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.

@cincygooners.com what channel do y'all chime in on whether you're going to the Pitch? Bluesky, X, IG, FB, email😅

Great letter from my friend Jay Butera.

The photos coming from Trump’s birthday parade are just incredible. No one showed up.

Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

A few days ago, President Trump issued an executive order seeking to block all federal funding to NPR, the latest in a series of threats to media organizations across the country.

One man’s temper tantrum to feel powerful is having devestating consequences

No bone spurs detected.

This obscure law is one reason Trump's agenda keeps losing in court Lawsuits challenging Trump policies raise big constitutional questions, but they also rely on a law that requires the government to follow the correct procedures when changing course.

Protect this law at all costs !

I'm not trolling, just trying to understand. How would your suggestion work in a low level, long-term risk situation where no status of "disaster" is ever consider except for maybe in hindsight after the damage is realized?

Exactly... He's a fool

What a foolish child

Still guilty.

IMO The R's would snap him up if he flipped. They only care about loyalty to dear leader nothing else

🚨GPT MATH FAIL🚨 I tried the new WhatsApp integration for Chat GPT that was released yesterday, and it got simple ADDITION wrong?! (Not sure what model is behind this service)

31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 19 = 353 days

*NOT* 363

#chatgpt #fail

How?

Works for me.

These Times Demand Courage We are already learning who will stand up to Trump and his reckless enablers and who will kowtow out of fear

Smart words from @davidfrum.bsky.social reflecting on Mika and Joe: “I do not write to scold anyone; I write because fear is infectious. Let it spread, and it will paralyze us all. The only antidote is courage. And that’s infectious, too.”

Unfortunately the goal posts have moved. More nuanced and sophisticated frameworks have emerged to assess "AI" systems based on their capabilities & interactions. My interest is in the effect it will have on humans & our view of Truth when confronted with the coming tsunami of AI generated content.

2/ This may have been a nice sounding way to wrap up the article, however, Heller knows (and Saplakoglu knows) that purpose and mistake have little to do when discussing co-evolution... the organism can either survive and replicate or it can't.

Fish Have a Brain Microbiome. Could Humans Have One Too? | Quanta Magazine The discovery that other vertebrates have healthy, microbial brains is fueling the still controversial possibility that we might have them as well.

1/ This was a great article by Yasemin Saplakoglu! But the last 2 lines were surprising where she quotes Heller: "Why not?.. I’m not shocked anymore that they are there.” The more interesting question, he said, is: “Are they all there for a reason, or are they there by mistake?”

Yep, that's what happens when you sane-wash fascism and then bend the knee in advance. Never again. I'm done with them

Not trolling.... I'm wondering if you've been interacting / testing the latest models? I'm constantly surprised by them... at times it's hard to believe I'm not interacting with a human! Also, do you think the time is near or far when we won't be able to distinguish between an LLM model and a human?

Elon Musk not only provided hundreds of millions of dollars to the Trump campaign, but he did it in ways that were quite underhanded. I explore the extent of his ratf*ckery in today’s piece: https://buff.ly/3Vo6vza

I stopped watching even one minute of these two cowards and fakes the very minute they announced they'd kissed the ring, and I'm never going back. MSNBC needs to send the two of them over to Fox now.

Exactly. I gave up on them the day after the election
