Massachusetts folks: I made these stickers sharing LUCE's ICE hotline ☎️ 617-370-5023--they verify sightings and share confirmed info. Stickers fit 1"x2.6" label (Avery 5160). Image below or follow link for a full sheet. Print, stick every&anywhere. www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/7v098...

X says Grok account will stop undressing women. I just tested the standalone Grok app, which immediately complied with my request to undress a photo of me. This is illegal, according to the legal experts I spoke with.

The reality is that ICE and DHS actually CAN and ARE attacking people who are exercising their rights. I say this NOT to dissuade anyone from exercising those rights, but to challenge @tedlieu.bsky.social and other politicians to do more to protect those rights than post this kind of thing.

The funny thing is that you can see these exact same articles written about Google Glass in 2012. Casting them as inevitable is part of the hype cycle.

Receiving a job rejection email too soon is a form of cyberbullying

Everybody thinks 'https://' stands for 'hypertext transfer protocol secure' but it actually stands for 'head to this place, sucka' followed by a colon and two laser sounds

If you put the Apple icons in reverse it looks like the portfolio of someone getting really really good at icon design

People not in Minnesota: please read this excellent summary of what life is like in Minneapolis since the murderous scum ICE swarmed here. And more are on their way. By local reporter / writer / bike dude / legend @dbrauer.net .

Finally watching season 3 of The Diplomat.. The Keri Russell and Allison Janney combo is 🔥

Meh..

Website has been launched and shared on LinkedIn! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

I joined design experts in speaking with the writer of Fast Company’s recent article on Joe Gebbia as the first U.S. Chief Design Officer, sharing concerns related to America by Design and its failure to design for America. www.fastcompany.com/91458973/chi...

If Flock didn’t want their information to be captured they shouldn’t have been recklessly driving around on the internet, I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What really bothers me is that even if OpenAI changes their models to guard against doing stuff like this, the design idea of automated dialogic psychological coercion machines is just out there now, for other people to reproduce with open weights/open source LLMs and set loose in all kinds settings

Respectfully, leaving abusive situations is not “letting the abuser win”. It’s a common, but deeply problematic way to frame any kind of abusive or hostile environment. “Just keeping taking the abuse” is deeply misogynistic

if you put this in a script even erin brockovitch would be like “too on the nose, dial it back”

Still can't get over how Apple and Google removed the ICE app that alerted people that ICE was in the their community, but won't remove an app that has an AI tool that creates 'nonconsensual sexualized images of women and CHILDREN'

I have an op-ed in the NYT today about the Grok scandal, sharing my research from last year finding that legal risk hinders AI companies from making their models safer against CSAM - an echo of the years where white-hat hackers were chilled from good-faith research. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/12/o...

"Basic guidelines" and "food quality" don't belong in the same sentence

My job this week is to utilize the great feedback I received and make some necessary tweaks to my website before launch 🚀

historically accurate☑️

Somehow we are only 11 days into this year

oh i had this realization once

No decent person or organization should be on Xitter any more.

effects of HTML: - mood lift, euphoria - increased giggling and laughing - creative, philosophical or deep thinking: ideas flow more easily - boring tasks or entertainment can become more interesting or funny - sensation of insight - intense feelings of wonder

According to this FT article, Sir Paul Nurse says: “I’m afraid there’s many bad people around, but they have made scientific advances.” The ‘but’ in this quote says it all… So don’t blame us when we lose faith in institutions that regard integrity as irrelevant to designating scientific greatness.

I guess I'm finally at the age when instead of making resolutions, my body is like "you fucked up" Which is why I'm now taking fish oil and looking at cordless water flossers

The irrational Millennial urge to post song lyrics as a post like this is AOL Instant Messenger

OpenAI is asking contractors to upload projects from past jobs, leaving it to them to strip out confidential and personally identifiable information. I’m sure that will go well:

Starting up a DNA testing company. People sign up, pay, and get sent a DNA testing kit to send back. I get the kit, burn it, and then send them back a letter saying "Don't send your DNA to random companies what the fuck is the matter with you. Keeping your money btw"

Watching Megalopis reaction videos to feel something other than anger and anxiety

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Keeping the size of the echo chamber of degeneracy inflated so it doesn't win

"degenerate echo chamber where perverts and paedophiles are welcome" is a pretty good descriptor of what every hard right message board organically became before the world's richest man put his thumb on the scales to create such an environment artificially at twitter

Just had a guy going door to door among the businesses along Minnehaha Avenue drop this off. Hell yeah.

I think it's a bad sign that every major news media outlet has spent days asking whether or not murder is bad and how much child porn is an okay amount

The UI is finally starting to look like something I’d actually want to use. Still feels like it could be even more minimal though.

1) Aren't "white men" (as defined by people like this) already a global minority 2) Isn't saying "the only way to fight (perceived) racism is by being the *most* racist" an objective self-own

For every horrible design choice that is made in an app you use, think of me (and other designers), in a meeting going "no that's a horrible choice" and it happening anyways. That's product design some days.

I'm pretty sure eating too many of these in a short period of time gave me cavities.. children, learn from my mistakes

my husband saw this on his feed and said "did you make this!?" yes my love i used the stupid eye dropper thingy to match the color and everything

wow really helpful, thank you new york times

today I have a zoom interview to be a penguin looker-atter at the aquarium, and if god has ever loved me even a little he will let me have this

The way the media covers AI is normalizing giving these adulation machines personhood.

Oh.

Grok has not "turned off" its CSAM generator for anyone - it has simply put it behind a paywall. Stop uncritically repeating the narratives of tech companies.
