The idea that 'AI can speed up dev cycles' would require a premise that dev cycles are long because people are taking forever to make assets (so you could replace them with shoddy slop and it'd go faster), which you could only believe is true if you've never actually tried to make a video game

Australian academics refuse to attend US conferences for fear of being detained ‘When academics fear travelling or partnering with US institutions, the impacts ripple through the entire global knowledge ecosystem,’ one says

The reason the IRS has no data-leaking API is not because they don't know how to schedule a "hackathon." Instead it's because the API:

1. Likely violates the Privacy Act of 1974
2. Is not within the IRS's mandate
3. Would be a huge target for attacks against the privacy of all Americans

Massive, Unarchivable Datasets of Cancer, Covid, and Alzheimer's Research Could Be Lost Forever Days before Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced that 10,000 HHS staffers would lose their jobs, a message appeared on NIH research repository sites saying they were "under review."

Tech Won't Save Us is turning 5 years old

Later this month, @techwontsave.us turns five years old. It’s hard to believe I’ve been making the show for this long!

Over that time I’ve interviewed hundreds of guests to spread critical perspectives on tech far and wide — and I know it’s had an impact.

Relax, nobody knows what you're thinking.

Be concerned, they made up whatever they want and believe you're thinking that.

1. Stop assuming people announce all their activism on social media.

2. Stop demanding people announce all their activism on social media.

3. Stop deriding people for not announcing all their activism on social media.

4. Dunking on people on social media isn't activism and isn't praxis.

consensus from everyone I know is that right now feels BAD. little worried bout that

DoD personnel are advised to ignore the recent OPM email titled “What did you do last week.” The Department of Defense reviews personnel performance and manages responses through official channels. DoD employees should avoid responding to the OPM request until further notice.

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration staff have been advised not to respond to any email requesting work accomplishments unless an official directive is issued from within NOAA. Employees should await authoritative guidance before taking any action.
