Keychron has made the surprising move of releasing design files for a broad range of its keyboards and mice, right out in the open for anyone to see — with the proviso that they're "source available" rather than "open source," and come with restrictions on commercial use.

Keychron's Nick Xu Releases Keyboard, Mouse Design Files — But Warns They're Not Open Source
"Source available" release is positioned as educational and to support community development, but no commercial use is allowed.

Europeans challenge US big tech with alternative app menu
Driven by concerns over privacy and geopolitical vulnerability, Europeans are increasingly adopting local "app menus" and open-source software to reduce reliance on US big tech.

OpenAI pirated large numbers of books and used them to train models. OpenAI then deleted the dataset with the pirated books, and employees sent each other messages about doing so. A lawsuit could now force the company to pay $150,000 per book, adding up to billions in damages.

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files. But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

Yes, this really happened. The Met police has been arresting so many anti-genocide protesters that they’re complaining about how much they’re having to work overtime. Poor cops. It’s tough being forced to arrest someone’s grandma because she doesn’t want kids starved to death.

Transphobes are like “you can’t say women are different to men, that’s sexist” and you can be like “yeah I agree, I’m agender” and then be like “you need to accept that women and men are fundamentally different to protect women” and think they’ve won the argument

Performative politeness is poisoning human interaction. Everyone mistook “here is how you say that to make that person comfortable” as an order instead of a lesson and now trans people can’t have rights anymore.

The UK Supreme Court endorsed segregating trans people entirely out of public life. They can exclude trans women from single sex spaces on the basis of sex and then exclude trans men on the basis of gender reassignment. Effectively, it allows the legal exclusion of trans people from public life.
This image contains text discussing the implications of legal definitions of sex on trans individuals. It criticizes how anti-trans activists can use such definitions to exclude trans people from public life. The example given involves a court ruling on a counseling session for female victims of sexual assault, where defining sex as "biological sex" would exclude trans women and potentially trans men, based on appearance or objections from others.

1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but 2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but 3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So 4. Now the LLM code points to malware.

We are Complicit

When I moved to AI Platform, I was excited to contribute to cutting-edge AI technology and its applications for the good of humanity: accessibility products, translation services, and tools to “empower every human and organization to achieve more.” I was not informed that Microsoft would sell my work to the Israeli military and government, with the purpose of spying on and murdering journalists, doctors, aid workers, and entire civilian families. If I knew my work on transcription scenarios would help spy on and transcribe phone calls to better target Palestinians (source), I would not have joined this organization and contributed to genocide. I did not sign up to write code that violates human rights.

Deporting people means a judge signs a final deportation order, and the person is returned to their own country. What we are doing is kidnapping a person off the street and paying for them to be held indefinitely in concentration camps outside US courts' jurisdiction. 100% deliberately extralegal.

There is a quasi-religion in Silicon Valley that views AI as godlike. This faith has always been parallel to Evangelical Christianity: salvation (transhumanism), the rapture (the technological singularity), and demons (Roko's Basilisk) Lately the AI faith has fully fused with Christian Nationalism.
