screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question). an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question: "there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask. it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same. it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.” there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."

KOSA incentivizes social media platforms to censor.

If you hate arbitrary content moderation, you should hate KOSA.

"Protecting kids" is always the censorship Trojan horse. It's no different here.

Are service dogs allowed on trails in Colorado, even if pets aren’t? Yes. Service animals are allowed in most public places under the Americans with Disabilities Act, though conditions may apply.

In Colorado, misrepresenting an animal as a service animal is a petty offense, punishable by fines up to $500 for repeat offenses.

The replies to Brian Thompson’s last post on LinkedIn — all from before the shooting — are a horror show

Can’t stress enough if you plan to attend a protests, turn your phone off miles from the site & don’t turn it back on until you’re miles away. Go ahead and buy a faraday bag. It’s not crazy.

Welp. It's not a fun conspiracy theory anymore.

What I find so funny about these people is that they won and it’s not enough for them. They’re in power, they control the fate of everything in the country, they took over Twitter. And yet, they can’t help but go searching for the same people that they dislike so much.
