Good point, just complaining about the bicoastal insanity of the ACC might be a safe space.

The Election Interference Hypocrisy How Trump is using Iran's past election interference to justify his own

Anyway, I appreciate @katestarbird.bsky.social doing a good writeup of the situation. katestarbird.substack.com/p/the-electi...

Yeah. I wrote a long draft thread about our 2020 election research being used to justify this illegal war after the same academic work was held up as cEnSorShiP, but I deleted it instead of (gestures around). Post on X and have my kids threatened by Russian LLMs or face a BSky struggle session? Hmmm

I was recently asked why I don't post on BlueSky more. Well, if Jamelle Bouie isn't pure enough to survive here...

OFFS. When Iran tried to interefere in 2020, researchers caught them and called them out. Then the Benz-Weiss-Taibbi-Musk-Jordan-Trump axis labeled those researchers "censors" ... and set about defunding them and dismantling their organizations.

I cannot wait until the White House changes hands and all of you ghouls switch back from "you're a traitor unless you bootlick so hard your tongue goes numb" to "the government asking any questions about my offshore fentanyl casino is vile tyranny and I will throw myself in the San Francisco Bay in protest", like werewolves at the last ray of the setting moon.

Fatality.

Another day, another phishing site protected by @cloudflare.social. This one is totally ripping through my kids’ school. Thanks CloudFlare, for the useless reply to my abuse report!

Clearly only possible with Soros money.

A grey blue washed image of a bearded young ish white guy looking into the mirror all serious with his palm pressed against it. A serif font title reads: DID I JUST ARGUE WITH A JOKE? A semi opaque navy snoot near the bottom bears the bluesky logo and the text PART OF A BLUESKY EDUCATIONAL SERIES

We have, but @riana is the expert on this specific topic and has already been invoked by mentioning her one true name.

Welcome to the rathole, chat. (You will talk like this after watching)

I'm all for keeping California a competitive business environment, but I think we can let Seoul own 14 year-olds having their joints rebuilt for the benefit of billion-dollar corporations and the IG fanbase.

Watching the Katseye documentary with my daughter and my initial conclusions are:
1) Wow, these young ladies are talented and work hard
2) How has @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov not opened an investigation into HYBE for child work conditions? There are two orthopedic surgeries documented ON CAMERA.

Gotta use those miles before they expire.

The Big Sleep | TWiT.TV From AI-powered code generation boosting productivity to adversaries using the same tools to hunt zero-days, the panel exposes the coming wave of AI-fueled cyberattacks—and

AI boosts productivity while arming adversaries as @leolaporte.me, @jilleduffy.bsky.social, @stamos.org, & @gigastacey.bsky.social discuss the coming wave of AI-fueled cyberattacks on This Week in Tech covering OpenAI's security researcher & the F5 hack! twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-tech/episodes/1056

Human bug finders at least had a reasonable speed limit placed on them. I think it’s reasonable to ask the Big Sleep team to try to get their model to also spin out patches if they are going to bury OSS teams under CVEs

I think there are a lot of things going on:
1) A long build up of frustration of ffmpeg being used by big companies without financial support

2) A history of anger at Google for their rigid 90 day policy (which will actually flex under circumstances)

3) The volume impact of AI

4) AI backlash

I haven’t seen any outlets cover it yet. The arguments are happening on X, here is a discussion on HN news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4578...

This post is praxis.

“In the last 1224ms I contacted mcp.ancestry.com and the Library of Congress and found both an ethnic background that you never knew about as well as an archaic slur for that ethnicity that has not been used in print since 1947.”

So efficient

“What’s grok’s competitive advantage over, say, Anthropic’s newest offerings?”

“Well, first off, it’s 50x more likely to figure out and use the correct ethnic slur for your highest revenue customers when deployed in a customer service role!”

“Riiiiiiight.”

The funniest part of this was *venture capitalists* not understanding that AI safety and alignment is not about censorship and political correctness, but F500 customers not paying foundation model vendors 7-9 figures a year for LLMs to do insult comic crowdwork with their customers.
