free AI at the career fair ice cream bribery event

“Technology firms behind artificial intelligence–based note-taking software — marketed to therapists as a time-saving administrative tool — have quietly included provisions in their terms and conditions that allow patients’ therapy records to be sold and manipulated to train other AI applications.”

your conveniences are killing you

oh hey this is what 66 feet of antenna wire laid out across a back alley on campus looks like because one can't answer emails and be in zoom meetings allllll the time! #othernetworks @rose-alibi.bsky.social

Two models of Amazon smart glasses—one for hip consumers who can order products on the go, and one for wage workers, whose efficiency and whereabouts will be tracked continuously. One is a luxury item, one will be mandatory. Both ensure nonstop surveillance. Both are extractive. Both are handcuffs.

i caved and bought a thing from an internet ad and for once i don't hate it.

i am "wait is that podcast ad using an instrumental version of The Bad Touch as their backing music" years old

nothing anyone says will convince me peter thiel isn't sticky, texturally

everyone i like should just live like a 10 minute walk away. 20. minutes max. maybe a short train ride for some of you...

if you live in the Denver/Boulder area, I would love to see you at the Boulder Public Library Canyon Theater Tuesday 5pm! I'll be performing a version of myself along w/my fav collaborator @rose-alibi.bsky.social, a lot of radios, some semaphore flags, & a few other neat bits & pieces #othernetworks

mile high 🙄

In the US, we use elevators, but in Britain they use lifts. I guess Americans and Britons are just raised differently.

oh stop it, C.P. Snow, with your charming, slightly self-deprecating critique of "computer gadgets" from 1964!

oh how i hate gadgets

every time i follow some arbitrary rule like waiting at a crosswalk instead of just darting thru traffic i regret it

as I just texted to @rose-alibi.bsky.social, I am trying to say something new at an upcoming AI symposium but I think all the critiques are already there in the 1960s and weirdly we have forgotten them and think "we" (ie even the anti-AI crowd) are coming up with fresh, new, important insights!

i cannot overstate how much i love jackass and this episode goes a long way towards explaining some of why

I really wish the US had actually listened to Chumbawumba's lyrics rather than just half-hearing "Tubthumping" and then relegating them to drunk-at-a-bar music. Like… Even on that album (their eighth, btw), there's levels & layers of class, anti-racist, feminist, & queer-conscious themes. So good.

read it, sit with it, read it again

it's new sticker day! shop.interferencer.com/product/i-us...

oh hai - i am working on a solo show for the first time in 10 years. it will almost entirely be small sculptural pieces and i want to include crowdsourced bits of scavenged detritus. so...

Bought a 5 pack!

Instead of regurgitating the bromide that LLMs are just "autocomplete on steroids" (even by people who know better), maybe we can actually engage in some public education. The problem with genAI is better expressed through a classic computer science concept, known as SYMBOL GROUNDING. 🧵

buy this anarchist zine on microcredit with klarna

Washington Post: “Is fascism bad? The answer may surprise you” Teen Vogue: “Here are three fun tips you can use this summer to disable an armored personnel carrier”

fully encrypted police radio violates my right to know what the fuck those creeps are up to

radios aren't not synthesizers

Work slowly.

Anyways @rose-alibi.bsky.social makes really good stickers

🐠🐡I wrote about my experiences exploring the reef as a visually impaired person and making a descriptive diving bell at Dinacon! Check it out! medium.com/@leeborg_/a-...

if you're around Boulder tomorrow, I'll be on this panel at the Boulder Public Library main branch calendar.boulderlibrary.org/event/14822874

post @dinacon.bsky.social comedown is a bummer, nobody in my house is ever yelling excitedly about nudibranchs

did some soldering al fresco today at dinacon, as the fates intended @dinacon.bsky.social on.bsky.social

about 1 in 20 follows on here passes the bot sniff test. it feels like i only come here to block sus profiles...

Two children, both American citizens, both suffering from cancer. A Buddhist activist who was taking his citizenship test. A 50-year resident of the state of Washington. Two 35-year residents of California. Lorde knows how many people fleeing a violent dictatorship.

A grandma who works at Target. An advocate for farmworkers. A cancer researcher. A grad student who wrote an op-ed. A hairdresser. A sheet metal worker and loving father to an autistic child. At least two people who took a wrong turn on the same bridge in Detroit. A toddler.

Do every stupid thing that makes you feel alive

not having the AI convo anymore i’m just sending people this

“is my calculator horny?“ our tech columnist asks. “i entered 5318008 into it and turned it upside down. what i saw surprised me”

Another day, another infuriating AI article that accepts everything tech oligarchs say at face value, when they have $$$ interest in the narratives of inventing a superintelligent AGI with a "humanlike" consciousness. 🧵https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/24/technology/ai-welfare-anthropic-claude.html

Just to make it abundantly clear, they're using modern data analytic tools to track Americans by political affiliation and even autism diagnosis to first take away those people's rights (including autonomy and self-defense) and then take -them- away when it's cost and politically efficient.

Gonna be real with you, this feels like an advertisement for spiritual death

hey read this book it's really incredible

remove follower button when

listening to relaxing music while i work on some accessioning (blasting IDLES as loud as I can physically stand)

oh hey welcome to your trial, blackshirts

So unless we impeach this man, we now have a straight line toward a US system of concentration camps for political prisoners
