Feeling dissociated. Wildly vacillating between interests. But uninterested. Uninteresting. Marching to an inevitable end.

The one upside of all the gambling apps is that it’s slowly turning a lot of people against sports in general. No, Jim, I didn’t watch the game or any game. I don’t have the ‘memorizing numbers/names’ flavor of the spectrum where I knew who won the World Series in any specific year.

I can’t take the investigation community seriously anymore. “I cAn Do An OsInT i AsKeD gEmEnI a QuEsTiOn” “I’ve looked at all the evidence” No, you don’t have access to all the evidence in an active investigation. “It’s all connected somehow…” How? Show me analysis instead of conjecture.

The goal of humanity generally is to fight for a better future and to try to preserve the life of all, but I don’t think a lot of people got that message. Modern Society is fucking bleak.

I've read a couple of articles on this ban and they cover the media perspective and/or Trump's. This isn't a spectator sport. What about focusing on how this affects citizens? How about covering what a chilling example this sets? Spell out the ramifications of letting this stand.

NEW by me at this.weekinsecurity.com: In its first disclosure with U.S. states, ID verification giant IDScan confirms that at least 13-15 million people had their driver's license/passport stolen during a months-long data breach. IDScan implied the hackers are extorting the company for a ransom.

Evil is hard to wrap your mind around. And you feel small and powerless in the face of it. Weird means, this loser should not be running my life. People feel empowered to confront weird.

Well they finally did it. DOGE got rid of my friend Anne, the only remaining person at the web design system for the entire US government. The replacement appears to be AI-generated code with no dedicated human oversight.

Today was my boss’ last day. We are a leaderless team. 3% turned into 57% reduction real fast. I don’t feel like sketching today, but I collected my tools and sharpened an old drafting pencil I found. One of the weirder things Marlboro sent me as swag in early 00s. Monogrammed drafting pencils.

Bringing up the Cruel Paradox again: the median voter is made well enough and financially stable enough during a Democratic president to think that "vaguely Culture War" issues actually matter most. Then the GOP crashes the economy, and folks come back to the Democrats. Rinse, repeat.

The Cruel Paradox is that Democrats (basically since Reagan) get the economy back on its feet, only to have enough people get enough money that they think "actually, migrant caravans and rumors of kids pissing in litterboxes, that's most important".

A non-zero number of folks on Bluesky, for understandable reasons, have put way too much hope in the next Democratic administration in the US, and are brewing themselves up for another existential breakdown in like 2029 or 2030.

Using stolen and altered images to mislead is a popular technique for deceiving people online. Here's a case study of a Bluesky user's attempt to pass off someone else's dog photo as his own, and subsequent attempts to muddy the waters with AI-generated images when the plagiarism was pointed out.

For up and coming data analysts and system architects; one of the simplest ways you can get better at your job is to start practicing meditation for visualization. Imagine yourself as a piece of data. How do you skate the infrastructure? Are there walls? Do you have keys? Where do you go? Try it.

This is a great article and I think it highlights how being Extremely Online is a *way of knowing*, a social epistemology, where constructs and frames that are warranted solely on the make-believe of bouncing ideas in online discourse become the lens through which participants come to know the world

Looking at social media, specifically short form video content, one can possibly conclude we are in a severe mental health crisis. It’s like no one learned coping methods during lockdown; they just got angrier & more scared. This is the entire reason I don’t talk to family. Panic is a liability.

Recently having voted in a primary election I’m struck with the lack of representation. Gubernatorial candidates that are party flippers who “say the line, Bart” just right to make everyone laugh. Others who wants to jump from state Congress into the role, but they’ve no senatorial experience…

If people were told that LLMs would be more like Duolingo and less like a magic answer box then we could have cut this entire discourse off at the knees. “Wait, I have to learn about a subject from primary sources with secondary to understand nuance? Doesn’t the AI do that for me?” No. It doesn’t.

Then I opened the story. It’s much worse. “[A]ll three were notified of the incident on Monday, Anthropic said.”

Anthropic said Thursday that software it was testing got onto the internet and hacked unsuspecting companies without the AI-maker's knowledge in three separate incidents dating back to April.
The artificial-intelligence vendor didn't say which companies had been hit, but all three were notified of the incident on Monday, Anthropic said.
The news comes one week after OpenAI revealed that its Al technology had broken out of a testing sandbox—a digital prison that was supposed to be disconnected from the internet-and hacked the Al company.
