Fuck yeah that launch was cool

2021 Republicans: How dare tech companies talk to government about moderating speech!!! We’ll create a whole false narrative about it and take it all the way to the Supreme Court! 2025 Republicans: We run things now so

Trump is pushing *hard* for the SAVE America Act to pass knowing that it’s bound to fail. Why? It's a pretext. Read about the administration’s much broader strategy to undermine the midterms and what we can all do about it. 🔗 https://www.ifyoucankeepit.org/p/whatever-happens-with-the-save-america

Raul Rivera yelling outside Mamdani presser. Mamdani: “I want that man to be able to afford to keep living in NYC, because the day that I don't hear him yelling at me, it means he got priced out of this place.” “We need to make this a city where it's affordable enough to yell at your politicians.”

It's exciting to see folks finding value in these tools - take a look at what @katieharbath.bsky.social built, it's very neat!

Thrilled to publish my latest article BAN COOKIE BANNERS: A CASE STUDY IN TECH REGULATION with the Harv. J. of Law & Tech! A cri de cœur to end this worse-than-useless regulatory compliance regime and let something that actually protects users take its place. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.... 1/

This means anyone building an agent can give it a principled, consistent way to evaluate content instead of hoping the LLM gets it right. Small step, but it makes agents more trustworthy by default. Give the skill at try here and let us know how it goes: github.com/zentropi-ai/skills/

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

Historically, content classification tooling has been built around the assumption that you're evaluating a finished piece of content. That assumption holds fine for user-generated text. It breaks down entirely for streaming LLM outputs. 🧵 1/4

When there are no laws meaningfully regulating military AI use, the Pentagon’s promise to use AI “lawfully” mean almost nothing. The authoritarian AI crisis has arrived www.platformer.news/anthropic-pe...

I want you to put the word out there that we back up.

Some day we'll all regret this & we'll hold hearings & rend garments & pledge "never again" & we'll be just as full of shit as we were last time.

Zentropi is now integrated into Coop, @roost.tools's open source moderation platform. You can write a content policy in plain English on Zentropi, plug it into Coop as a signal, and have a moderation pipeline running in minutes.

@dwillner.bsky.social and I have spent years watching T&S teams rebuild the same infrastructure from scratch. This is what it looks like when open tools actually work together instead. Really proud of this one and appreciative of @roost.tools's leadership! Details: blog.zentropi.ai/zentropi-now...

@dwillner.bsky.social and @samidh.bsky.social have released open models for online safety, pushed transparency with their model cards, and made it easier for teams to kickstart their safety work with their policy labeler library. We're excited that they're now integrated with our review tool, Coop!

Extremely excited to see this launch!

Cops are great Also: guillotines are the moderate solution

Just as ICE and CBP have no legitimate role in "election security" neither does the head of DHS. The mere existence of this press conference should be a scandal, much less this tone-deaf comment.

All of my group chats are responding to Homan’s announcement by asking everyone to double down because: 1. ICE is still out there and abducting people today. We can’t trust the occupation is over until we actually see it. 2. People are going to be in an economic crisis for a very long time.

I do not wish to be mean, but if I hear you in the year 2026 claiming that Elon Musk "saved free speech" from "leftist censors" I am going to question your judgment on pretty much everything else, because you do not live in reality.

For people impressed by the 130k jobs added in January, I'd offer and alternative economic analysis that I think you'll find compelling. www.thebulwark.com/p/shock-poll...

You’ve got to FIGHT For your RIGHT To PARTY WITH PEOPLE WHO FUCK KIDS

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here. (clip via MPR and @davidjbier.bsky.social on X)

Minneapolis should press its momentum and demand not only withdrawal but start talking about the need for immediate reparations, loudly, with the total certainty that only winners have. "You have wronged us terribly and must pay recompense" and let them argue the second part.

Meet Osprey V1.0, a new open source online safety tool designed to help platforms investigate and address their priority threats at scale, without sacrificing data privacy or performance. roost.tools/blog/introdu...

This is so unhinged

@techpolicypress.bsky.social was kind enough to host my reflections on just how far we’ve already come with AI-assisted content moderation. We’ve got a long way to go, but the difficulties that used to serve as (legitimate) excuses are fading fast. www.techpolicy.press/ai-is-removi...

Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera. Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

People not in Minneapolis spreading the theory that Pretti was targeted in a hit do not understand the damage they’re potentially doing. Insanely irresponsible

Guys maybe the number one obstacle to organizing here in Minneapolis is the unfounded fear that if you get involved, DHS will put you on a list and assassinate you. It leads people to avoid organizing or act in ways that are completely detrimental to organizing. Please please do not spread that fear

This isn't fixed with better training.

MN > ICE

Yep, the shootings were clearly great politics for the White House just like the White House said.

what will likely be my final words to greg bovino

We just shipped image classification on Zentropi! You can write your criteria in plain English, then analyze images against them at scale using cope-b-12b, a new multimodal model we trained Critically, @samidh.bsky.social used it to make a cat detector: blog.zentropi.ai/zentropi-now-labels-images/

A lot of the time, specific people and organizations are the problem, and an unwillingness to say that clearly is, itself, a part of that problem.

the purpose of Christian compassion is to let it be weaponized against you. you are meant to die of it if necessary.

I don't think it matters whether or not Alex Pretti had a gun www.theverge.com/policy/86745...

From the NY Post. You know they are really scrambling when they are running "The gun was no angel" stories.

Those blaming failure to "reduce tensions" by telling protestors to stay home want you to be ok with/forget that masked federal thugs just murdered a man in broad daylight It's not a time to reduce tension. It's a time to stand up in overwhelming numbers They SHOULD be afraid of what happens next

Please reshare the below post, unfortunately some accounts with lots of followers have reposted the false claim and loads of people are falling for it.

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

Let’s be clear about something: This was an execution. Rep. Moulton voted No on the Homeland Security approps bill this week. Not a single Democratic Senator should vote Yes on that funding bill now. We cannot provide more resources to ICE or CBP. None of this is acceptable.

Why is Dem leadership not on the ground in MN? If the answer is “polls show Trump’s disapproval is only -15 on deportations, but -25 on prices,” thats a Bad Use Of Polling and a complete failure in their capacity as leaders to lead public opinion and fight for democracy and the rule of law

The way to reconcile this is their aspiration was always to put down a slave revolt, not fight in one. bsky.app/profile/osit...

What is happening on the streets of the US with “Law Enforcement” agents killing people is disgusting, horrific and outrageous. I don’t have a take. I don’t have words. I don’t have advice for how to fight back. I am just grieving.

If you are looking for a technical description of how X rots your brain, look no further than their github post on the 'X algorithm'. It is pure, unadulterated behavioral engagement maximization that amplifies the very worst human impulses. github.com/xai-org/x-al...

There is no redeeming this, no amount of training that can fix the rot at the heart of this institution. Any Democratic official that votes to give this agency a penny is betraying our country.
