When the hacker expressed disgust at the child abuse images on the server and threatened to report them to the FBI, agents had to get into a video chat with the hacker to convince him they WERE the FBI.
We continue to live in the stupidest possible timeline.

I know this is unorthodox but we should see if we can run Calvin's dad for president. Get Bill Watterson in here and do a Gorillaz sort of thing
Happy Calvin's Dad day to those who celebrate
As an IR professor, it's depressing that this is outperforming all others as the best theory of US foreign policy
Yep. You’re going to say “fuck tha police” one day and a month later you won’t be able to get through TSA.
Caitlin KALINOWSKI over X I resigned from OpenAl. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together. This wasn't an easy call. Al has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I'm proud of what we built together.
OpenAI head of robotics just resigned over company deal with the Pentagon saying…
“Surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got”
Not sure expanding the Stanford Experiment to the entire country was a good idea.
Part of the reason "Breaking Bad" is one of the greatest TV shows of all time is that its central thesis, which feels true, is that there is a monster inside all human beings, and given the chance to come out, it will, indeed, come out.
Anyway, here's an article about a Let the Monster Out Factory.
We shouldnt just end money in politics we should murder it.
Promising next-gen battery chemistries getting lapped by steady incremental improvements in existing chemistries? Many such cases
lol I was having trouble falling asleep last night specifically because there's so many moving parts of the US government keeping thousands of people from dying every minute and it's all in control by a bunch of people who think knowing how things work is bad and gay
I don't think it's ID verification fwiw it's just a checkbox asking if you're over 18 or 13
which makes it entirely pointless anyway lol but I think it passed so lawmakers can say they did "something" without doing ID verification
So now computing itself is supposed to be age restricted?
Honestly, @davekarpf.bsky.social , I'm in if you are.
If you ever want to read a paper for free and can't find it otherwise, email the lead author and politely ask for a copy. You will not be bothering the person. You will in fact make their whole entire day. I have had scientists get so excited I asked they sent me everything they ever published.
Trading halt in Korea. Dayum.

Literally, "abolishing."

"War is hell" is a warning, not an excuse.
I wrote a new post on anonymous credentials and how to build them. All of this is in service on a longer future post on how these will fit into age verification systems. blog.cryptographyengineering.com/2026/03/02/a...
Raytheon Executive: I know you’re skeptical about buying American again. But hear me out. The MIM-104 Patriot is the only surface to air missile system with a proven track record of success against the US Air Force.
Danish Defense Minister: Continue.
Post U.S. Central Command @CENTCOM O ... OIran's IRGC claims to have struck USS Abraham Lincoln with ballistic missiles. LIE. / The Lincoln was not hit. The missiles launched didn't even come close. The Lincoln continues to launch aircraft in support of CENTCOM's relentless campaign to defend the American people by eliminating threats from the Iranian regime. FACT CHECK
The US denies Iran’s claims of a strike on USS Abraham Lincoln.
HOLY FUCK IT'S REAL??? SHE'S REALLY THAT BASED????
Russell Vought continues to exercise the White House's Office of Management and Budget's illegal override of Congress's 2026 spending on American research.
Need to figure out a way to fight this.
Scorpion and Pepe the frog.
disappointed that this scorpion has betrayed his base of frogs.
I'm not going to say Harper is singlehandedly responsible for Trump's victory, but this *is* the phenomenon that resulted in so many Americans having no idea what they voted for.
Across mainstream media, pundits refused to draw a clear distinction between Ds & Rs and lay out Trump's agenda.
OpenAI Fires an Employee For Prediction Market Insider Trading

Sam Altman tweet: Tonight, we reached an agreement with the Department of War to deploy our models in their classified network. In all of our interactions, the DoW displayed a deep respect for safety and a desire to partner to achieve the best possible outcome. AI safety and wide distribution of benefits are the core of our mission. Two of our most important safety principles are prohibitions on domestic mass surveillance and human responsibility for the use of force, including for autonomous weapon systems. The DoW agrees with these principles, reflects them in law and policy, and we put them into our agreement. We also will build technical safeguards to ensure our models behave as they should, which the DoW also wanted. We will deploy FDEs to help with our models and to ensure their safety, we will deploy on cloud networks only. We are asking the DoW to offer these same terms to all AI companies, which in our opinion we think everyone should be willing to accept. We have expressed our strong desire to see things de-escalate away from legal and governmental actions and towards reasonable agreements. We remain committed to serve all of humanity as best we can. The world is a complicated, messy, and sometimes dangerous place.
My goodness.
