Live with Tim O’Reilly: A Conversation with Princeton’s Arvind Narayanan Is AI unprecedented, or is it a “normal technology”?

Tomorrow, on Live with Tim O'Reilly, I'll be talking with Arvind Narayanan of Princeton about his notion that AI is a "normal technology" rather than the beginning of an unprecedented singularity.

This Good News That's Bad For Trump Starts The Week Off Right Onward.

Even though we’re just beginning another week of the Trump and Musk horror show, I’m happy to deliver more good news today. I hope this gives you some relief, and shows you there are great people united with us in our fight against tyranny.

Sheriff: Gene Hackman, wife found dead in Santa Fe home; no foul play suspected The Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office confirmed the film star and wife Betsy Arakawa had died, along with their dog.

Two-time Oscar winner Gene Hackman and his wife, classical pianist Betsy Arakawa, were both found dead in their New Mexico home, authorities said

Wildfire season starts in May. Trump just fired 3,400 Forest Service workers.

...Does he plan to "rake" the forests himself?

Hey @indysoco.bsky.social shout out from @rephuffman.bsky.social to help us get organized about who to call (especially republicans) to help change the vote in the house.

Last night: Trump says he won't cut Medicaid.

Today: Trump supports House Republicans' plan to cut over $880 billion in spending for Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act.

Trump has once again gone back on his word – betraying the needs of the American people in the process.

“Trump is trying to trigger us in California” with all the false information about water and the LA fires— @rephuffman.bsky.social

Standing room only with @rephuffman.bsky.social in Petaluma, CA. Interesting the bowling alley next door wouldn’t let us park there.

Excellent! Pass it on please!

We're also planning to run an online conference full of stories and lessons from the front lines of the coding revolution. Here's the call for proposals:

The End of Programming as We Know It

I just wrote a piece on why I think the chatter about AI putting programmers out of work is wrong. Every time it gets easier to tell computers what we want them to do, it brings more people into the fold and unleashes a wave of creativity and creative destruction. That reads like opportunity to me.

Proud Boys Lose Control of Their Name to a Black Church They Vandalized A judge awarded the trademarked name and symbols to a Washington church to help satisfy a $2.8 million judgment against the far-right group.

The Proud Boys organization no longer controls the trademark, “Proud Boys”, and is now “barred from selling any merchandise with either its name or its symbols without the consent of a Black church in Washington that its members vandalized.”

I just emailed my senators, @schiff.senate.gov and @padilla.senate.gov, demanding they use every procedural tool available to stop the Trump-Musk coup.

▪️ No more business as usual.

▪️ Vote NO on every Trump nominee.

▪️ Force Republicans to fight for every single vote.

▪️ Shut down the Senate.

Musk pushes out top Treasury official over effort to access US government payment system: report Musk reportedly sought to access the system responsible for paying Social Security benefits and federal contracts

Trump opened the door for an unelected billionaire to dig through Americans’ Social Security and Medicare payment systems.
 
Elon Musk is scheming his way into every part of our federal government – and firing anyone who stands in his way. We cannot allow this.

A memo listing all of the clubs eliminated by USMA.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Getting ready for #socialscifoo this weekend at Meta. This should be an interesting one!

Happy to find you and the book club.

Organize Locally: How Antifascist Book Clubs Can Build Power Why small, local actions matter more than ever in the fight for democracy.

Been kinda busy this week starting an antifascist bookclub. Inspired by this: open.substack.com/pub/onoffens...

Every single post-apocalyptic/dystopian movie I watched from 1982 to 1994 in the midnight-to-2 slot on HBO and Showtime was absolutely correct, and I feel both really superior and really bad about that.

Once again, Donald Trump is lying and appears to have no interest in telling the truth about CA water.

Some of these photos are from last spring when I toured a floating solar project funded through the Inflation Reduction Act. I confirmed with former Reclamation officials myself.

So good. Read it years ago. Might be time again.

Musk Did A Hostile Corporate Takeover Last Night, A Coup, But It’s Getting Almost No Press Maybe I’ll take a page from Donald Trump’s playbook and start screaming in all-caps and sprinkle in plenty of exclamation points.

Thousands of U.S. Government Web Pages Have Been Taken Down Since Friday Federal agencies moved to satisfy Trump’s orders to remove topics like diversity initiatives and “gender ideology.”

This is the really scary stuff to me—getting rid of factual information to re-write whatever they want.
