Trump Cybersecurity Policy Is Indistinguishable From A Foreign Attack Last year almost a dozen major U.S. ISPs were the victim of a massive, historic intrusion by Chinese hackers who managed to spy on public U.S. officials for more than a year. The “Salt Ty…

The Trump administration's cybersecurity policies are indistinguishable from a foreign attack.

In many ways they're worse, given they're wrapped in layers of phony operational efficiency.

you can convincingly portray this whole financialized AI edifice as a mortgage crisis-style house of cards without even mentioning that the fundamental product is unreliable, based on outright theft, and people don’t like it.

even when far rightwingers are having an extremely positive experience on all fronts they’re still able to hallucinate a situation where they’re the victim

Austerity isn't governance. Stop writing fawning news articles about tough choices and how they're bearing up under the heavy burden of leadership.

Budgets are moral documents and shortfalls are the consequences of choices made to shore up a few folks and leave the rest of us out in the cold.

the nyt posts this stuff like avoiding AI for 48 hours is hard and meanwhile i have literally never once intentionally used an AI program for anything ever

Democrats should hold a press conference and announce that if Mike Johnson has no interest in running the House they'd be happy to do it for him

On a basic publicity level this is one of the most weird and amateurish things I’ve ever seen a brand do, let alone a politician. It looks awful, barely a step above jibjab

This is a big deal… my congressman has been in DC for 24 years and hasn’t held a Townhall since 2012.

His rural constituents are standing up.

The DHS Twitter has been tagging and calling out a local journalist writing on immigration in Chicago. Local journalists covering what’s happening need continual support especially as they write these important stories.

Hank Green did a really good overview into the funding streams, and it seems like Nvidia is lending money to companies to buy their product, and then turns around and leases their own product back from that company.

It seems like a scheme.

The AI bubble will continue to inflate, and will reach a scale few can comprehend. This increases the downside risk that will follow in the wake of it popping.

It's being fueled by two things.

Feels quaint, almost cliché, to say this about a Trump action, but just for the record:

This is all illegal, the President can't simply disregard the laws passed and agencies created by Congress, and both Vought & Trump would be impeached if the Constitution or the rule of law mattered to the GOP.

Maryland soybean farmers who say they sell a large portion of their crops to China tell News4 those sales have gone away this year.

Good. No news outlet should trade the right to do real journalism for the right to get lied to at Pentagon press conferences.

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

It's official — a court ruled that the public's interest in knowing if Elon Musk has a security clearance and access to classified information outweighs any potential privacy interests.

Great FOIA ruling in favor of the @nytimes.com.

Ya think?

They’re building bubbles on top of bubbles

I kind of feel like Katie did just fine in the face of a reporter that was working very hard to rile up Katie.

As homeless rates climb, the Street Dawg Crew helps Utahns by supporting their pets “I figure I can't fix homelessness, but I can at least help some best friends go to bed with full bellies,” said Street Dawg Crew volunteer Micky Baker.

It’s not uncommon for low-income Utahns to prioritize feeding their pets when they lack enough food for themselves.

Genuinely funny the amount of hours and who knows how many scholars have spent trying to tell the story of Vietnam/Iraq/Afghanistan/etc and POTUS just goes up and says “actually it’s because of political correctness” and whole bunch of people believe him
