THREAD: Akamai’s cloud leaders have laid out a compelling case for why a cloud built for raw power is no longer enough in a world that runs on proximity. My quick summary of their points, plus a provocative thesis from IDC's Dave McCarthy that calls into question how we define hyperscale. /1

Would you try to use #AI in your everyday operations processes? In this video, an operator asks an AI assistant to help manage bare metal, configure a server, and recover a failure. It goes about as well as you would expect: rackn.com/blog/ai-isnt...

They're not even trying to hide the grift anymore. This week, Trump's crypto company held a conference at Mar-A-Lago where Admin officials & Wall Street execs wined & dined together. Just the latest from the most corrupt admin in American history & Republicans are still silent.

There’s an overwhelming number of awful things happening. My gentle suggestion is to consider attending a protest tomorrow if you can. In addition to exercising your rights, it can be helpful to be in a sea of people who share your values. MAGA has exploited this, and now it’s our turn.

Wow: after 15 years, YouTube has taken down the original 'Rick Roll' video due to a "licensing issue," likely due to the acquisition of Astley's record lable. The metadata remains, but if you click through it goes to 'video not found': www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4...

Hey all, here's a post at @ssrc.org about how anti-trans talking points are getting wrapped into Google's AI search results. AI search not only cites anti-trans disinfo, but sanitizes it, making practices like conversion therapy sound legitimate and safe.
