Throwing this out there even though I hardly have any followers: Can I get a recommendation for volunteer or open source projects doing civic good work? I want to fight back using my best skills - code and data. Civil rights? Voting rights? Ecology? Climate? Health care?

When a user creates a meeting in Google Calendar with a Google Meet conference and adds the third participant (including the organizer), the "Take notes for me" feature and the transcription will be automatically pre-enabled.
The first time this occurs, Google Calendar displays an explanatory callout.

Large language models are not reasoning machines. They’re plausibility engines. It’s not just that they don’t test their outputs to make sure they’re correct or logical, or that they fail to do so in certain instances. They can’t, and they’ll never be able to on their own. They can only assess which answers are probable, based on the data on which the models have been trained. And that holds true whether they’re trained on the full breadth of human output or only on peer-reviewed scientific articles. It’s baked into the way they operate.

I was a software engineer in the health data field. HIPAA rules and health data security were sacred fundamentals. This is a knowing and willful breach, done 3 feet away from the attorney general. This is a crime punishable by a $50k fine and a year in prison.

As I wrote, if you think a massive US Gulag is being built just for illegal immigrants, along with a federal paramilitary force as large as the Marines, you're a fool. Billions in unaccountable cash from Venezuelan oil, shock troops, and detention camps. This is not a drill.

Nice people made the best Nazis.
My mom grew up next to them.
They got along, refused to make waves, looked the other way when things got ugly and focused on happier things than politics.
They were lovely people who turned their heads
as their neighbors were dragged away.
You know who weren't nice people?
Resistors.
