‘DO NOT MENTION ALPR USAGE’: How Cops Are Trying to Hide Their Use of Flock

“DO NOT MENTION ALPR USAGE TO THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE. DO NOT MENTION ALPR USAGE IN YOUR REPORT OR COMPLAINT."

Have LLMs had a big impact in the Sovereign Citizen movement? They have a machine that can yield pseudo-law gibberish with citations and footnotes so much faster now. A cutting edge of bespoke legal theory.

People sleep on Telecomix but they were out here doing a lot of constructive work while “Anonymous” folks were busy trying to sell tshirts and mouthing off for clout on twitter.

Parce que j'ai des coups de nostalgie, voila.

Barrett Brown isn’t a good person. He has stalked/harassed my family for years, using anti-queer/anti-trans rhetoric to try to intimidate myself & my wife. He has threatened to kill friends of mine while using homophobic slurs. And this is just the tip of the iceberg. In short, fuck Barrett Brown.

👀 “Brown, a journalist and former member of the hacktivist collective Anonymous, sits opposite me. He lights a crack pipe packed with ‘ice’, the local version of meth, takes a long drag, and exhales towards the floor to avoid blowing smoke in my face.” dispatch-media.com/palantirs-gr...

I have previously written about one reason that billionaires find the AI story so compelling: at root, many billionaires just don't believe most other people are actually, fully real. How could they? Achieving billionairehood requires that you inflict pain on vast numbers of people. 13/

Jurassic Park is a perfect franchise because the question "why would they keep doing this" is answered by simply asking yourself if you would want to go see a dinosaur. Of course you would want to see a dinosaur.

A “sperm data layer” by an AI company sounds extremely Boston. Missed opportunity to call it SperML, though.

One of my friends ranked everyone in his class in terms of how often they replied to other’s posts in the discussion forum, like chess so you get a higher Elo for replies from high Elo students. He tracked popularity over time to demonstrate how his takes had gotten worse as the semester progressed.

A new trend I've noticed is *many* independent researchers asking for arXiv endorsement on Reddit. None of them share their drafts (until commenters demand it), just "here's my endorsement code, can you approve me for cs.SE / cs.AI?" I suspect that LLMs are encouraging this practice. Very strange.

Our statement on the UK gov't's demand that all content on all devices sold or used in the UK be scanned, on the presumption of nudity, using a dystopian combination of age verification & content scanning. This proposal will not safeguard children. It endangers us all. signal.org/blog/pdfs/20...

Each time I pass this collapsed lamppost it’s disassembled just a bit more, parts missing or splayed out across the grass. It feels like decay, watching nature reclaim life, first with scavengers, then with fungus. All the human ants nibbling away at the lamppost carcass to support their colonies

Fashion may look more diverse today, but the ideal body type hasn’t changed in 25 years. A new PNAS study co-authored by NetSI PhD student @diesagar.bsky.social analyzed 793K+ fashion images and found diversity often comes through already-marginalized models. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

My PO said I had to fill out this form for 3 of my papers for the RPPR of my NIGMS MIRA grant in February, or I could not include them in my progress report. It looks like things have gotten even worse since then.

So I can’t just mail a liquid. Like if I go to USPS with a puddle and some stamps they’ll tell me no. But what about a cardboard box filled with liquid? Is there a maximum sogginess the postal service will accept? How moist can my mail be?

🚨❤️‼️ ATTENTION LOVERS ‼️❤️🚨 this idea has been floating around in my head for a very long time and i’ve finally turned it into something real :’) loveletter.pics lets you anonymously browse and share love letters. looking for submissions !! this art project will be even more fun w/ more to read.

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them
