Today I defeated Bayle on my #EldenRing RL1 run. It took 89 attempts. Now I have only Promised Consort Radahn on my All Remembrances RL1 run. I don’t know how I’ll ever get him, but I thought that about a dozen bosses on this run, and managed to get them, so… hopefully I find a way.

Ok, quick thread on why DeepSeek is blowing up assumptions about LLMs and maybe the whole (U.S.) AI industry. DeepSeek is an AI lab funded by a Chinese hedge fund, their AI code is open source, meaning freely available to use, which most big U.S. models (aside from Meta’s) are not. That’s the start…

I defeated Malenia on my #EldenRing RL1 run today. That was a win I thought I’d never get. 379 attempts required. Now I’m down to just Bayle and Consort Radahn on my all Remembrances run.

Cannot stop thinking about how Octavia Butler wrote a book in 1993 about climate change. It opens with deadly fires in LA in 2025. In the story, a fascist President has just won office with the campaign slogan "Make America Great Again." She was a modern day Nostradamus. If only we'd listened.

"I don't remember there being so many big fires in the past!" "Weird to see so many fires this time of year!" Wow, yeah, it is almost as if something is CHANGING.

organisations need to have policies about wearables and about AI transcription of meetings and how to turn them off for meetings that count as confidential - especially if a topic wasn't on the agenda but needs to be covered - and how to sanitise recordings done by accident/block devices that can't

I very much agree w/this. It’s why Invisible Rulers focused on factional realities, group identities, & divergent publics created via the influencer-algorithm-crowd triad — not problems of fact. Group identity negotiation happens within the factions, with no easy way to see across the expanse.

Deleted my Instagram and Threads accounts this morning. I'm not going to participate in a social media ecosystem that doesn't do basic community moderation. www.theverge.com/2025/1/7/243...

These are the key facts everyone needs to know about climate change, according to @yaleclimatecomm.bsky.social. I shared this post across 7 different social media platforms, including FB, LI, Mastodon, Threads, X and Twitter both pre-and post-Musk. Here's how their engagement stacked up. 🧵

Good. We need to be on-shoring more, and owning more of our own production and industry, not less... www.nytimes.com/2025/01/03/u...

I defeated Messmer on my #EldenRing RL1 run today. That just leaves Malenia, Bayle, and Consort Radahn for my All Remembrances run (yes, Bayle technically doesn’t count and my lean on that fact at some point, LOL). Malenia seems impossible for RL1, but I guess I’ll start trying her next.

In this Philly diner, Adrian still means Talia Shire. But they do know this: if you can’t admit that Americans are too retarded to work in tech, you should step back and fuck yourself in the face.

Chatted with Adam Lowenstein for The Ink about how to fight an epidemic of bad faith. Not sure I have the answers here, but a lot of good people are trying to figure it out… the.ink/p/how-to-fig...
