Good on Penn Jillette. Having to come to terms with your entire political identity and philosophy being wrong is not easy and most people could never do it.

lol Malcolm Roberts asking why Bluesky is exempted from the social media ban. He claims it could be "political bias" because it is a "left wing hangout" and X is included and it's a "conservative hangout".
eSafety says Bluesky has been assessed as "very low risk" with around 50,000 Australian users

As someone who was alive in an era where technology actually made things better and was worth the investment, it has been galling to sit through *almost two decades* of seeing the entire sector turned into an infinite money glitch.
One thing I learned over the weekend from talking to finance people is that they assume the AI bubble is going to burst and their issue is figuring out when so they can time their trades right.

“Once you’ve seen how these systems are cobbled together – the biases, the rushed timelines, the constant compromises – you stop seeing AI as futuristic and start seeing it as fragile,” said Adio Dinika... “In my experience it’s always people who don’t understand AI who are enchanted by it.”
Meet the AI workers who tell their friends and family to stay away from AI
When the people making AI seem trustworthy are the ones who trust it the least, it shows that incentives for speed are overtaking safety, experts say

I am by no means a prominent public intellectual, but my inbox is increasingly filled with messages from people who have been convinced by sycophantic chatbots that they have discovered revolutionary theories that entirely upend our scientific understanding of the universe.

I’m *still* feeling the effects, financial especially, of that decision some asshole suits made. They should legit count themselves blessed that by month 9 of unemployment I had not self-immolated on Riot’s front steps. But the studio made an enemy for life and I will die spitting venom about them.

Switched my gaming PC to Linux, all my steam games work without a hitch, even SteamVR needed only a few small tweaks.
I think the year of Linux on the desktop might be finally here!

The key to why the universe exists may lie in an 1800s knot idea science once dismissed
In 1867, Lord Kelvin imagined atoms as knots in the aether. The idea was soon disproven. Atoms turned out to be something else entirely. But his discarded vision may yet hold the key to why the univer...
