this is a great piece, and i'm not just saying that because i'm quoted in it
“Until very recently,” Rich Harris told me, “the idea that you would effectively pay rent to a Silicon Valley company for the privilege of being able to write software would have been considered completely absurd.”

Exactly right. Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign. Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE. Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them. Every possible angle.

No, The UK’s Online Safety Act Doesn’t Make Children Safer Online
Young people should be able to access information, speak to each other and to the world, play games, and express themselves online without the government making decisions about what speech is permissible. But in one of the latest misguided attempts to protect children online, internet users of all ages in the UK are being forced to prove their age before they can access millions of websites under the country’s Online Safety Act (OSA).

I know this battle is lost, but: Can we stop calling it “hallucinating”? They’re not tripping, they’re doing what they’re designed to do: generate a series of statistically likely sentences. The technology doesn’t care whether the sentences are accurate, as long as they’re statistically likely.

There’s the joke when you ask a dev or dev team how much of the project is done: “We’re done with 90% of it roughly.” The correct answer is: “OK, so what I’m hearing is first 90% done, only second 90% is left” It’s actually not a joke. It’s *often* the reality with software
