The serious challenge. We need to figure out is how to create a secure environment that isn’t at the expense of the users we are trying to protect. This creates an environment of shadow IT and workarounds just to avoid the security we have in place.
Infosec dude. Trying to rethink how we view trust. Fact checking is not censorship.

For public figures, it would probably make a lot of sense to have a shared block list that you’d curate amongst yourselves. Those bad faith trolls are exhausting. It’s one way to stop them before they can start.
Thanks! And damn I was really hoping that wasn’t the case.
I haven’t seen any actual reporting on this yet. So take it with a grain until it’s corroborated.
I’ve found this platform to be the worst about this, AI can be incredibly useful. You do need to treat it with caution and there a genuine issues that we as a society have yet to even grasp yet, such as AI induced psychosis. It’s hard to have an honest conversation about it anywhere.
And that’s why spending 250 million was peanuts for him in comparison
The first part was I read that as, how coax cable works? And I’m like that’s simple! And then I kept reading and realized that I Dunning-Kruger’d myself. 😂
My current guess in that generative AI is going to become the biggest government subsidy program we have ever seen. So profiteering is going to take a second row to the Governments strategic initiatives
I was convinced this was AI when I saw it
Noah Kagan hasn’t been an employee of FB since before their IPO. Not exactly a source I’d listen to. Not defending Zuckerberg just not taking Kagan seriously.
This image needs to be everywhere. I don’t think people realize how much this will delegitimize him. Campaign ad airs “hi I’m JD Vance” Next ad airs this image of him doing something stupid. No words need to be spoken, no platforms, nothing. It will erode any support he has.
Trump wants you talking about this and not about Epstein. He desperately wants that to go away. Don’t fall for it.
One that wants you talking about this and not Epstein. Trump masks scandal with outrage. Don’t fall for it.
I mean SCOTUS already said that the president can do anything they want if it’s considered an official act, so no.
What? Your argument doesn’t make any sense.
This is an unrealistic limitation you want to impose on Ukraine that would ultimately lead to them having less ways to protect themselves.
Unfortunately the United States has the biggest arsenal and logistics apparatus. No other nation l even comes close that capability.
Yeah I’d agree with you that it’s disappointing. It sucks,but he’s gotta play that game. It’s a shame he has to do it and I think it’s still not enough support.
I don’t think he’s got much choice. What would you want/expect him to do otherwise when the sovereignty of his country is in the line?
I’m with you on this one. Accuracy matters. I hate what this admin as done but this doesn’t appear to be the cause. When reading the article, I think they meant they were treating the wildfire as a controlled burn, not that they were performing one, and then it became unmanageable.
If I recall, they got a bunch of their clothes from thrift shops so they needed to be careful to not tear them since they didn’t have any duplicates
If anyone has ever read Snow Crash, this is kinda eerie.
Bottom line is this: a good teammate and person will bring people TOGETHER and a toxic one will tear them apart.
Team troubleshooting calls became non-existent. Any chatter after a meeting ceased. As long as that person was there in any way, no one wanted to be there. Once they left, the shift for the team was noticeable in days. All those things that stopped happening, happed again.
Agree with this 1000% and it reminds me of one time when at a previous employer, we had a well skilled and smart engineer who was just toxic. It didn’t matter how good they were at their job when no one wanted to work or correspond with them.
As someone who is pretty pro AI, especially compared to bsky, this is one of the best examples and criticisms of how it’s being implemented and what risks are involved.

I hate to say it but I fear this service is just filled with haters. I don’t know how else to put it. Can’t talk AI. Anything about any business isnt in some negative light etc. It’s full of detractors and its quickly losing its appeal.
Yep. People really misunderstand who makes the laws. Congress made it, voted on it, sent to the presidents desk, he signed it. And then Trump just said naaah.
Weekly 1-on-1 with the Boss
That’s a huge number imo. Most people aren’t aware of them going bankrupt. Most people don’t know what they’re doing with their data. I’m shocked it’s over 5%. Most people are simply not informed. And that is not to denigrate them. It’s just the nature of the world and our attention.
