There are a lot of details in here about Zuck releasing a half-baked product, but one thing that really stands out is just how weird these folks are. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/09/t...
Meta’s A.I. leaders also incorporated OpenClaw into their own lives. Mr. Friedman hooked his agent up to cameras in his house, where it would instruct him to do things like drink water to stay hydrated.
“It sent me a snapshot frame of me drinking a bottle of water and said, ‘Good job,’” Mr. Friedman said at a recent tech conference.
In another instance, while talking to his agent about ways to get better sleep, OpenClaw took over Mr. Friedman’s self-driving Tesla and redirected him to a grocery store to pick up magnesium pills. At Meta’s annual developer conference last month, Mr. Zuckerberg said he had connected his agent to cameras in his martial arts gym so that it could critique his fighting form.
Yet there were safety concerns. Agents could sometimes go rogue or take over software apps. In February, one agent took over the work computer of a Meta safety researcher, deleting her emails uncontrollably.
“I couldn’t stop it from my phone,” Summer Yue, the researcher, wrote on social media. “I had to RUN to my Mac mini like I was defusing a bomb.”

Here's my band backing up Mirah on "Light the Match" at Deep Cuts in Medford, MA on 10/4/26. I'm pretty sure I listend to the CD-R i had with this song on it more times than it has been streamed on Spotify (which is a lot) and it was an honor (and so fun) to play it with Mirah at a hometown show

friends, I've always been DIY or die but I think I am ready to admit to myself that I need a booking agent ideally this would not just be a standard "i book mid-level bands" agent but someone who can kinda bridge both music world and speaking world i play punk shows and give keynotes 😅 any ideas?

For #BannedBooksWeek, it's a good time to remember that book bans are moving online in the form of censorship laws, age verification laws, and attacks on Section 230, often framed as "protecting kids." Follow @fightforthefuture.org and take action at BadInternetBills.com to protect freedom to read!

BREAKING: We're hearing from a member of the WSU faculty that a notice went out a few minutes ago saying the TORCH conference we covered in this story "will not proceed this weekend as planned." Reasons for this are unclear, as is whether the event has been cancelled or merely postponed.

I understand that paywalls are annoying, but the grim reality for everything right now, is if you want something to exist, you have to put money towards it. Every creative person is having their life's work hoovered up by AI companies. Layoffs never end. Private equity keeps making things worse.

Yesterday, I picked up @evanurquhart.bsky.social from the airport, exhausted from his busy reporting trip, and dragged him to Deep Cuts to see Mirah and @evangreer.bsky.social! Mirah was incredible (as always), Evan G’s set was fun and her band was amazing (the violin!)

Public opinion doesn't DO anything and is not correlated with policy. BUT it can be a resource if people want to organize.

Pete Hegseth’s propaganda push is failing. No matter how many journalists he bans from the Pentagon, the press is still finding scoops. But that could change, unless politicians stop supporting crackdowns on leaks and restrictions on the open internet.

Hegseth is a propaganda flop. Don’t let Congress throw him a lifeline
Whistleblowers and the open internet are key to undermining official half-truths, but lawmakers keep trying to weaken both

Principled struggle doesn't mean letting people off the hook. It doesn't mean no accountability. It doesn't mean tolerating oppression or abuse of power. But it does mean struggling together in a serious way for the purpose of collective liberation, rather than out of desire for vengeance or clout.

where are you seeing lax legislation? I'm not seeing any. There's a lot of talk but very few concrete policy proposals that have any momentum around them. Thinking like an organizer means channeling your anger to build power for what you want instead of just mocking people you think are wrong

It kind of feels like something just happened that made everyone start freaking out about climate change and got even Republicans to start being like "hm we should do something about this" and instead of being like "yes omg let's do something' people are like "um, you're wrong about methane"

Evan Greer @evangreer.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
I'm begging AI skeptics and people who are highly critical of the "existential risk" frame to think like organizers and approach this moment as an opportunity for power building rather than an opportunity for correcting and scolding people you think are wrong. Try to meet people where they're at.
