Instagram boss: 16 hours of daily use is not addiction Instagram's Adam Mosseri faced questioning about the impact of his platform on minors.

It's not at all shocking to me that an exec with vested interest in a certain outcome and without any expertise in addiction would say something like this. It's weird to me that his response has any weight at all.

If a psychologist specializing in addiction said this, *that* would be shocking.

This is clever social engineering, especially given the amount of tech folks that are unemployed and desperately seeking jobs right now.

It certainly feels that way.

OpenAI regularly violates the copyrights of artists, writers, open source engineers, and other creatives when it trains its models on their data, but cries foul when other models are trained on *their* data.

Kurt Cobain death: Why unofficial researchers say it's not suicide Kurt Cobain's death has long been ruled a suicide, but a new team of independent researchers are claiming that's not the case.

You can't fuck with Gen X like this after 30+ years. The eldest Gen X-ers have weak hearts from all the leaded gas fumes they breathed in when they were young, and *this* could be what finally does them in.

Point of no return: a hellish ‘hothouse Earth’ getting closer, scientists say Continued global heating could set irreversible course by triggering climate tipping points, but most people unaware

Incompetent tech execs and venture capitalists are more interested in dumping resources into realizing AGI, which is almost certainly unattainable, than they are in putting time and resources into solving *the* primary existential crisis of our time.

If you followed me solely to get a follow back, then you should just un-follow me. I don't engage in gaming algorithms to build social capital (I don't even know if that's the correct phrasing).

The duality of every vibe-coded project you see and every LLM-generated pull request you review being dangerous insecure messes and then turning around and hearing every respected figure in the web dev community saying these tools are now better than human developers
