As someone who has reported on AI for 7 years and covered China tech as well, I think the biggest lesson to be drawn from DeepSeek is the huge cracks it illustrates with the current dominant paradigm of AI development. A long thread. 1/

Oklahoma amends request for Bibles that initially appeared to match only version backed by Trump Oklahoma has amended its request for 55,000 Bibles to be placed in public schools that initially matched a version endorsed by former President Donald Trump.

While the Bible thing is bad the report that they are only using Trump Bibles has been refuted. We need to be better at sharing correct information.

But in its panicked retreat from the system it spent years building, Meta may now be putting billions of users at risk. Just because Meta deleted that line about hateful speech causing offline violence doesn't mean it isn't true.

With Threats to Encryption Looming, Signal’s Meredith Whittaker Says ‘We’re Not Changing’ At WIRED’s The Big Interview event, the president of the Signal Foundation talked about secure communications as critical infrastructure and the need for a new funding paradigm for tech.

Signal is famous for knowing as little about its users as possible. The app isn’t hoarding metadata, tracking you, or showing you ads.

President @meredithmeredith.bsky.social sees a shift underway as the monoliths of big tech lose popularity and the old economics of Silicon Valley become brittle.

Surprised the New York Times didn’t write this first.

Most of them were always dicks — arrested in adolescence. Now dicks with money, in the midst of a profound midlife crisis.
