Last year when I was checking into a hotel, the desk person was wearing Meta glasses. I kindly asked them to take them off. They were annoyed. I said, “I do not consent to you looking at my credit card and ID with Meta glasses on.” My instincts were correct: www.bbc.com/news/article...
This has been an interesting theory but didn’t Judge Boasberg put the nail in the coffin last year?

In this particular fantasy, Mike Pence has apparently made a comeback.
I suppose Instagram was always about pretending to live in a fantasy world, but AI has solidified the product-market fit.

Although… maybe not if
1) OpenAI took the same stance as Anthropic and

New — I spoke to eight trans people in Kansas about the new state law that invalidated their driver’s licenses overnight, what’s it’s like to live there right now, plus details of two DMV emails exclusively obtained by The Handbasket that shed light on the law’s chaotic and cruel rollout:
If this Anthropic order stands, it’s going to tear the tech industry apart.
