A post on X from the betting platform Polymarket that says “BREAKING: Anthropic CEO says Claude may or may not have gained consciousness, as the model has begun showing symptoms of anxiety.”
Literally as I’m arguing with someone about whether AI companies are misleading people into believing their technology possesses God-like super-intelligence I see this monstrosity
After the AWS outages in UAE over the weekend due to drone debris, I wonder the same thing about US based hyperscaler data centers. Their locations are not exactly secret, fragile roofs, and I can't imagine they have drone protection (at least not yet).
+1 all of this, especially the media comment. Al Jazeera is the closest you are going to get to on the ground reporting reality. www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblo...
Repairing specialized equipment in a war zone where engineers are justifiably focused on their safety and no ability to fly equipment/people in is very non-trivial.
I can't remember last time, if any, that AWS recommended enacting DR plans to restore in an alternate region? Folks running in UAE just got asked to move over to EU. health.aws.amazon.com/health/status
"Falling objects" starting a fire in one AZ and now power disruption in second AZ.
France just announced they are going to expand their nuclear stockpile and allow deployment to allied countries.
This is the right answer for every country, unfortunately. US has made it clear what happens if you give up your nukes. Amazing timeline we are in.

Accurate.
As someone who was around in 1991 and 2003 I can affirm that US cable news and options like the BBC are going to be useless and intolerable on events in Iran so just watch AJE on YouTube imho www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCNe...
This is a Colorado based organization flooded with relocation assistance requests. tcpipeline.org Colorado borders Kansas. Direct donation link: www.zeffy.com/en-US/donati...
So disappointing. I remember when they were expressing desires to morph into a National Lab. Always thought that was a right answer.
Now that National Labs are being dismantled vs. invested in (we live in an epic timeline) and massive investors/ customers knocking at the door...here we are.
And of course, ICE and CBP are all still being paid.
DHS decides to shutdown TSA Precheck in response to funding. Said this was to address staffing issues.
In what should be a surprise to no one, Precheck lines were fully staffed at SeaTac. They were just forcing all to do the general screening dance, making it harder on unpaid TSA employees.
I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.
And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.
Wow my @commodoreofficial.bsky.social 64 is here and it’s just perfect www.tiktok.com/t/ZThxTMs9G/
My new Orbic RC400L LTE modem. On the front panel display it has the EFF logo and a green line running across the top indicating it is capturing packets and no Stingray's detected.
Got Rayhunter running, fun start to the weekend.

So cool, congrats!!
we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad
So many developers have sent me that Anthropic skills/mastery case study that I realized I should ungate what I *already wrote* about this: beginning principles to design workflows that work *with* your mind, not against it, & protect your problem-solving

It's not like anyone is asking us to be surrounded by whistling longer than we can handle. Good grief.
This has been my biggest fear in WA re: anti-ICE prep... liberal organizers losing the thread on effective tactics and policing(!) the response as a result. Both myself and my oldest teenage daughter have over-reactive nervous systems. We have coping mechanisms and fully support the whistles.
Also, hey @jpaulreed.com ...been way too long!!
Unsurprisingly, @jpaulreed.com asks some very thoughtful questions for those tasked with supporting US based organizations and teams running critical systems in today's world.

Every paycheck I hit a different section. Find what works for you... Seattle is over here anticipating a spicy summer.
Ok, let me just find the key to my TARDIS...
i love a free country, where the president's secret police can shoot out the windows of random citizens with impunity
The unspoken rules for protest in the US have been, for decades, that if you have a big tame sign-holding march, it's safe to bring your kids.
If you're not perceived as threatening their power, they'll leave you alone.
Which means they perceive their unpopularity as a threat to their power
what impressed me most today was that a huge crowd of people who mostly had never been tear gassed managed to retreat without running or trampling each other. under a cloud of gas that was not moving (zero wind), people held onto each other and walked blind down a street packed tight as sardines
would love to hear from journalists on this! unfortunately i know very few so don’t have the info…
Hmmm...I wonder if there is demand from journalists for help with this? I am going to hold off committing to building these things until I experience the pain first, but you have planted the seed...
Local cops have put out a statement saying they will expressly disobey the Mayor‘s order to protect Seattlites from ICE violence. In case anyone was wondering
