Agreed. If I want to see doom and gloom announcements about the current administration I'll go read Huffington Post or NY Times, thank you very much.

Linda's tenure was an overwhelming success if you judge it according to what her assigned goals probably were: 1) Moved X out of woke censorship into a highly liberal (in the permissive sense of the word) free speech platform, while at

This makes sense from a national security perspective. China is a unified AI strategy, and America can either lead or fall behind, in which case we will all be using Chinese models that bend reality towards CCP's preferred idealogy (lo

This had to happen. The state of affairs prior to this ruling is that any of 700 district judges could unilaterally block the president from exercising his authority under the constitution pending a review, including matters of national sec

This is a stupid clickbait layer on top of a neutral informative announcement: https://www.army.mil/article/286317/army_launches_detachment... It's just a way to re-link the military with the tech industry, w

Paul Graham tends to be against Silicon Valley participation in the defense industry, while Marc Andreessen is all for it. Palmer Lucky makes a very good case why AI applications in military are a very good thing, and I tend to agree with h

It's ridiculous and offensive to call someone a nazi who is clearly not a nazi considering there are literally people targeting Jews and their supporters in this country [1] [2] [3]. [1] https://apnews.com/article/

This line of worry has never panned out. There are two points: 1) AI/automation will replace jobs. This is 100% certain in some cases. Look at the industrial revolution. 2) AI/automation will increase unemployment. This has never

Sam Altman is retaliating against Musk for Grok and Musk's lawsuit against OpenAI, trying to ride the wave of anti-Musk political heat, and figure out a way to pull in more training data due to copyright troubles. If they launch, expec

Sounds like a great idea. TV media is more and more becoming a frontend for X posts anyway.

The solution to this is trusted third party age verification services, such as SSL signing authorities, which are baked into browsers.

Can somebody please explain to me why anybody would want to leave X for Bluesky other than the fact that Elon Musk undid the previous regime's censorship efforts (which almost always targeted a particular political viewpoint) and himse

Agreed. I ran a small GPT chatbot on Lambda through API Gateway with a dynamodb storage backend and don't recall incurring any cost (or if I did, was just pennies per month).

Maybe they should go private then, like Musk did with Twitter.

Is there any information on this either way?

That the tide turned against Musk when he undid the old Twitter censorship regime which was targeted towards primarily American conservatives. Since then, a lot of folks, including here and on major subreddits like news and politics, have o
