Obvious attack on the First Amendment, and also--importantly--an attack on the second amendment
One asshole did a stupid thing, and the completely legal firearms owned by other protesters became evidence of domestic terrorism

My guest this week is Rebecca Watson of Skepchick! In this clip, we discuss a clip from Alex Clark's show where they argue women's suffrage was a mistake.
No, really.

From the global RAM shortage driving up console prices to job loss in the industry, gaming is shaping up to be one of the AI boom's biggest casualties. www.wired.com/story/gamers...
Oooo that is what was happening! Passed by and was curious… seriously sounds like a counter walk with council members should be organized by someone (gestures wildly at alx skeets community)
Sounds awfully like we should buckle in for a forthcoming AI-centered redux of the 2015 debate around ISP throttling/net neutrality …
Ok but what is your concrete call to action for the average person to combat this?
Here is @aoc.bsky.social thankfully telling everyone exactly what to do to stop a concentration camp from being built where you live.
Please take it to heart and take action.

A new whistleblower report alleges that a former DOGE engineer told co-workers at his new job that that he “previously had unrestricted ‘God-level’ access to the SSA’s systems” & that he possessed copies of SSA’s “Numident” & “Master Death” files, which he planned to use at his new job. 3/10/26…1/
Last Wednesday, US tech companies gathered at the White House to sign a nonbinding, unenforceable pledge to offset data center energy costs. But energy bills are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the costs of hyperscale data centers people see in their backyards, writes Jenna Ruddock.
Stripping anonymity from the internet would constitute one of the most sweeping rollbacks of civil rights in recent history.
A nice Big Think article with Sven Nyholm, including a few of the themes from his new Hackett book, The Ethics of Artificial Intelligence: A Philosophical Introduction (out March 23) bigthink.com/philosophy/t...
Did you also run such prompts through one of the recently released walled-garden but law-oriented AI tools (e.g. Westlaw Advantage)? Of course, there is utility if the more advanced, open use AI tools enable such research, but more tailored AI may offer a semi-solution in the interim …
If you want to talk about LLMs being of use to people who aren't Musk and Altman and Zuckerberg, you have to talk about *power*, and how others could have it. You have to describe a credible alternative political economy. The bits and bytes don't actually mean shit without that.
After spending a few months playing with work related AI, this video made me feel very seen….
BREAKING: @aoc.bsky.social just came out swinging in the House E&C hearing against dangerous & misguided "age verification" legislation (aka online ID checks) that would force everyone to upload government ID or get a face scan before accessing content or posting online.
Video incoming. This is big

Just the executive chairman of defense tech company Anduril trying to buy Wired, cool cool cool.
UPDATE: Another $5.6 million from ICE to Palantir, in part for its continued work on ELITE (Enhanced Leads Identification & Targeting for Enforcement), which we revealed in January to be the Palantir tool ICE uses to find neighborhoods to raid. Read about it:
The author of a new study told CyberScoop he's "very worried,” describing deanonymization capabilities of AI as a “large scale invasion of privacy.” via @derekbjohnson.bsky.social cyberscoop.com/ai-deanonymi...
“The Trump administration is not removing government from AI regulation; it is concentrating governmental power at the federal level … The effect is a regulatory regime simultaneously more intensive and less transparent, less democratically accountable, than the rulemaking it displaces.” 🙌🏼
Experts have warned that it is likely impossible to fully insulate consumers from the extra power demand coming from the vast expansion of data centers to run AI.
Today @cogwbur.bsky.social published my op-ed with Neil Richards. We argue in favor of the proposed MA privacy legislation with strong data minimization rules. Surveillance advertising leaves both consumers and small businesses worse off. It only helps Silicon Valley. www.wbur.org/cognoscenti/...
