two things can be true: chatbots are gross and weird and dangerous…and also it’s ok to want a Jarvis on your computer.
YOU SHOULDN’T TRUST (pre mindstone) JARVIS EITHER!
But goddamn a polite “natural language UI” (as Tony put it) that is increasingly on point and capable…is kinda fucking cool, bro

maybe unpopular opinion but my wife and I confirmed that we would both rather not be woken when It Happens (though fireworks and dogs might do it anyway) because I want to be well rested for the best day of joyscrolling of all time. plus all the nice food and such we will have.

I think we’ve got better and more culturally-varied street food than I could have imagined, cool jackets galore, and drugs that make us think we’re really fast and strong before they kill us.
we're getting all the downsides of cyberpunk (social alienation, ruthless hyper capitalism, digital mass surveillance state) but none of the promised upsides (cheap street food, cool jackets, super drugs that make you really fast and strong before they kill you)

Wild to think that it is totally conceivable that trump could have gotten in office, got super pissed that Putin didn’t obey him (and/or someone whispered something in his ear that stuck), and the US arsenal flooded into Ukraine…leading to Trump actually getting the Nobel Peace for real.
Alas.

jack asked if i would sketch up a poster to tell people in nearby neighborhoods about the partnership between flock and ring, and this is what i came up with. it can be printed on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.
![YOUR RING CAMERA IS AN ICE AGENT
[a drawing of a ring camera with an ice agent dragging a person away in its field of vision]
"In October of 2025, Amazon's Ring announced its partnership with FLOCK, an A.I. surveillance group that freely shares its footage with ICE, the secret service, and the navy. Flock customers can use A.I. tools to sift through footage to assist in all manner of operations (like raids and deportations) without a warrant. Unplug Ring! Melt ICE! Protect your neighbors!

in the spirit of "no bad ideas in brainstorming", i submit:
DEPORT ICE
as a fun slogan option.
i mean, is there any other group of, let's say, 30k people that you could deport and get a *better* return on investment vis a vis domestic peace and security and justice?

hey, @ed3d.net , you appear to be an enthusiastic user of Claude, presumably at some paid tier.
I had been using the free tier without issue for the last month and then just today upgraded to pro so I could start saving some memories I’m using. Granted, I asked it to do two laborious, arguably

If the moderates can get behind scrapping ICE and CBP and reconstituting something called "Immigration and Border Enforcement" that is militarized like the Coast Guard and with no independent interior arrest authority, that sounds great.
Gallego ("moderate" Dem) is going with "ICE needs to be totally torn down" (not "reform and retrain"). This is a pivot point for the country on immigration. You have been seeing this in the data for a while, and now officials are snapping to the public opinion www.gelliottmorris.com/p/ice-is-a-7...
