There is simply no ambiguity in what Elon Musk is arguing and endorsing here.

Tons of peoples' Claude chats are exposed on Google. Cryptocurrency keys, API keys, login credentials, legal discussions, more. This happened with ChatGPT last year. And Claude too. There's clearly an ongoing issue with search engines indexing peoples' AI chats www.404media.co/tons-of-peop...

Tons of Peoples’ Claude Chats and Creations are Exposed on Google

Claude users are creating public share links, but probably don't realize that means their chats are now ending up in Google searches where anyone can dig through them.

I'm starting to think the reason I don't post more positive stuff online is because most of my positive experiences happen offline.

Brought under the KKK Act of 1871, the lawsuit says that officials in the Trump administration, fueled by anti-Palestinian animus, conspired with private anti-Palestinian groups to terrorize and make an example of Mahmoud...

We continue with our talks! Now up: Brendan O‘Brien talking about "Iroh: syncing terabytes of data, peer-to-peer“ and sharing Iroh 1.0 as a local-first success story at scale 🤩

When people picture running a large language model, they picture a data center. For a lot of teams that is a bad trade. You give up control over when models change, where your data goes, and what hardware runs your workloads. MeshLLM has a novel way of solving this! www.iroh.computer/blog/mesh-llm

In Berlin at @localfirstconf.com ! Come say hi!

Marco Rubio says the goal of the war in Iran is now to return everything “back to the way it was” before Trump started the war. So after all that, the mission is apparently to undo the damage.

While the AI bubble is primarily a *material* phenomenon (driven by the calculation that bosses are easy marks for a sales pitch for replacing workers with apps), there is an inescapable ideological component to it: the desire for a world without people in it: pluralistic.net/2026/05/13/v... 1/

Blacksky is building ~the intercommunal net~ where communities create virtual spaces collectively managed by their members -- from moderation policies to recommender algorithms. We're hiring a Founding Engineer (Rust) @ $180K base who will report directly to me and lead our atproto implementation.

Judge O’Connor stated from the bench that he is giving maximum sentences to the Prairieland sentences because “the state wants to send a message to anyone who shares a similar ideology.”

We just released the first stable version of iroh, v1.0! Read about it: www.iroh.computer/blog/v1 We're super proud of where we landed with iroh's 1.0. Since version 0.35 it feels like we've entirely replaced the "engine underneath". Are you a fellow key-dialer? Come tell us how you use iroh!

Iroh 1.0 - Dial Keys, not IPs

Iroh 1.0 is out. Now is the time to build.

The reporting on OpenAI and Sam Altman I've been working on for the past year and a half, for @newyorker.com, with Andrew Marantz: www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Sam Altman May Control Our Future—Can He Be Trusted?

New interviews and closely guarded documents shed light on the persistent doubts about the head of OpenAI.

I think the NSA’s insistence on pure MLKEM in TLS also suggests the timeline is a lot shorter than we thought. To me, it suggests they have similar predictions internally. Which is a shame because we were starting to get some cool new primitives: OPRF, VRF, etc.

Over the last two years we spent tons of effort into writing a #rust QUIC multipath & NAT traversal implementation. Beyond iroh, we're now ready to share it as a building block for others to use! www.iroh.computer/blog/noq-ann...

Got @iroh.computer to work on the smallest device yet. An ESP32 with 4MB of application memory and 4MB of heap. This is a horribly patched version, but nothing drastic, just reducing deps.

I remember when I made my FB account, I found it really boring and surprising that I couldn't customize my profile. I was like this is the yellow pages???? Now everything is fucking boring. And costs money.

While this absolutely sucks, we are going to see a lot more places implementing universal global age verification over this next year, because the number of states and countries legally requiring it has gotten to the point no one can keep up anymore.

Claude: "This failure is unrelated to my changes." Me: "that's ok just fix it anyway" Sometimes it really does feel like working with an intern.
