Meta will begin keystroke logging US employees at work -- complete with mouse movements and periodic screenshots -- to train better AI agents.

This comes after Boz posted about a future in which AI will "primarily do the work" at meta.

Trump continues to crater. New NBC poll has his approval down to 37-63, which is 26 points underwater.

Crucially, 50% disapprove *strongly.* Has any other president had half the country strongly disapproving?

the president of the united states is personally looting the treasury to the tune of literally billions of dollars and that he is not being immediately removed from office and tried for high crimes against this country is a devastating indictment of every part of our political system

the quotes on this are a real strong argument for 'please read the article, not the headline'

hanif is too good of a writer and this essay too nuanced and beautiful to be reduced into a snappy, clickable headline. alas, digital journalism.

thank god an essay isn't just the headline though, right?

Picture of SparcStation 2

Picture of SparcStation 2

From Facebook marketplace description:
Clearing out a collection of vintage Sun workstation equipment. Untested. Selling as a lot, prefer not to split up.

What's included:

Sun SparcStation 2 (hard drive removed)

2x Sun SparcStation 10 (hard drives removed, one missing system cover)

Sun monitor

Sun keyboard (missing 4 keys)

• 6x Sun mice

Honest disclosure: Some of these got wet when snow came through a leak in a moving truck. dried them with a large fan but did not open them up to dry the internals. I haven't tested anything. They were stored indoors since then. Sold as-is - great for someone who enjoys restoring vintage hardware.

$25 for a Sun SparcStation lot that has some water damage, and it's really close to me.

Worth it?

Zohran Mamdani said he's going to start taxing rich people who buy luxury housing in NYC but don't actually live in there, and the former CEO of Twitter/X called it "actually one of the scariest things I have ever seen."

Truly remarkable how many people have told the Pope, in some way or another, to "shut up and dribble." Or corrected him on the Bible, despite their thin education on theology. Or told him to stay out of US affairs, despite him being a US citizen. The hubris is amazing.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: scene from the movie Aliens; Ripley is in a mech suit and delivers her iconic line: “get away from her, you bitch!” Panel 2: the xenomorph queen lunges at Ripley in the robotic suit and they engage in a fight. Panel 3: later, the xenomorph queen is standing in the shower, mid wash. She says, “‘it takes one to know one, honey.’ That’s what I should have said.”