If arming Ukraine is the threshold for nuclear war, that threshold is already strikingly too low and will be used for pretext for the next escalation. So it’s either now or it’s then next one. At one point the world will need to say stop. When will that be?
You are not going to get a disparate group of angry people to listen and change behavior. So how do you spin this and redirect that criticism to make an argument against the Trump admin? Because that’s what it’s about.
I hear you. But what do you think will change that behavior? Obviously not harping about it on social media. But if it’s already there, there is nothing that is going to change or alter people from doing it. So what’s the next best option?
It’s definitely not, of course, but it’s also not necessarily wrong. There are just some subjects I won’t even attempt to talk here. Can’t talk AI in a positive light. Can’t talk web 3. Can’t have nuance in certain topics. It becomes exhausting. Wont go back to twitter but bluesky has some issues.
I’ve unfollowed a few people over this. If they can’t make that distinction, they really don’t need to be in my feed.
And he was the lefts version of Rogan. Never too forward with his views but you know clearly where his support was.
Now I need to see
This is genius
Exactly where my mind went. “I don’t know, Margooooo”
Misplaced hope. It’s like a choose your own adventure novel. You need to rationalize the irrational so you fill in the gaps with your own bias. When you do the hard work to rationalize those things, sunk cost fallacy really kicks in.
The current incentive is clicks for advertisers. Truth is secondary to that.
If you read this letter in the Boulder’s voice from Avatar the Last Airbender, it’s hilarious and fitting.
With both, it’s hard to separate the utility away from the aggressive opportunists and scammer. But the utility is there.
I think you’ll see that sooner than later where companies become dependent on it. It’s still early and lots of places are just putting AI where it shouldn’t be.
My hot take is that I find LLMs incredibly useful. I use them as a thought board, planner and assist with small programs. Even the debugging doesn’t bother me because it forces me to learn something in a non-linear fashion. That really works for me.

I wrote about why Republicans - and Trump specifically - often beat Democrats on messaging because they understand the politics of schemas and how to use them more effectively, while Democrats search for the best facts, but often lose the battle of perception: www.forkingpaths.co/p/schemas-an...
If you need to make a long argument to make your point, that’s why it’s a losing message. Narrative is not kind to deep dives and nuance.
Whitmer was at the WH because her state was receiving some funding. Someone pulled her into the Oval Office for this photo op. She looked mortified and people are up in arms whitmer is anywhere near the WH. Reality is being Governor might put you in situations like these and people need to chill.
Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act. Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes? Staffer: a DL and birth certificate. Me: The documents don’t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?
I love DC, hate the traffic. Honestly, I think they should ban cars outside of government vehicles.
Blasphemy.
Remember when top Trump officials used an unsecured app, Signal, to share confidential military plans & then lied about it and they continue to expose our national security to potential foreign countries and enemies by using unsecure communications and most of them still have their jobs? Fun times.
Ah never been to that one. I’ll have to make a trip!
Air Force Museum?
Everyone should burn this man’s name into their collective memories. We cannot forget who he is and what is likely to happen next. He is the canary warning us all.
Shit I fell for it too I just totally glossed over the > sign and interpreted it as an arrow pointing.
The Trump supporter was the victim for people who don’t read.
AI an is excellent tool, but people need to be realistic to what it is and what it is not. There are a lot of problems with the Silicon Valley interpretation of what it should be but we shouldn’t resist their flawed ideas with a “throw out the baby with the bathe water” mentality.
Sending a Russian dissent back to Russia to be tortured and/or killed perfectly encapsulates this loathsome administration’s lack of American values.
So as American citizens, I think we need to be the voices of the ones who cannot speak freely any longer in our nation. If anyone needs a safe person to publish something and anonymize themselves, I would be happy to help.
Pretty exhausting watching actionless cynicism coming from those groups. Figure out who your allies are, organize with them.
How about trying to be a little less popular then? Won’t get any notifications if no one wasn’t to talk to you. 😂 I kid I kid
It seems like moving them out of state and keeping them in constant motion is a tactic to subvert the judicial system.
Literal suppression of speech. Is there a time in our history where this has ever happened?
This is going to sound weird, but they are trying to literally build their own God. They view that human immortality as possible, but they can’t do it without AI.
