Which as we know now is a complete lie

The name of this platform is secret desire.AI. It’s not just “an AI Chatbot and image platform,” it is an AI porn platform.

Insufferable

“therein” … 😳

Not for long. It will soon be Grok-ified

I’m guessing it’s always been this way.

So. Weird.

This is not it.

It's impossible to overstate how much of what ICE is doing on the ground reflects this completely preposterous conflation of hostile *speech* and hostile *conduct.*

The First Amendment protects—or, at least, is supposed to protect—the former up and until it's a "true threat," which none of this is.

Altman also said they believe their new “consumer devices”will drive revenue growth. I think they are severely underestimating the levels of distrust and negative reactions to personal AI devices, especially if they automatically record everything going on around them.

Screenshot of an email that says: “our AI turned your paper “selling selves: “into a shareable comic.”

Got this email notice from Academia.edu today informing me that my PhD dissertation has been turned by AI into a “shareable comic.” 🤣
Never been precious about the diss, still stand by the work. An ethical approach would have allowed people to opt in rather than opt-out + unilateral publication.

A retired policeman posted a Charlie Kirk meme. He spent a month in jail. The 61-year-old Tennessee man plans to sue after authorities dropped charges over a political Facebook post. Free-speech advocates say it’s a symptom of a wider crackdown.

It's insane that this even needs to be said.

“A free country does not dispatch police in the dead of night to pull people from their homes because a sheriff objects to their social media posts,” @adamsteinbaugh.bsky.social speaking to @willoremus.com.

ICE and CBP Agents Are Scanning Peoples’ Faces on the Street To Verify Citizenship Videos on social media show officers from ICE and CBP using facial recognition technology on people in the field. One expert described the practice as “pure dystopian creep.”

New: Videos show ICE/CBP agents are scanning peoples' faces on the street to verify citizenship. ICE has tool to instantly look up unprecedented number of databases with just a photo

“I’m an American citizen so leave me alone”

“Alright, we just got to verify that”

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

SNAP benefits expire in one week.

Just wanna highlight that Seattle Public Schools teacher salaries start at just over $60,000, less than half what a new Seattle police officer will make after six months under the new contract.

Cops get bonuses for two-year associate degrees; teachers, of course, have to have finished college.

like in the past two days he started illegally tearing down the white house to build a ballroom paid for from money extorted from american companies and demanded that the government secretly pay him a quarter of a billion dollars for investigating him for crimes he more or less admits to

Peter Diamandis tweets: "800,000 layoffs in 2025. 10,000 in September alone tied to AI. Jobs are disappearing fast. But here’s the truth no one wants to say: It’s the start of a new gold rush... for those who learn how to build with the machines, not fight them." Elon Musk replies: "Working will be optional in the future. There will be universal high income."

man who tried to slash social security spending promises communism is coming if you just ignore the enormous job losses this year due to the technology he's developing for private profit

Was chatting at No Kings with a woodblock printmaker who had a beautiful sign, wishing we had a public wall where we could post all of our signs…a Chinese protest tradition it would be lovely to reproduce here. Trying to think how you could maintain something like that. 

“.. They describe the legions of masked immigration officers operating in near-total anonymity on the orders of the president as the crossing of a line that had long set the United States apart from the world’s most repressive regimes.”

Remember April 2009 when about 250,000 people took to America’s streets in Tea Party rallies and the media was like “oh man, the Dems are in trouble?” Approximately 28X as many people took to the streets to protest Trump yesterday. Didn’t even make the NYT front page.

The last and only previous time a president granted criminal clemency to expelled members of Congress was when some were covered under Andrew Johnson's amnesties for ex-Confederates.

“The Government sometimes makes brief investigative stops. . . . If the officers learn that the individual they stopped is a U. S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, they promptly let the individual go.”

“Deplorables” was a scandal for years and she wasn’t even in the government yet. This is the White House Press Secretary, whose salary is paid by the American public.

Trump's insistence that Joe Biden was president on January 6 raises new questions about Joe Biden's memory.

79. American citizen.

The wounded knee thing is really Trumpism distilled to its essence. It’s not enough to be able crush people who can’t fully defend themselves, it’s not enough to actually crush them, you also have to love and admire those who do the crushing otherwise the Trumpists’ delicate feelings are injured

If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.

Earthquake check, went to Twitter just to see. Huge amount of tweets - waaaay more than in the old days. If they are mostly bots there is a shocking number of them (all very active timelines too)…or are there really that many people in the Bay Area on Twitter?
