Elon Musk is the citizen of three different countries. South Africa, his home country. Canada and the United States. Elon maintains citizenship in all three. He is an agent provocateur in every one. He doesn't live in the U.S. on the same terms as the rest of us.

Got the cause and effect backwards.

You don't talk like Ossoff did unless you're going to win by 10-12.

Yesterday, Facebook whistleblower Sarah Wynn Williams revealed that even though she sat in silence on stage at the Hay Festival with me & Tim Wu, Facebook sued her anyway. EVEN THOUGH SHE DIDN'T SAY A WORD!! 🤯 4/

So Huffpo is just a branch of Trump's press release arm? No journalism, no reporting, just repeating what he says uncritically?

HuffPost@huffpost.com · last wk.

“Europe has just agreed to release a massive amount of their heavily stocked Diesel Oil,” Trump posted.

NEW - Conservative orgs are filing records requests by the dozens at public universities, demanding documents from climate researchers. @lesleyclark.bsky.social @corbinhiar.bsky.social & I have uncovered more than 100 requests, a campaign targets/allies say is an effort to derail climate litigation

Now ask her who she's voting for. She'll still vote GOP down ballot. They all will.

Wow! Pissed-off Trump voter says America is not great again, and she regrets her vote for Trump.

The trans women in sports panic has got to be one of the GOP's most successful manufactured culture war campaigns. Somehow they got a lot of people who would otherwise say they support trans rights to somehow fear "fairness" in sports. It's a non-issue.

7/ An expert explained that losers like me are the bettors that sports betting companies are most interested in. A small group accounts for a large portion of revenue. And what keeps losers loyal? VIP programs. The more you bet, the more you get: free bets/swag/fancy dinners.

Tech companies suddenly decide they can, in fact, moderate content on their platforms after all

Fundamental Generative LLM problems: 1) Context gets too deep causes model collapse. 2) Bias to find a path causes hallucinations. 3) It can't invent anything fundamentally new. 4) It's impossible to prevent prompt injection. There is no separate control and data plane. This is a number 4.

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

I know who he can ask.

Elon has already spent over $5 million backing Ken Paxton. Nearly all of it is filling Texans' feeds and mailboxes with vile anti-trans slop. www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

I think it's just this. They aren't thinking hard about it and deciding on a fiendish "who are you going to vote for" or "two wings of the same bird" scheme. They're just absolute idiots who hate the idea of standing for anything. Just blindly do the process, make compromises, run fundraisers.

i really think democratic politicians are all just addicted to making compromises. they can't get enough! they would broker a compromise between jeffrey dahmer and his victim to let dahmer eat just a forearm

Republicans: I don't care if I can't afford to put gas in my car or feed my family, because it's more important that I virtue signal by screaming about communism. I have no idea what communism is but the propagandists told me its bad, and my identity as a Republican is more important than anything.

The dishonest things that BBM has done in the pursuit of all that traffic are genuinely mind-blowing. One of the wildest: it's often created completely fake writers, and slapped their names on vast amounts of content that's completely AI-generated

As I said the first time Trump proposed tariffs: this is precisely why he likes them! It makes everyone come to him on bended knee, begging for exemptions. It makes economic survival dependent on his whim. That, not any economic theory, is the whole attraction. Mafia boss thinking.

Ken Vogel@kenvogel.bsky.social · 4w ago

While Sen. Katie Britt was publicly defending Trump's tariffs, she was privately seeking exemptions for 4 companies operating in Alabama that could be hurt by tariffs, according to emails between her staff & Trump's US Trade Representative, obtained via FOIA by @wsj.com. www.wsj.com/opinion/kati...

Okay so @defector.com has had an odd glitch since the site redesign a couple of weeks back where the wrong photo and headline are often put together on the main page and I was going to ask them about fixing it but this just happened and as far as I'm concerned they have to leave it as is.

That's the dream.

Are they going to next legislate that all time travel needs to be viewing only? The generative AI that all these companies are selling can't do this, it can't ever become intelligent. The structure of it means it's just not possible. But AI companies have sold it based on the lie that it could.

Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com · 4w ago

We watched social media become the Wild West and waited for legislation that never really came. We can’t repeat that with AI. We need guardrails. Congress is finally debating safeguards, including stronger oversight and a human-controlled “kill switch.” Jeffries is calling for urgent action…

SILICON VALLEY - The CEOs of OpenAI, Anthropic, and GrokAI have released a statement agreeing that claiming artificial intelligence "could potentially kill all humans" sounds much more awesome than just admitting that they blew a fortune on glorified chatbots.

Votesafe by Elon Musk is not safe. It's there to steal your voter information to do election interference. If our democracy was functioning this illegal fraud and interference would land Elon in prison.

I am serious that today’s journalism ecosystem would be fooled if they played war of the worlds on the radio. It would be on CNN within hours
