$12K camera kit that he knows is safer with a stranger than with a federal officer.
Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Played some Hytale with @prootzel.bsky.social on stream today, and came away with a lot of positive thoughts for it. It already feels extremely solid for this being it's first early access release. Can't wait to see what the modding community does with it.

Warhammer maker Games Workshop has barred staff from using AI to actually produce anything and insist that while a “few” senior managers are experimenting with it, no one is currently excited about the technology. https://bit.ly/4jE9myV

How is this not inciting violence?
Why must they remind ICE that they have immunity?
One of their agents just shot a killed a woman in broad daylight and they’re effectively telling them to go ahead and do whatever they want because they’re above the law.
Be safe Minneapolis.

But it shows that the ICE version of the story is an absolute fucking LIE. As is standard for them!

Suspending Doctors Without Borders is definitely a thing healthy countries do
Israel says it will suspend several humanitarian groups, including Doctors Without Borders, in 2026 for failing its new vetting rules for groups working in Gaza. Some international organizations have said that Israel’s rules are arbitrary and could endanger staff.

If you've now made three posts doubling down on your use of GenAI, and your argument now boils down to "we're not even using it for that much" then maybe don't use it?

All current AI is built on LLMs. And, while LLMs can get "smarter" (ie: better at predicting a valid answer to your question), it is not possible for them to ever achieve AGI.
We aren't going to get the computer from Star Trek. But we will get better (but still mostly incorrect) email summaries.

Frontier labs like OpenAI and Anthropic need vast amounts of data in the race to achieve AGI. That’s why they’re spending billions on it.
Meanwhile, the data companies are banking on AGI requiring countless new datasets to get there.
