I can't reiterate this enough: the two AIs talking to each other were DESIGNED to do so. It was a tech demo of what was possible, but not two unrelated systems figuring out how to chat in secret. They designed them to recognize each other and switch to a more efficient method. That's all.

Having served as a Moscow correspondent in the early days of Putin's reign, this reminds me of how the Kremlin took over its own press pool and made sure that only compliant journalists were given access.

The people who think DEI and merit are incompatible don't understand ANY of the process. These are not mutually-exclusive priorities. Worse yet though is the active belief that anyone who COULD meet a DEI requirement CAN'T meet a merit requirement. We have words for those kinds of assumptions...

Is there any way on here to make a feed/list of my own that's private? I can't seem to find the equivalent. I follow a lot of people on here, but I'd really like to make a feed of just people I know personally, for those who've migrated from other more social places.

Seems account cloning is very much a thing here. Somebody copied @nphstuff.bsky.social's account, including reposts, and is messaging people personally.

Saw a Cybertruck with a "I bought this before Elon went crazy" bumper sticker today, and nope. That cutoff was before the Cybertruck was available. This just means you were okay with a LOT of bad stuff the everyone else already got out on at the right time. Sticker rejected.

Okay, I watched halftime. I don't follow Kendrick outside of what filters out to everyone, and my auditory processing disorder makes the pace of rap lyrics hard for me. Still thought it was fire, packed with symbolism so thinly veiled it might as well have been a wardrobe malfunction.

I need to be clear: I'm not on Truth, and I have no idea if this is real. But my bigger problem with this is the fact that I live in an age where I can look at a post like this and not immediately know whether or not it's real.

As someone who has reported on AI for 7 years and covered China tech as well, I think the biggest lesson to be drawn from DeepSeek is the huge cracks it illustrates with the current dominant paradigm of AI development. A long thread. 1/

In his ethics filing, RFK Jr. says he will keep receiving a 10% cut of contingency fees in vaccine litigation against Merck. The deal has made him over $2 million so far. As HHS Secretary, Kennedy will have substantial authority over Merck, one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world.

This Cybertruck did not crash. It made a heartfelt and perhaps ill-advised gesture that, in the moment, might have been misinterpreted as a crash, but we should not rush to judgement.

I'm at a point in my life where filmmaking gets me emotional. Not the content, per se, but the process. This scene hit me hard when I watched it, but this breakdown hit me even harder. #Severance youtu.be/VOeFQ2ghR3U

I had no fewer than three nightmares last night, ranging in a wide variety of forms, that I was late for and missed my annual checkup with my doctor this morning. I naturally then arrived 15 minutes early in reality, like I always do without fail. My brain loves to torture me.

Look, I know we all want to assume the worst of Elon's gesture on that stage, but is it possible he wasn't actually doing a Nazi salute, but merely heartwarmingly saluting his Nazi sympathizer grandparents?

So I know a Threads complaint is the lack of a live view over the preference of an algorithm. Meanwhile I know an advantage here is the opposite. But is there an equivalent of a better mix? I do like to see things that aren't just INSTANTLY NEW at the top. I'd like to see what I missed. Thoughts?

The LA fires are a Library of Alexandria moment for entertainment. We have no idea how many irreplaceable bits of media were lost. Unpublished screenplays and manuscripts and demo tapes and notes and recordings and memorabilia and drafts, to name a few. Loss we'll never comprehend.

Looked up handheld sewing machines on Amazon. Found inexpensive ones with HUGE numbers of high-star reviews. Found they had all been combined with cheap items like greeting cards or pens, and all of the reviews were for those. Absolutely evil. And I can't find any way to report these.

I have to be honest: I don't see the issue with the Kia logo. It's fine. It looks cool. Tons of car logos are literally just symbols that aren't readable in any way. I don't understand the problem.
