Yeah, and with so many "experts" flocking the latest "AI solution" it's like popping a billion bubble wrap bubbles, rather than the burst we need to fix things.

Paying to market your company on an Incel Camino is *A Choice*.

I didn't know anything about SecureOS before I saw this. Now I'm on a mission to ensure that doesn't change.

He thinks a 1% approval rating means he's "number one" 😉

The Real Winner of Trump’s Iran War So Far? Vladimir Putin. China’s Xi Jinping is also benefiting.

LISTEN: EFF’s Cindy Cohn joined @kuow.org’s Soundside to discuss 30 years of fighting the good (digital) fight, ahead of tonight's “Privacy’s Defender” event at @townhallseattle.bsky.social in #Seattle!

If anyone wasn't of the belief that he's trying to create a state-run media, the fact that he shared this should take care of any hesitation on that front.

To put this in language that members of this administration can understand: Pete Hegseth is scared of a girl.

Major Alex Klinner has been named by his family as the 2nd of 6 US service members killed in Thursday’s refueling operation to support the US war against Iran. He leaves behind a wife and three children. (Photos from GoFundMe set up to support the family www.gofundme.com/f/major-alex...)

First 6 Days of Iran War Cost U.S. $11.3 Billion, Pentagon Says

That's about half of what it cost for USAID for a whole year www.nytimes.com/live/2026/03...

Why does this read like a scene from a Zoolander movie?

Watergate is an overused benchmark, but it's the one most Americans are familiar with.

That scandal involved a president trying to cover up a crime that was basically breaking and entering by his subordinates, a misdemeanor in most places.

This one, meanwhile ...

What the Defense Production Act Can and Can’t Do to Anthropic The legal answer depends on what the government is actually demanding—and the statute's ambiguities cut both ways.

Yesterday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth threatened to invoke the Defense Production Act to compel Anthropic to provide its technology on the Pentagon's terms. @alanrozenshtein.com analyzes what the DPA can actually do here and what exactly the government is demanding.

Something that an AI agent can't do is tell you what thoughts and questions you actually have when you read something. Here are some of mine about the passage below, and why I value teaching students to think critically: so they can ask their own questions.

Reminder that I have a starter pack of cat accounts run by real people who post original content with meaningful ALT text! go.bsky.app/J8yqxnN

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.

This pretty much nails what underlies all the hype about sentient AIs.

Even elected Republicans are starting to wake up to the reality that they cannot outrun the will of the people.

Your voice matters, well before Election Day, in more ways than you may realize.

It's also a demonstration of failing to grasp the very basics of behavior science.

Make ICE unemployable.

Another day, another clown vibe coding an app and thinking they're the shit. 🤦🏻

Reminds me of the missing stair metaphor.

Andrej Karpathy on X: "I've never felt this much behind as a programmer. The profession is being dramatically refactored as the bits contributed by the programmer are increasingly sparse and between. I have a sense that I could be 10X more powerful if I just properly string together what has become" / X I've never felt this much behind as a programmer.

The entire history of software engineering is one of rising levels of abstraction.

This is as it was, is now, and always shall be.

Not only does this cost in terms of economics, but it also dilutes the effect of the phrase "national security" (even further than it currently is.)

This...

I'll go a step further:
While we should absolutely jail members of the administration who committed human rights violations, they shouldn't be sent to torture camps either (even the ones who sent others to torture camps).

Interesting idea, but science isn't based the result of reasoning alone. Empirical findings are important.
