We wrote ”How to get started building a new CM/ECF. Today.” almost 4 years ago but it’s great to see some actual movement in that direction. www.uscourts.gov/sites/defaul...

Remember the mystery a few weeks ago, about how and why xAI was spitting out people's government names, even people who have only *ever* used a pseudonym professionally?

What a thread. Wherein a DOJ attorney is called to the table by a judge for using AI to prepare (read: hallucinate) citations and quotes in court filings.

The Central Lie of Prediction Markets Polymarket and Kalshi promise the wisdom of the crowds. They deliver something very different.

Wrote about the central lie of prediction markets. How they are the perfect technology for a low-trust society, simultaneously exploiting and reifying an environment in which believing the motives behind any person or action becomes harder. www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

May they rest in peace. And may we all be (a) grateful for their service and sacrifice and (b) pissed that they were put in danger in the first place.

Wilyer Abreu took a 3-2 pitch that was called a strike three. He challenged and dropped his bat at the plate, jogging to first even before the call was overturned. Is that the equivalent of bat-flipping a challenge?

OpenAI Fires an Employee for Prediction Market Insider Trading Prediction markets like Polymarket and Kalshi are big business, and some Big Tech employees are testing boundaries by making trades based on insider knowledge.

www.wired.com/story/openai...

I know the economic theory behind prediction markets actually encourages insiders to trade, to distill accurate information, but what are we doing here?

What Republicans don’t understand is that this guy’s story is the most American possible story. A Vietnamese refugee integrating with Cajun culture, which in turn is the product of 1700s Canadian refugees? This is what makes America great. Diversity is our strength. (Plus, that food looks amazing.)

Americans do not want this. They do not want another war in pursuit of regime change. They want relief from the affordability crisis. They want peace.

The U.S. and Israel started bombing Iran over an hour ago and it looks like the Washington Post still hasn’t published anything on it, which seems very weird.

Maybe they just fired way too many people to have a nights and weekends crew ready for this.

if you believe in any form of free enterprise at all, the idea that the Pentagon can not only cut off your contract but designate you a supply chain risk and prevent other companies from buying from you just because you won't build killbots for the government should be terrifying

Now is the time for solidarity from all the other AI labs… OpenAI, Google, Meta—looking at you.

Good time to remember that Marc Andreessen claimed that he and the other tech broligarchs were forced to support Trump because of the Biden administration's arbitrary regulation and strong-arming of AI firms.

You sound like an unhinged person if you in plain words describe what’s happening, but the Trump admin demanded Anthropic’s AI be able to kill things for it w/out human approval and also do mass surveillance.

Anthropic said no, and now the admin is trying to destroy the company in retaliation.
