So claude.ai appears to use Canvas fingerprinting, which only became apparent after toggling Firefox's privacy.resistFingerprinting (which corrupts Bluesky image uploads).
Paying to silence Billie is perfect.

I’m just a tech journalist, what do I know about anything? But as a tax paying US citizen for my entire adult life, I’m allowed to say: this is not normal, it’s not OK, and everyone with power is complicit.
this is so funny, all of tbpn's distribution is on X and elon is going to throttle them so hard www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...
the Metaverse and Sora in one week is a devastating moment for pointless bullshit

Just to be very clear: The Trump DOJ is stealing $1.2 million of your money to gift one of Trump’s cronies, who pled guilty to the crimes he was charged with, and whose suit against the government had already been tossed by a judge.
So that's what a chorus of nervous AI company investors sounds like.
AI companies are more worried about their chatbot’s mental health than that of their users, who can actually have psychosis induced by those chatbots, leading some of them to take their own lives.
I love this future.
Maybe there's a lot of demand for to-do list apps...

One more nail in the coffin of the idea of interoperable software and digital services regulated by markets dominated by unaccountable platform giants. With today’s actually existing infrastructure, non-technical people simply can’t use 'apps', 'extensions' et al without putting themselves at risk.
I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.
Differences aside, it's totally the same.
> how many 'r's are there in strawberry?
There is one 'r' in "strawberry". 😊
Let me know if you’d like to try another word!
> That's wrong.
You are absolutely right! My apologies. I'm still under development ...
There is only **one** "r" in "strawberry".
Thanks for pointing out my mistake!
If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.
Democracy dies in oligarchy.
The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023.
The Cato study provides the first-ever 30-year analysis of the fiscal effects of immigration on government budgets.

This line graph illustrates the percentage change in agency staff levels from the previous year for nine major U.S. federal scientific and health organizations between the fiscal years 2016 and 2025. The agencies tracked include the CDC, Department of Energy, EPA, FDA, NASA, NIH, NIST, NOAA, and NSF. For the majority of the timeline between 2016 and 2023, the agencies show relatively stable fluctuations, generally staying within a range of +5% to -5% change per year. However, there is a dramatic and uniform plummet starting in the 2024–25 period. Every agency depicted shows a sharp downward trajectory, with staffing losses ranging from approximately -15% to over -25%. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) shows the most significant decline, dropping to roughly -26%, while the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) shows the least severe but still substantial drop at approximately -15%.
This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.
