When I see companies cutting jobs because "with AI we can do the same with fewer people" I instantly think about the quality of their products, customer service, everything.

They're dropping people with years of understanding of their business & customers — to stand still.

As if that were success.

Important these words are repeated again and again.

How to Pick Your Password Manager Phishing and data breaches are a constant on the internet. The single best defense against both is to use a password manager to generate and automatically fill a unique password for every site. While

That’s not at all to say nukes couldn’t get launched because of those words. But those decisions would be made elsewhere.

If for some reason you haven’t read Kevin Hearn’s Iron Druid, it’s worth your time for the dog alone.

The old nerds know, just ask us.

And many of those already stay in use beyond their intended eol due to expense and complication of replacement. Yup, let’s make that so much better (not).

Everybody’s talking about the destruction of consumer electronics and that’s bad, but basically everything in modern life has a computer in it. Hospitals, airports, transportation, shipping, medical devices, farm equipment, and point of sale terminals had a good run

making vaccination a preferred and practical solution for supporting immune fitness throughout the aging process. Ultimately, vaccination should be regarded as a cornerstone of comprehensive healthy aging strategies, together with nutrition, physical activity, and management of chronic conditions.

Yep. I don't recall a time in history where limiting someone else's rights added to my own. It isn't some strange zero sum game, wherein if someone transitions or wants to, it lessens me. Hurting someone else DOES lessen me, however. It makes us all smaller.

As you’ve identified this is a problem. Not a thing to accept.

Last time we were arresting peacefully protesting clergy, that action and those surrounding it were on the very wrong side of history. Just saying.

“You can’t have data extracted from a phone that you don’t have on you,” EFF’s Bill Budington told Fast Company. “Bringing a secondary device, one that can capture footage in high quality, for instance, is a good suggestion.” www.fastcompany.com/91481220/yo...

Apple & Google removed ICE tracking apps in their app stores.

TikTok reportedly suppressed videos criticizing ICE & the shooting of Alex Pretti.

Meta blocked Facebook groups tracking ICE & links to a database of agents that the government wants to keep secret.

Big Tech is enabling Trump's regime.

That seems a more useful use of that energy for sure.

A Man Bought Meta's AI Glasses, and Ended Up Wandering the Desert in Search of Aliens After encountering Meta AI, a man's mental health unraveled. As he lost touch with reality, the chatbot continued to affirm his delusions.

Another AI psychosis story. I think understanding genre would actually be helpful for people trying to make sense of LLM outputs. If you prompt it with cosmic / SF / paranoid ideas it will accept that genre premise in the tone of its responses futurism.com/artificial-i...

He made a statement that aligns fully with the UCMJ…it’s not about first am rights (may surprise folks how much is suspended in the military). It is about NOT having done what he’s accused of, and the line between private and military life. Also censuring an elected official executing *that* duty.

“As an AI PR engine I want to be able to produce broadly acceptable apologetic and explanatory language while admitting no fault or liability toward myself nor my human overlords”
