A $3 @mta.info subway fare and some good Q train timing can buy you one hell of a view of the July 4th fireworks and the Brooklyn Bridge light show! Huge shoutout to the train operator for slow rolling over the Manhattan Bridge and the conductor for announcing it.

This is absolutely nuts: hackers are hijacking high-profile Instagram accounts by simply asking Meta's AI chatbot to change the email on the account. Meta's AI does it, hacker gets password reset code, they're in. A staggering security issue www.404media.co/hackers-simp...

Hackers Simply Asked Meta AI to Give Them Access to High-Profile Instagram Accounts. It Worked

The exploit shows the extreme risk of offloading technical support to AI.

A lot of AI criticism makes me feel like someone says “the automobile has been disastrous for society” and I’m nodding along like “yeah I actually really agree, I think that car centric urban design has-“ and then they add “also it’s a scam, cars break down after more than ten miles anyway”

12/ When you have a bunch of public meetings, you're essentially attempting to extract an opinion from an entity (the public) that largely does not have one. But that entity can produce the simulacrum of an opinion, if pressed. It can produce a room full of 70 cranks willing to give a two min speech

back to back in the timeline:

Massacre upon massacre in Beirut in the last hour. AUBMC announced a "code disaster." Over 100 airstrikes in 10 minutes across the country. One hit right behind my house.
Sirens ambulances & the smell of sulphur.
The city is in total chaos the people in complete panic

I genuinely can't stop thinking about the Iranian kids who spent yesterday wondering if they were all going to die and what that day will do to them for the rest of their lives.

The caption does not say so, so not as bad as another I've seen, but this image is *also* not from Artemis II. It's from the EPIC camera on DSCOVR in 2015, and it is post-processed.

Agree with this and as of late it has felt very isolating to hear ideas that will never get executed despite being in a time when they are supposedly “very cheap” to act on.

Hey, you! Remember to do stuff just for the joy of doing it. You don't need to transform everything in content for the social media (unless this makes you happy). Enjoy that hobby yourself, no need to think about monetizing it. The reward should be your inner joy/peace first. Always.

Every single thing you're seeing from Minneapolis is as impressive as it looks. It is that brutally cold out. That is a stonking huge number of people. Those utterly filled city blocks are that outrageously Midwesternly wide and broad. Getting everyone there did push Metro Transit to the limit.

Habeas petitions are a fairly extraordinary remedy — even attorneys in immigration practice don't just crank out piles of these every day — so MaryJo Webster's analysis puts in sharp relief that even if some fraction of these are meritless, a staggering number of people are being held without cause.

this might be the first time i've seen a community note on x that serves as a punch line to the tweet

X post by Keith Edwards reads: "BREAKING: an image has leaked showing Trump using a walker moments after he signed an executive order banning states from regulating AI"

Image shows President Trump using a walker

Below the image is a proposed community note awaiting ratings. The community note reads: "No state is allowed to do anything about this photo." It links to a NY Times article about Trump's new executive order against states regulating AI.

(Yes, the image of Trump with the walker is AI-generated)
