I have given exactly one (1) interview as EFF ever, it was about AI, talked for ~20 mins about the nuance and complexity of things, and the editors chose a single sentence that basically boils down to "AI is great!" 🎈

good news about all of those exploits mythos is finding: it's just a hallucination machine and they cannot, by definition, work. It's just the TESCREAL cult lying to us because they are dedicated to boiling off all the oceans using H100s.

i was listening to a podcast for fun and at some point i thought “that’s a Brady violation” and i feel like I shouldn’t know this, as a civilian.

'All you had to do was pay us enough to live. There goes your inventory': video shows employee setting fire to Kimberly Clark warehouse in Southern California, destroying it completely

I must one day write what it means to run internal tech for a Privacy First non-profit, that also happens to be a law firm, and an entire editorial and campaigning operation, but also manages to ship open source consumer software, with a very limited budget.

yes, EFF is leaving X and yet there are still X buttons on the website. you've caught us.

i’ve stayed awake for as long as possible but now i need to go to sleep immediately, due to the time difference (it’s 1 hour)

hell yeah i’m in the United States (ill advised)

De entre todos los presidentes que ha tenido Estados Unidos —y mira que los ha tenido malos—, creo que el peor de todos es Netanyahu.

listen i would love to be excommunicated too but threatening the papacy is a bit much. my aunts would not have it.

ok but how interesting would it be if they chose to touch this particular stove

Americans suffer from a desperate need to believe in the inherent goodness of the American electorate--the idea that a voter in 2024--after nearly a decade of unfiltered, widely broadcast, deeply fascist rhetoric from Donald Trump--was simply "tricked" by a Facebook algorithm or a Fox News segment.

did we lose “cyber” just like we lost “crypto”? sadness

gamification: trying to pack before the edible hits.

I wish the Hague that people imagine really existed. badass.

americans only save the world in movies

they think it's an episode of THE APPRENTICE 2: HE'S GOT A GUN

I find it endearing that the nasa.gov website sometimes fails to load assets or gives me an nginx error. we all have problems 🖤

everyone is objecting to this post but it's because they *almost died*. did I almost post this? no I did not.

"Moon's haunted"

If that man can call from the moon you can text me back!

I'm begging you

brb going to look at the moon 🌑

why is "dying alone" such a big fear? not like you need help doing it, most of the time. it sounds great to me. very low drama.

Our friends at Firestorm are struggling in the face of disaster capitalism. A queer- and worker-owned bookstore that has, over and over, been there for the community. They let me set up a referral page with them. Books from my podcasts, my books, and books I love firestorm.coop/r/killjoy.html

i believe in the death of the author, and i don't care if the author was ever strictly alive

escribí una carta a Víctor de parte de su madre www.cartasalabismo.com/querido-vict... and its English translation www.cartasalabismo.com/en/dear-vict...

this is the only op-ed that has totally convinced me in a matter in which i was neutral

there's no mass on good friday, you protestant heathens.

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

my extremely offline friends want to talk about LLMs and work is full of LLM talk. I only talk about other things with Claude.

at dinner got reminded of the hangout where a guy threw hegel's phenomenology of spirit at another one's head

every day is Autism Awareness Day for people who interact with me.

you're a happy, well adjusted, professionally fulfilled engineering director. you are loved, you are safe, you are not particularly worried about your future, or the future of your family or your community. let's write a polite email to this vendor.

nasa employee: oh hey u guys are back early astronaut: Office365 in spaceship nasa employee: what? astronaut: *loading a pistol and getting back on the rocket-ship* Office365 in spaceship

idk man, I don't use LLMs for my writing, but if someone else does it and people read it and love it and connect with it somehow... fine?! I would love to tell people "please, do not consume slop" but they already do! they fucking love it! even the one that is artisanally human-generated.

managing calendar and correspondence and taking meeting notes was someone's job too. I have no doubt someone else would do it better than I do it, with fewer errors. who should I yell at, Microsoft?

today I have seven meetings and two dogs

las tortillas son patrimonio cultural de la humanidad 🖤

i know a lot of you nerds dream of working at nasa sending people to space but I couldn't. i don't want one of my work fuckups to kill four people and cost a billion dollars. i prefer silly websites.
