Some one I know has photos of ICE at the Minneapolis protests this morning out filming the protestors. If you’re out today, make sure to follow steps to protect yourself from identification where possible.

Stop calling it war. These are terrorist attacks being committed by the US government. Every foreign nation should be lining up sanctions.

Sounds suspiciously like something ai slop would say
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella says people should move beyond calling AI 'slop'
"We need to get beyond the arguments of slop vs sophistication and develop a new equilibrium ... that accounts for humans being equipped with these new cognitive amplifier tools as we relate to each other"

AI conversations always end up being Some Guy™️ trying to justify using it but really just admitting that they didn't know there was already a process in place for these things they just weren't privy to it because it wasn't their job

*gets on soapbox* AI is incapable of giving "new ideas" because it's trained on things that already exist. It is only capable of regurgitating what already is, just repackaged slightly differently to suit whatever prompt it is given.
America, you have spoken loud and clear: You do not like AI. But what if AI is the way to restart the world’s idea machine?
We’re running out of good ideas. AI might be how we find new ones.
What if the best use of AI is restarting the world’s idea machine?

People don’t understand that stripping the guardrails of regulation and oversight doesn’t just apply to like better business bureau type shit but also like on a practical level when I get into an elevator I expect that it has passed a safety inspection & that type of security will be gone soon

I mean, if this is the bet they're making they're probably correct, unfortunately
Do they just think there'll never be enough of a backlash for court packing to happen? What is the political theory of the case?

Wild that we just let execs say this shit without consequence
While work-life balance may give you a sense of happiness and fulfillment, it isn’t always realistic, says Walmart executive vice president and chief people officer Donna Morris.
Walmart exec: ‘I’ve never believed in the term work-life balance’—this is the mantra that made her highly successful instead
Many professionals see work-life balance as a non-negotiable. Walmart CPO Donna Morris says people should practice work-life integration instead. Here's why.

y'know, if tech companies weren't so fired up to call every single thing "AI" it would be a lot easier to distinguish "ML spam filter that is well-sandboxed and tuned on your emails" from "giant context and IP-eroding foundation model that makes people paranoid and unhappy"
since the "google is now training gemini on your email contents" thing keeps bumping around here: it's _not happening_. I say this not to defend google but because I know a lot of people that have broken their filtering and made their lives much more annoying from sheer misinformation.
The malwarebytes Google opting-your-emails-into-ai-training thing is not true. The post is based on one bad tweet.
I know anti-tech lamenting is a Bluesky core principle, but please use the same judgement you would for any other clickbait.

I had terrifying conversations with four former CDC officials, Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, Dr. Debra Houry, Dr. Dan Jernigan, and Dr. Nikki Romanik, about the formerly prestigious public health agency.
All of them told me that any information coming out of the CDC can no longer be trusted.

Needing multiple streams of income to stay afloat is a societal failure not a personal one. You should be able to afford a comfortable lifestyle with one job. You are not lazy.

The sad truth is that voting for Hillary wouldn't have avoided where we're at societally. It just would have pushed the timeline a little further. Just like how voting for Biden didn't prevent this, it just pushed it all 4 years further.
Maybe more people should have voted for Hillary doe.
