New rule if they were in the Epstein files we shouldn’t have to see their face or hear from them ever again.

I guess it's fitting that it's a reimagined, worse version of someone else's artwork

The industry aims to build a superintelligence by assimilating unthinkable volumes of data dating to the dawn of the written word, yet apparently tweaking the models to account for separate regulations across several states is a level of complexity that would paralyze the whole project...

MIT's response to the Trump admin's proposed "compact" is excellent and should be a model for other universities. orgchart.mit.edu/letters/rega...

A master class from MIT in responding to authoritarian overreach:

Your “premise … is inconsistent with our core belief that scientific funding should be based on scientific merit alone.
… America’s leadership in science & innovation depends on independent thinking & open competition for excellence.

Same experience. Dug around and around to figure out how to cancel. Then they charged me anyway. "Customer Service" would do nothing. I like @jameshoffmann.bsky.social but these guys are bad.

if i had the opportunity to ask a question of anyone in the administration, given this "war in chicago" messaging, i would ask them how many americans the president intends to kill in his war

Dear Adobe,

I don't require an AI assistant jumping in and offering to help scan and summarize a one-page PDF that requires a simple signature. Fuck right off with your intrusive Clippy wannabe nonsense.

Warmest regards.

Looks like the 1970s design for a new pocket protector.

Post from "The Rundown" July 18 at 5:30 PM · DuckDuckGo has introduced a new feature allowing users to filter out AI-generated images from search results, addressing growing concerns over synthetic content overwhelming authentic visuals online. The filter can be activated through a dropdown in the Images tab, search settings, or by using a dedicated AI-free domain: noai.duckduckgo.com. The system relies on curated blocklists, including uBlockOrigin’s Huge AI Blocklist, to detect and suppress AI-generated imagery. While not perfect, it significantly reduces synthetic content visibility. This move sets DuckDuckGo apart from competitors like Google and Bing by giving users direct control over their exposure to AI-generated material. Source: TechCrunch

@mmoore305.bsky.social welcome to Bluesky. It is better here.

I'm cautiously more optimistic than Filipe but the "It couldn't happen here' energy among Dem party elites is startlingly strong.

This is what oligarchy looks like.

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important

Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone

this is incredible stuff. most state DOTs would spend tens of billions on highway expansions to try and see numbers like this (that wouldn’t even pan out anyway thanks to induced demand lol)
