Charity Majors@charity.wtf · last mo.as promised, here is my post on AI and ethics. I think unilateral disarmament in the face of powerful new tools is neither wise nor effective. I think those of us in tech have a particular responsibility to engage, participate and build better solutions. charitydotwtf.substack.com/p/make-ai-bo...
Programming isn't going away, it's splitting in two. Jessica Kerr on Still Burning: "If you want to build a bookshelf, that's a craft. But there's also IKEA." The code-crafting got commoditized. Knowing what to build didn't.
The stakes in this referendum are too high to sit it out. We need to build a solid case, not just for staying put, but for a stronger Alberta within a better Canada. That's why I'm joining other prominent conservatives in making the case for Alberta to lead, not leave. www.leadnotleave.ca
Lead. Not Leave.
A policy initiative for Albertans committed to a strong Alberta within a united Canada.

Big pharma gave us ozempic which is helping people live longer healthier lies. Big pharma gave us PrEp, which has severely curtailed HIV risk. Like yes its money hungry and shitty sometimes.

Any Albertan who had their personal information stolen through the Elections Alberta/separatist data theft should contact the federal privacy commissioner and demand an investigation. You cannot put your faith in any Alberta provincial body at this time. www.priv.gc.ca/en/contact-t...
Contact the OPC - Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada

It has been a week since the public found out about one of the largest personal data leaks in Canadian history. Calls to *do something* are getting louder. Beyond calling a public inquiry, there are eight (8) things the Government of Alberta could do now to begin restoring trust.👇
Jared Wesley@jaredwesley.ca · 3mo ago1️⃣ Pause any move to add a separatist referendum question to the fall ballot. Albertans should not be asked to vote on the future of the province while basic questions remain unanswered about whether the voters list, petition process, or "leave" campaign have been compromised.
People be talking about EVs today and that's like my whole thing so here's what I've identified as The Problem: The idea of being inconvenienced AT ALL overrides the average person's ability to consider whether a small inconvenience in one context might be outweighed by upsides in other contexts.
it's honestly so funny we figured out how to make matrix math so powerful it damages your brain to read the result of the calculation. from that perspective its an incredibly funny result.
caves of qud: dark calculus you: this is silly the real world: these matrix multiplications cause measurable brain damage
This is something I worry about with all kinds of auto-notes. On the one hand, being in the moment and not having to worry about note-taking yourself is useful! But what do you lose when someone or something else is taking the notes? substack.com/inbox/post/1... via @biblioracle.bsky.social

passkey is imho one of the most important security developments that touch consumers and also one of the worst consumer rollouts i ever witnessed because every company involved treats everything like an enterprise customer solution

slop is something that takes more human effort to consume than it took to produce. When my coworker sends me raw Gemini output he’s not expressing his freedom to create, he’s disrespecting the value of my time

The Spaceshipper 🚀@thespaceshipper.com · 5mo agoIn the eight years I've been running this account, I've constantly heard people say, “I'm sick of spin-offs, reboots, remakes, and sequels—I want original, good sci-fi.” Well, here it is: Project Hail Mary. If this movie isn't a hit, I'm going to sulk. ☝️
I'd also like to nominate "SPECS OFFENDERS". Thank you, I yield my time.
