He says the same shit over and over again. You'd think they'd be prepared with a comeback. They could also open with "You have said ..."

I think the reporters coving him are just scared of getting banned or not called on again if they are too adversarial.

The β€˜Most Massive Attack On Free Speech’ Is Happening Right Now, And The Twitter Files Crew Is MightyΒ Quiet For the last five years, we had to endure an endless, breathless parade of hyperbole regarding the so-called "censorship industrial complex." We were told, repeatedly and at high volume, that the Biden administration flagging content for review by social media companies constituted a tyrannical overthrow of the First Amendment. In the Missouri v. Biden (later Murthy v. Missouri) case, Judge Terry Doughtyβ€”in a ruling that seemed to consist entirely of Twitter threads pasted into a judicial rulingβ€”

Top engineers at Anthropic, OpenAI say AI now writes 100% of their codeβ€”with big implications for the future of software development jobs | Fortune AI coding tools are getting more sophisticated. But if coders stop coding, what happens to software development jobs?

I’m more curious about what percent of their code is reviewed by humans since that is the systemic risk.

While Claude Code is impressive tech, I’ve seen it make incredible mistakes almost every other day on basic tasks. I can’t imagine the bugs lurking if you trust it completely.

City governments have seemed reluctant to adopt new technologies. Liberal mayors have an opportunity to not only provide more efficient cost effective services but also experiment with innovations that could help those who are most in need of government assistance. Politics gets in the way.

The DJI Romo robovac had security so poor, this man remotely accessed thousands of them DJI may have fixed it now.

He just wanted to control his DJI Romo robot vacuum with a PS5 gamepad.

But it wasn't just one robot that answered his call. Thousands of them, all around the world, reported for duty.

When he showed me, I couldn't believe my eyes.

Web Tiles Tiles are composable web docs and apps that can safely be used in arbitrary contexts and assembled from multiple sources to carry out complex user interface tasks.

Hot off the internets β€” there's a brand new kid on the DASL block: Web Tiles!

It's still early days, some key features are missing, and there are some rough edges, but you can publish tiles to AT and play with the idea!

It’s not a viable market product in a market where big tech platforms control distribution and tip the scales towards an endless supply of teenagers working free.

Every media company should be chasing the open social web to break that control wide open and reshape the market

Your Google Chrome browser just got a useful autopilot feature - here's how it works Google's new Auto Browse feature aims to handle your digital chores by taking actions on your behalf.

Auto Browse's focus is on mundane, repetitive tasks; the "digital laundry", so to speak.

A robot you might want to hug? Sprout is a humanoid robot designed to be β€œphysically safe and socially approachable.”

Sprout stands just 3.5-feet tall and is light enough for one person to carry around.

There was an article doing the rounds a few days ago, with photos like this one showing the scale of China's wind and solar installations, which were already unbelievable. But somehow this SAR satellite image makes their progress in renewables even more surreal.

Apple: You (Still) Don’t Understand the Vision Pro The first live sporting event was broadcast in the Vision Pro, and it’s a big disappointment. The experience could be amazing, but Apple actively ruins it.

"Just let me sit courtside and watch an NBA game. I don’t need a scoreboard, I can look up and see it. I don’t need a pre-game or post-game show, I can simply watch the players warm-up. I don’t need announcers, I’d rather listen to the crowd and the players on the court."

The most effective political weapon the GOP currently has is painting Dems as protectors of those defrauding the government. Claiming fraud doesn't exist will not work. Dems can point to GOP protecting white caller criminals defrauding Americans but what they can't do is run away from this debate.
