Join me at Open Hardware Summit in Berlin this May.

Tickets are affordable and you'll come back a little more inspired that a better world is possible.

We're also still looking for sponsors who want to get their products in front of the open source community!

The fine folks at @moreperfectunion.bsky.social did a great job summarizing the history of the Bohemian Club and the work of some of its members.

TL;DR they helped gut social security and organized a sketchy conservative astroturf group here in SF.

The Bohemian Club is a secret society for the rich and powerful here in San Francisco.

Yesterday @drboguslaw.bsky.social dropped a list of its members.

Today we are releasing a searchable database of its members cross referenced with open source intelligence.πŸ”Ž

r/analytics
β€’ IOh
We just found out our AI has been making up
analytics data for 3 months and I'm gonna
throw up.
Support
So we've been using an Al agent since November to
answer leadership questions about metrics. It seemed
amazing at first fast answers, detailed explanations,
everyone loved it.
I just found out it's been hallucinating numbers this
entire time.
Our VP of sales made territory decisions based on
data that didn't exist. Our CFO showed the board a
deck with fake insights. The Al was just inventing
plausible sounding percentages.
I only caught it by accident when someone asked me
to double check something. I started digging, and
holy shit, it's bad.

Let’s recap just the past day at Ohio State University:
1) The head of their ObGyn department was found to be getting quarterly payments from international child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein
2) OSU’s top donor was confirmed to be a co-conspirator of Epstein’s
3) Now this. πŸ‘‡

Attempt buying it (or at least
a sizeable chunk of it), without

Woke up to two different data breach alerts.

I don't want your "free identity protection" I want you to stop fucking up.

This isn't going to change until companies have to pay for their failures.

Sick of YouTube ads? I know I am!

If you use a Roku to watch YouTube videos on your TV check out the Playlet Roku app. It strips YouTube videos of their ads and works surprisingly well.
