I mean privacy aside (and this is /me/ saying "privacy aside" y'all), this sounds like literally the worst coffee meeting in the history of coffee meetings. I don't know any of these people and I know everything I need to know about them from this paragraph and I am already miserable by proxy.

During a coffee meeting, a Limitless pendant hung from Wilson’s chest; his Meta Ray-Bans were in their case. Beside him, Pat Santiago, founder of Accelr8, a coliving startup, had a Buddi pinned to his collar that he uses to gather intel at networking parties and pitch nights. No Cap processes the data he captures with his collar recorder to surface early-stage investments, Santiago explained. “The AI can see patterns that we can’t.”

i was out to drinks with one of the reporters of this story, just catching up and shit-talking, when suddenly she remembered to tell me she was recording everything sfstandard.com/2025/08/05/a...

I feel like every single day I need to post a reminder: if you ask an LLM about itself it DOES NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ITS INNER WORKINGS and WILL NOT TELL YOU ANYTHING ACTUALLY ABOUT ITSELF. It just (as it always does) will make up some plausible sounding answer.

I don't think there's much use in asking users of a social network to behave differently — platforms are too big for norms like that, people mostly aren't posting to debate — but similar charges of meanness/insularity accompanied Twitter's rise, and arguably described a reason people *liked* it!

Before going for the reflexive dunk, I think its worth asking if we really want to chase away influential people who have been posting here in reasonably good faith. (Ducks).

The use of Mozilla's "do not track" feature was apparently, instead, *Able To Be Used As A Metric By Which To Track People*. Y'know, eventually my brain is just going to flash boil and shoot out my ears as steam like I'm a cartoon.

The best thing about America is all the freedom. You can also have the opportunity to get health care if you just file a lawsuit and a judge hears your case and decides in your favor.

Five years ago today, Jews were murdered at a Pittsburgh synagogue just a few days after an avid Trump supporter was caught sending pipe bombs to the array of political figures who topped Trump’s oft repeated list of “enemies of the people.”

Note that it's Franzen, George RR Martin, and <authors> taking legal action against LLMs training on their work. It's not publishers. Publishers are staying silent and biding their time. Authors and publishers' interests are NOT aligned on generative AI, just as actors and studios aren't.
