The same Brendan Carr who wanted to investigate NBC because Kamala was on SNL? The same Brendan Carr who wanted to dismantle independent fact checking and accused them of being a “censorship cartel?” Periodic reminder that the corruption is a feature, not a bug.

"they're coming for birth control" is not alarmism, that is absolutely next on the agenda I have my doubts on how successful it'll be but they're going to make a real go of it

I used to do some work on the ethical use of satellite and drone imagery for aid and disaster response, and it is genuinely hard to express in words what a dangerous, stupid thing Google is doing by making it easy to use GenAI to create faked satellite imagery:

The question is: what on earth is Google doing?

“Use the serial (Oxford) comma in comma-separated inline lists. That is, write “one, two, and three” instead of “one, two and three”. In almost all cases, it is less” Look, I don’t want to start a fight but the AP Stylebook is just wrong: the Oxford comma is necessary, and good!

Too many politicians like to fear monger about Chinese technology, while turning an absolute blind eye to the abuses being committed by U.S.-based tech companies and the US government.
I would just urge that we think about US-based models in the same vein that we would those coming from places overseas, like China. In the sense that absent consumer privacy laws, absent more laws that govern how the United States conducts surveillance on American citizens, both models run some sort of threat of jeopardizing civil liberties and the integrity of the American people.
