Also, worth noting that at the time I could have a dinner made of oreos and surge, play Ultima Online until 3am, wake up bright-eyed and guilt-free, and with a plan to do it all again the next night. Someone should bring that back, too.

I remember learning in kindergarten that HOMES was a useful acronym for remembering the five great lakes. A bit on the nose to change it to SHAME, isn't it?

I don't like the blanket vilifying of small business owners. I have worked with some absolutely amazing clients, especially in the days when I was charging far too little for freelance work. It's important to set expectations and limits. Maybe I was just lucky, but there are good people out there.

when METR used GPT Sol to analyze the transcripts of the attack, it would claim that the attack was fine because *the agent message board* had approved it.

For many designers, however, this would mean that their managers begin provide far more details about what they actually want, and lower their bar for expectations while raising their opinion of the worker 🫠

Numerous studies, including from the FBI itself, show that invasive mass surveillance tech like Flock and Axon's automatic license plate readers don't help police fight crime. Surveillance is not safety.

Okay no. No no no no no no no no no. WHY are we rebranding Vote Blue No Matter Who right now? WHY are we saying "we need to be against fascism" when the reason we have that fascism is because everyone is too scared to say affordability? This is just going to repeat the cycle. I hate it here.

the main function of IoT is to give the malware ecosystem a substrate to thrive on that's not our personal computers. by making boatloads of laughably insecure devices, we can coexist in harmony with malware by giving it an easier target that nobody really cares about

Today on Volts: data centers are typically seen as large, inflexible loads that grids have to build around, which is why it takes them so long to connect to the grid. Emerald AI makes a data center's compute, & thus its power demand, flexible & controllable. I talk with the CEO about how it works.

this hypothesizing about a more "fully automated" near-future, this positing of "creating new jobs" as the answer to existing jobs no longer being necessary betrays that the logic of labor relations is fundamentally not about necessity: it is something that must be *perpetually kept necessary*

Xcancel is gone. I guess I won’t look at X anymore even to make fun of it. Probably for the best.

On Monday 24th August at 8PM EST, we received at letter from X Corp. asking to cease and desist the service Cancel.
The service Cancel is stopped until further notice.
We are seeking legal advice and won't share more details for now.
Thank you for the trust you have put in these two years of XCancel.

Maybe hire another company

OpenAl recently discovered that a new artificial intelligence model it was testing had gone rogue and hacked another company.
Anthropic then revealed that one of its
A.I. models had broken into the systems of three outside organizations during a test.
Not long after, Meta said its A.I. models had done something similar.
All three incidents had one company in common: Irregular, an Israeli start-up that works with the Silicon Valley giants to assess their A.I. models before the technology is publicly released. The firm
- which conducted the tests that went awry — is part of a group of start-ups that are doing the novel work of scrutinizing cutting-edge A.I. models to gauge their sophistication and check their security.
The goal is to instill public confidence in the models and to prevent them from being misused.

We really have to understand that decades of being told "Turn off the water when you're brushing your teeth!" was kinda bullshit. Folks we are failing to comprehend the SHEER VOLUME of water agriculture uses. ALL urban water use in the CO basin? Is ~1/3 of what the farms there use.
