Kids groups say they didn’t know OpenAI was behind their child safety coalition OpenAI quietly helped build a “‘parents and kids”’ AI safety group. Some members quit when they found out.

The A stands for “astroturf.”

The fact that race science and eugenics are inextricable from this technology is also why its makers and sellers and pushers do not want you looking too deep into its histories and/or consequences, why they shout you down so hard, why they demonize critics.

Personal update: I resigned from Deno two weeks ago. Yesterday was my last day at Deno.

Working on Deno, Deno Deploy, JSR, and Fresh with my world class colleagues has been an absolute honor. I wish everyone who I have worked with at Deno the absolute best - continue building groundbreaking things!

I like Signal over old fashion text messages (SMS) because SMS is very insecure, easy to spy on, gets collected by NSA, etc. And it's not as good at photos/videos/group chats. But I mean yeah, at least it's not a Meta product

I don't speak on behalf of the company; this is just me, sharing what I can because I guess I hope maybe it'll do some good.

If I can connect you with any of these extraordinarily talented ex-Deno folks, or if you just want to hear me gush about them (and maybe cry a little), hit me up.

Rumors, misinformation, and baseless speculation tend to swirl when a big thing like this happens, so in the interest of staving off some of that, let me just say: nothing led to this except cruel business realities.

Deno is not going away. These are just hard times.

You might have noticed me sharing a lot of posts from ex-Deno folks.

I'd unhesitatingly go to bat for, work with, or hire each and every one of my now-former colleagues in a heartbeat. To a person, these are brilliant, kind, thoughtful humans who are each exceptionally excellent at what they do.
