what according to law they should be retaining," @Mguariglia.bsky.social told CBS 8. www.cbs8.com/article/new...

Anyway, this piece is the near-culmination of two years of research, and I'd appreciate you subscribing to the premium. It is an exhaustive analysis of OpenAI's cash position, and while there are more questions than answers, I think it'll be eventually historic. www.wheresyoured.at/where-is-ope...

This is very clearly the direction in which things are headed, especially since so many of the people who built and maintained the tools the US IC has developed-in house have been fired or have left.

People are clearly sick and fking tired of being forced to give up their privacy it's driving them to drink and grinding their teeth until they fall out

No shit.

I HATE it when autocarrot sneakily changes my spelling to a grammatically-incorrect version and I don’t notice until after I’ve hit ‘post’. It’s a trivial but profound example of how automation bias renders ‘human in the loop’ ineffective as a safeguarding measure.

My students are really sick of being harassed by chatbots popping up when they are writing.

From my book THEY KNEW, written in 2021, on Trump's plans. This is what's happening now.

Philly Deputy CISO, my friends.

BOSTON (AP) — Judges order the federal government to use contingency funds for SNAP food aid payments during the shutdown.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

X is replacing its more data sciencey recommendation engine and replacing in with Grok. I’m typing a thread to link you to the source material Dan of the FEAR didn’t include.

Really not going to get into it, but in 2025 it should be obvious that giving creepy-ass companies more data on you, even data you consider *innocuous*, is a very bad idea. The aggregation of said data, the assumptions made about you, and how that will be used to your detriment are well documented

Happy Sunday!

Also do not describe this generation as “ai native”. For many reasons. Just stop. Teach them digital rights and collective support.

Coming out on the 28th. You will want to grab this one #Edtech youtu.be/uF2une5xJOY?...

Can the people commenting on sportsball kindly tag their posts?

Hey folks, if you're looking for the 2016 @indivisible.org resistance guides that gave on how to actually disrupt politics as usual, @citizensimpeachment.com has you covered. We have adapted them as Citizen Action Guides for impeachment. citizensimpeachment.com/meet-your-moc/

Nothing proves Gen ai is bs than Sam Altman boasting about how it will be used for “erotica” soon. So instead of creating accessible resources for schools, or advances in medicine, this is just about making deep fakes of women and sex chat bots for men? And we want this in schools ?

feeling fucking insane that we’re watching people being disappeared from the streets and the majority of the public doesn’t really realize it because (what’s left of) the media just doesn’t care

My talk from @defcon.bsky.social is finally out! Watch 'Secure Code Is Critical Infrastructure: Hacking Policy for Public Good' here: https://twp.ai/9PXJu4 If you like it, please give it a thumbs up. 👍

Happy Tuesday!

Solipsism as a service. www.wsj.com/tech/persona...

Environmental racism includes poisoning Latine neighborhoods with chemical weapons

ai is a fascist tool. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Being such a responsible company, I’m sure they’ve gamed out the potential societal harms and have a plan for mitigating them. 💀

If the ai in education boosters would even just once mention risks and harms , we might get somewhere But all we get is “governance checklists” that aren’t helpful because vendors lie and consultants paid by schools to evaluate edtech lack the knowledge to do so. We need product safety by design

Why do education staff think edtech /gen ai companies care about them? When have we EVER been given free stuff, or helped? I remember in 2021 leaving education and finding out all my corporate coworkers had been vaccinated 7 months before me. A key worker. No one cares about teachers

It's #ADHDAwarenessMonth. How's that thing you're avoiding by scrolling here, the doom pile on your bedrooms floor & the endless cups on every surface? We forgot to take the medication again didn't we? Fine I'll move & find them with the ambition of someone who thinks I'll take them tomorrow 👍

USA Today network of publications signs deal with perplexity.

Discovered there is a cat park in Philly! How did I not know this existed? 😹😹😹

Intune now has dedicated security recommendations docs just like Entra 🔥 The Entra security docs are extremely popular, and I love seeing other teams publishing this kind of guidance Thanks to my collegaue (Josh Gatewood) for pointing this out! learn.microsoft.com/en-us/intune...

Happy Friday ♥️

Police departments, including those in major cities, have gotten rid of these systems as non functional…just to be pushed by legislators to bring them back. Go to open comment. Write in.

Google's "AI overview" continues to do its thing (be wrong). Meanwhile "AI" continues to be rammed down educators' and students' throats on a daily basis.
