“People using AI for decision support over-rely on it, favoring the AI’s decision over the one they would make independently. …The city’s policy should be that chatbots may not be used to support such decisions, full stop,” EFF’s Jacob Hoffman-Andrews told the Voice of San Francisco. thevoicesf.org/san-francisco-c…

@Yeti Although it's less well known, Dark Star is by far my favorite of films that Carpenter had a part in. Super low budget, good comedy, and introspective.

AG Bill Barr’s father gave Epstein a job at one of the most elite boys’ prep schools in NYC. BANNON: Bill Barr’s father was the one who met Epstein once at a bookstore. Epstein was from Coney Island, had no college degree, and yet B He taught math or was a tutor. After that, Ace Greenberg’s son picked him up. Next thing you know, he’s at Bear Stearns. Then he’s a partner.
And as another coincidence, Bill Barr was attorney general when all of this resurfaced. It was under his authority that the Bureau of Prisons reported Epstein was “murdered”—excuse me, “committed suicide.”
One time we had a problem with someone stealing some of our mail out of the mailbox. So my son ordered a giant bag of sugar free Haribo snacks. It didn't stop the thief, but it made him feel good.
(It took legal action to stop the thief, and the cops messed that up, so no charges. Just no more stolen mail.)
Multiplier update; SCOTUS hands Trump another prime legal win; Bondi purges more DOJ lawyers; Dems demand Epstein docs; NYC floods; and even the Times admits the tranny issue broke their coalition.

Once I watched an interview from many decades ago where a civilised person asked a Kalahari Bushman about his society. One questions was: 'Do you have Chiefs?'. The man became quiet for a while to absorb the concept of 'Chief'. Then he said: 'We have many, many chiefs. In fact, Everyone is Chief of themselves'.

More than 20 accusers of Jeffrey Epstein testified in the Southern District of New York on Tuesday in what Judge Richard Berman called both "a matter of law" and "a measure of respect for the victims."
16 women emotionally recounted their experiences being allegedly sexually abused and, for some, being raped by Epstein when they were underage girls, many over a period of several months or years. An additional seven testimonies were read via statements presented by their lawyers or legal counsel.
Before the accusers spoke, Assistant US Attorney Maurene Comey motioned to dismiss the indictment served to the now-deceased Epstein on charges of sex trafficking of minors and conspiracy, and Epstein's lawyers argued that the circumstances surrounding his death should be investigated in court.

Interesting, that Typhoid Mary desert. I hadn't heard that she made deadly ice cream. Just that she refused to cook for people. Even after the NY health Dept. told her to stop.
It was better pay cooking, than maid work. Eventually they sent her to a NY island (N. Brothers) to live in isolation.
They probably could have just removed her appendix. Where the Typhoid germ was harbored. A lot of germs stay safe there.
@Max_Imum I screwed up a sentence there. It should read... She refused to stop cooking for people. Even after the health Dept. diagnosed her as a disease carrier.
She just went to work for another family, and then back to cooking for them. I guess her famed dessert then took more lives.
The social media company likewise tracked when #adolescent girls deleted selfies, "so it can serve a beauty ad to them at that moment," according to Wynn-Williams. Other examples of Facebook's ad lechery are said to include the targeting of young mothers based on their emotional state, as well as emotional indexes mapped to racial groups, like a "Hispanic and African American Feeling Fantastic Over-index."

Yes, my apologies if this came across as a jab at you. That wasn't my intent at all.
I just thought it was funny because I'm absolutely positive I've done this cycle at least once in my life... if not many more. I read all of your long threads every time I see them (inevitably when someone RTs the first post), and I love them. Then I realize I'm not following you directly, and that seems silly because I love your content. Then I get blasted, remember why I didn't follow directly, and unfollow.
Some time later, the cycle inevitably repeats... and I feel obligated to make fun of myself for repeating it.
"Google needs to keep up the story that it is growing. Once Google stops growing, it becames a "mature" company and its PE ratio will fall from 20:1 to something more like 4:1, meaning an 80% collapse in the company's share price..." - @pluralistic
Not to be the I said so guy, but it's near a decade ago that I first started muttering about maybe not calling Google a startup anymore - which is essentially & rather insanely what they're still doing.
How do you continue growing when the majority of the world's population already uses your products? Magically inventing more customers (at least, faster than the birth date) is not going to happen.

I've just finished reading _Technofeudalism_ by Yanis Varoufakis. If he's right, then it's politically urgent to escape from the clutches of Meta, Google, Amazon and the like as soon as possible.
Varoufakis' arguments reminded me of _Chokepoint Capitalism_ by Rebecca Giblin and @pluralistic, though according to Varoufakis the dominance of Amazon and the like has killed off capitalism and is a form of feudalism. I still want to compare these two analyses more carefully.
But Varoufakis' argument is: these platforms have managed to lure people in to work for them for free, and with every post and update on their platforms, these exploitative and massively dangerous companies grow stronger and harder to defeat. On the other hand, if the people take back social media and the internet more generally, there's a real opportunity for building a counter-movement with these technologies.
The lesson I take from this: getting people to quit the capitalist platforms and join the #Fediverse is part of political organisation, and possibly an important part if you consider the way people are tethered to their Instagram and Tiktok.
Let me repeat this: Convincing and helping comrades to quit the capitalist platforms and join the Fediverse is an important form of revolutionary political organisation. ✊
@pre @ajn142 Yep. And valid perhaps eight years ago when I was still also posting on Twitter (mostly to raise awareness of Mastodon and help move people over). Not so much once the place becomes an actual Nazi bar. Also, if you haven’t, read my post. This goes deeper than that.
Oh wow, that's awful. Being called uncomradly by the people you care for. Sorry you saw yourself forced to leave. 😔
In 2017, I hadn't even heard of Mastodon yet. But in 2025 not being in the Fediverse? Heck, in 2023 not being in the Fediverse (and that's still generous)?