Thread: John sheds some light on DOGE and SVs views on AI. As someone who is very pro AI, these are exactly the type of people we dint want abusing it and is creating a very worrisome atmosphere.
You’re absolutely right, Ricardo. I’ve been trying to get it a little further along before I made it fully public and wanted to elicit some feedback from experts first. So I’ve been trying to message various experts and people into would be constructive but critical.
I’m working on something not like that but a service I desperately need people to help poke holes in my plan. Ever care to listen and critique?
And the improvement is because Trump has Elon whom he’s using to blame and take the majority of the heat away from him.
She’s just a fan of transfer protocols
Question: do you believe Trump is irreparably harming the country? Yes/No? Whatever your answer is this this question, act like it. You can’t play the middle here. He either IS all those thing you say he is or he isn’t. Choose and act accordingly.
Trump is irreparably harming our govt to the point we will not be able to function. We cannot support any measures until the destruction stops. Done.
Imo this is the most fun team I’ve ever watched and yeah it think it beats the 2016 championship team. This team just plays better complementary BB together.
Yeah Mike always has a good perspective. I just think people were just more passively aware of his nonesense vs actively.
I’m with you on this. Most people on bluesky came here for a reason so it might seen obvious to all of us. Not so much for people who aren’t really engaged to the online life.
I think most of people just viewed Musk as distasteful but not enough to shift habits. I think his toxicity really became apparent only when he purchased twitter and only if you were chronically on it. So I think a bunch of people were honestly shocked when they were made aware of who he really is.
Edgy quote of the day: “A man is easier to exploit than a system. That is why they are trying to destroy the systems we have put in place” — me, I think 🤷♂️
And this is why I’m thinking Portugal
I’ve been making fun of republicans effusive praise of Trump to the 1979 purge for weeks now. JD needs to stop reading my shit.
I’ve been making fun of them using the 1979 Ba’ath Party Purge as an example of how our government is acting and then Vance just flat out says it. 21 executions were had as a result.
I think there’s a lot of the public that is pleading and begging to you to understand the moment we are in. If you don’t believe Donald Trump is a dictator or trying to become one then say it if you do, act like it.
Not sure if it’s just Soave, when on the occasion I read Volokh and think either he or I just suffered a stroke.
That is a great question and i am certainly doing my best to help as I know how. But I feel i have strayed too far from your original point. People shouldn’t be shamed just trying to live their lives. It’s hard enough as it is.
I think that’s fair feedback. I just have been observing a lot of efforts being spread across all of these different domains and so it kind of goes unheard.
The problem when I see these massive broad movements is that they just simply don't work. You need deliberate and direct action. Once you spread it too thin, it be becomes completely ineffective. This is one of those cases.
Do you know of any studies on LLM poisoning? I'm really curious what it would take to poison a system like Grok where it gets so much of its training data from shitposts, etc.
The acts of defiance in the early days were so inspiring. I believe these soldiers lived and were freed in a prisoner exchange.
Why this matters: 1. While NSA doesn't have to stand down, many service members working *at* NSA work for their individual services, addressing their intelligence priorities. The national mission broadly benefits from this. These members likely must stand down. 1/ therecord.media/hegseth-orde...
If people can't understand why Ukraine needs assurances against Russian aggression, they need to look no further than Bucha.
Cue the hotdog suit McMaster
That was the day that our country fell and we have been dealing with the fallout ever since. It was the day where power became more important than anything else for half of our elected representatives. That was the day we fell and I don’t think we’ll ever come back.
It’s hard for me to contain my disgust with the events of today. As a support of Ukraine, I am absolutely heartbroken for them. How disgraceful m.
My hot take of the day is I think blockchain has a lot of potential but it’s been completely hijacked by toxic narcissists which make adoption stagnant.
Also what’s missing here is he wants to hire retired employees. There is a hard limit at 56 due to the nature of the job.
It’s really the only way
I left the Republican Party a long time ago because their governance, positions and actions betrayed me at some level. Giving Musk, who has no official position, this grace is a betrayal in my mind. I will support you being primaried. You can’t work with anarchists and that’s Musk.
