Carrie is incredible and everyone should watch her talk about the impacts of the politicization of health and science librarianship in the US!

It's really extraordinary to get a 1 a.m. order from the U.S. Supreme Court on litigation that didn't even exist until 8 hours ago. That suggests that (at least 7 of them) are taking this Constitutional threat seriously.

Nothing has changed about the dangers of large language models but that doesn't stop me from enjoying the tech bros meltdowns over DeepSeek. Drinking their own Kool-Aid and then trying to come up with all sorts of explanations for why no "the Chinese aren't innovating."

The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave after they resisted turning over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s staffers. America, please stand with us—we are fighting to defend this country!

Pete Hegseth sometimes sounds like a radicalized alt-right guy from 2017. The reason likely has to do with the way those activists reshaped conservatism. I wrote about that and where it could lead here: michaeledisonhayden.substack.com/p/why-does-p...

Why does Pete Hegseth talk like a Charlottesville-era white nationalist?

American conservatism is mutating.

How did we get here? People ask. 1. Corporate PR masquerading as journalism, i.e., journalists doing their marketing and PR for them. 2. Academics who know better joining the hype and grift and misleading the public.

Friends, for something to be open source, we need to see 1. The data it was trained & evaluated on 2. The code 3. Model architecture 4. Model weights. DeepSeek only gives 3, 4. And I'll see the day that anyone gives us #1 without being forced to do so, because all of them are stealing data.
