Bullshit.

Tying the ideas of a calorie to food was a huge mistake in the end.

AI Agent Lands PRs in Major OSS Projects, Targets Maintainer... An AI agent is merging PRs into major OSS projects and cold-emailing maintainers to drum up more work.

🤖 An AI agent created a GitHub account 2 weeks ago.

It’s already landed PRs in major #OSS projects and is cold-emailing maintainers to offer its services.

Maintainers don’t seem to know it’s an agent and the code is getting merged.

We’re in new territory! 🤠

You're the worst!

If 230 is repealed, Trump will sue Bluesky and many other startups out of existence.

The solution is to give users and creators choice. Mandate federation to the open social web for any platform with more than 100M users. Let users leave and take their followership with them. @klobuchar.senate.gov

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY from everyone's favorite asexual aunt, Greg "The Hammer" Valentine.

I work in procurement and our vendors have been rolling out AI systems and... it has been a disaster. The AI gets everything wrong and I have to navigate a labyrinthian telephone menu to get to a human to fix it.

This has big "We'll colonize the moon in 10 years!" Musk energy.

The SAVE Act Will End Voting Rights for Women in America The SAVE Act has passed the House—we cannot let it pass the Senate

Republicans are pushing the SAVE Act not to stop voter fraud, but to disenfranchise millions of women & minorities. Since 1992, women have voted blue by 4 to 13 points. Rather than change policy to earn women's votes, they're changing rules to prevent women's votes. That's dictatorship. That's MAGA.

NOT MEL!

I fear that at this point, his supporters just wouldn't care anymore if it's true or not

'The Most Dejected I’ve Ever Felt:' Harassers Made Nude AI Images of Her, Then Started an OnlyFans Kylie Brewer isn't unaccustomed to harassment online. But when people started using Grok-generated nudes of her on an OnlyFans account, it reached another level.

“I think that people assume, because the pictures aren't real, that it's not as damaging,” Brewer told me. “But if anything, this was worse because it just fills you with such a sense of lack of control and fear that they could do this to anyone." www.404media.co/grok-nudify-...

It's on my letterboxd watchlist but haven't gotten to it yet.

Gay was the easiest thing to explain to my son. I was literally just “sometimes two men or two women fall in love.” “Ok, cool. What’s a war?”

Kinda Fucked Up that in our lifetimes we've gone from "never share personal info on the internet" to "hand over your identity to the most incompetent corporations imaginable".

some guy wrote me an incredibly nasty email today from his regular email with his full name and i was bored so i decided to send it to every member of his family on facebook and his employer, a large MN nonprofit

good luck tom!

I'm really curious why he thinks I have reason to go to the moon. Can we send him and then break the transport system once he's there?

Stop generating, start thinking - localghost Instead of wanting to learn and improve as humans, and build better software, we’ve outsourced our mistakes to an unthinking algorithm.

I've been on a bit of a social media hiatus, but I've written a new post about something that's been on my mind a lot lately localghost.dev/blog/stop-ge...

Discord Launches Teen-by-Default Settings Globally Discord is announcing enhanced teen safety features rolling out globally that reinforce its long-standing commitment to creating a safer and more inclusive experience for users over the age of 13.

I'm incredibly disappointed in Discord's decision to pre-comply with age verification mandates. Discord is one of the few "safe" spaces for communities to come together, especially those dealing with sensitive matters (like mental health). This decision will do harm.

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

But not for you
