There was a really good article (sadly paywalled, but I'll link anyway) talking about how we think too much about AI in terms of automation, and it isn't actually good at that. We should think about it in terms of collaboration — how we can use it to supplement and augment human skills and ideas.

If they try to misdirect you, return their attention to the strudel. If they’ve eaten one piece to be polite, serve them a second helping. Repeat. Even if they refuse.

Blah blah blah AI is terrible blah blah blah vibe coding is for the weak yes comrades I am with you okay but I made an app! It is just for me, it's not for sharing. But language learning apps mostly suck and I really enjoy using AI to just practice conversations, so...

Autism doesn’t need to be cured.

Yeah if you don't know what GWAR's stage show is like, you clutching your pearls over GWAR's stage show at any given moment /is/ /the/ /entire/ /point/, well done you (ODERUS FOREVER)

Hey a thing I really don’t want to get lost here is that while Tylenol doesn’t cause autism, IT’S FINE TO BE AUTISTIC. Let’s not grant them the premise that autism should be eradicated in our way to correct the science, okay? Okay.

Another aftershock! Roller coaster here today.

neurodiversity is Good Actually. just want to say that

Wheeee aftershocks wheee

Hooooooly shit y'all that was a hell of a quake

I saw this on LinkedIn — a law school has an informal poll asking who the best lawyer character of all time is. And what really jumps out at me is, are there really only four female characters on this entire list? I guess I hadn't thought about it but /damn/, Hollywood, do better.

There are a whole bunch of takes from tech people right now who are saying the H1B program was "abused" and I really, really want them to sit me down and explain what exactly they mean without saying something racist.

I am once again begging you to use alt tags because individuals' content moderation settings trigger on those too. Some of us are trying to keep stuff out of our timelines. We appreciate your help!

Okay what time on Tuesday because I've got a workout at 2 and I want to be buff for Jesus

If you're in security and you're not reading @zackwhittaker.com's newsletter, you're missing out. This week featured one cute doggo and TWO cute cats. I suppose there was some informative security news too. Go. Make your inbox happier.

Watching Sneakers again after...like...a couple decades. Wow. "So people hire you to break into their places to make sure no one can break into their places?" "It's a living." "Not a very good one." ...oh, babe, it will be. And the NSA guy: "We're not chartered for domestic surveillance." 😐

“You used to be able to say anything” comedians never been more quiet in their lives

Canceling Jimmy Kimmel show is not about Charlie Kirk, just like going after universities was not about antisemitism and occupying DC was not about fighting crime.

From Milton Mayer's "They Thought They Were Free" I first read it in November and I'm rereading it now. It crushing feeling the exact same things as this academic did. It's the same process.

reading a book about china. apparently the government there has sent federal forces into cities, taken shares of major private enterprises, slapped tariffs on industries, and pressured media outlets to fire people they politically disagreed with. didn’t know this.

When the state can bully organizations to cancel television shows and fire people for speech, we don’t live in anything close to a functioning democracy.

Land of the free, my friends.

I don’t know when it’s going to pop for a lot of normies that they are living under an authoritarian regime, but the cancellation of popular TV shows that make fun of the administration might do it www.vulture.com/article/abc-...

ABC as a network is now preempting the show indefinitely. So this is nationwide.

Just a reminder you can get my Rude Ravens merch on my Redbubble shop. www.redbubble.com/people/abz-j...

Guess what I'm doing tonight (hacking the planet, it's hacking the planet)

I want every single person who’s ever argued passionately that we need a law criminalizing hate speech to sit with this interview, and think about what this administration could accomplish with it.

"I saw Goodie Lib being mean to Charlie Kirk and they were with the devil!"

This Emmys money/speech time nonsense is really terrible. CBS is quite happy to be state television.

“Severance" actor Tramell Tillman has won the Emmy for outstanding supporting actor in a drama series. He is the first Black man ever to win the award #Emmys

TRAMELL TILLMAN Y'ALL!!!

I feel like anyone who has dealt with abusers know this: at a certain point, you need to build an impenetrable barrier between your inner world & what they say about you. The more wrapped up you get in their version of events, how they’ve twisted the narrative, etc., the more energy they suck away.

I was remiss yesterday when I mentioned my two Maine coon kitties and did not include pics. Obviously pics are required when mentioning kitties. Karli and Chromie say hi.

I love Marshawn Lynch so, so, so much.

Hi! I was homeless. That's me he wants to kill. If you don't know me, hi, I am pretty nice, I think. I'm a privacy lawyer. I drive a cute yellow Bronco. I do art. I have two really fluffy Maine coon cats. I volunteer at food banks when I can. This guy would have killed me for being homeless.

Yuuuuup. Also, I don't give a shit if some of the worst people in the world think I am being performative or am virtue signaling. Fuck 'em. They don't get to tell me how to be. Anyway, trans rights are human rights, y'all. It's not complicated.

If you’re an isolated, angsty, strange young man, please know that you can play D&D with other isolated, angsty, strange young men - and women! - and before you know it, you'll no longer feel isolated. Though remaining angsty and strange is entirely appropriate, if not positively encouraged.

About damn time, let's go

Look at this awesome write-up about @somafm.com! www.sfexaminer.com/news/the-cit...

Lessons in Content Moderation At Scale, Volume 1:

This is the kind of excellent, quality reporting that we used to get from sources like, you know... ...anyway, well done, Verge. Glad you're around.

I understand that MAGA white dudes’ ideology is that they should all be shooting each other up, and honestly if they want to do that, fine, but leave the rest of us out of it? And stop blaming innocent others for it? And stop having your complicit media friends blame others for it?

So do I have this right: the Extremely Online head of the FBI missed that all the evidence on the bullets were 4chan memes, the suspect's social media is full of groyper memes, and he was only caught because his LEO father taught him how to shoot but not about STFU Friday?

I want you all to just watch how quickly mainstream media moves on from this story now.

Y'all are gonna make me finally learn what a groyper is, aren't you istg being online these days is like hanging out with high schoolers, I do not want to know what kayfabe means, you can't make me
