Happy Couch Potato Day! 🥔

A deep joy for me is that this podcast counts as a “super curricular” for my daughter’s A Level courses. I wish we’d had this kind of knowledge sharing and interviews on demand when I was 16. The way she is getting distinction in her work too because of the ideas she heard on this show.

Mystery AI Hype Theater 3000 Episode 36: About That 'Dangerous Capabilities' Fanfiction … in which @al2.bsky.social and I explore a paper-shaped object released by DeepMind and discern the political project behind the pseudoscience. Thx to @whatulysses.bsky.social for production!

Enjoy the weekend, everyone

Msft laying off its DEI staff to hardly any media coverage ,and the same week being blamed for an outage they didn’t cause shows you karma is a betch with compass

Lord I see what you do for others

a friend visited today 🦝

Maybe all the companies “urgently hiring” since yesterday are proof that the layoffs were all about shareholder value. Which works I guess, until your company is involved in bringing the world to a grinding halt, or impacted, . And then we suddenly value the people we discarded.

I really hope all this is due to squirrels using an LLM and we can finally stop the ai hype

There is a dude on TikTok who last year got married after making TikToks leaving tacos and target bags out with his dog to “find a girlfriend” and his now ex wife has just revealed the DV she suffered at his hands And people are shocked but.. a grown man who needs socials to find a partner was 🚩

now people will be saying a bunch of conspiracy theories but: it isn't malware, it isn't a hack, it isn't ransomware, it is literally just.... incalculably stupid human error on behalf of so many people lmao, that's all it is. I feel bad for the hospitals right now, the most

This isn’t a secret but it also hasn’t gotten much attention: Bluesky outsources moderation to an AI-first third party content moderation company that has little to no interaction with civil society.

Having lost three friends in the past two weeks (two heart attacks and a suicide) I echo this in the strongest way possible. Tell people the things you'd say in their eulogy, but while they're still here.

Show the people you love some love. Everyone needs it right now. You never know when it may be the last you see them, my sister died suddenly in 2018 & I miss her like the desert misses the rain every day, what I wouldn't give to see her again Tell the ones you love how much you love them today

Off topic but it amazes me that I brought three human babies home and no one at the clinic asked to see the cot or asked me to show them my house , but I got a hamster today and I had to show the cage and answer a questionnaire. For a rodent.

I have to have a LOT of background checks and references as I often work with schools or in tech and I am disturbed by how violating the checks are now. For example: social media checks that ask you to log into socials like insta or Pinterest etc via the checking platform. Absolutely no way I would

Kinda sad the England match is so late as usually match times are the best time to go shopping or for a walk as all the men are home and it is just bears outside

I am once again asking us to consider how public trust is eroded and if our cyber cert obsession is helping? Because why is this stuff happening ?

I have to be in London next week and HOW has a return that used to be 25-30 become over £40? It will cost me at least £50 in travel each day. That’s ridiculous for trains that don’t even run on time

We need the higher ed media to better describe what's at stake here. These are not "reforms," they're an authoritarian takeover. They're not "bold" or "sweeping," they're undemocratic and fascist. These aren't normal policy recommendations, they're a dismantling of higher education!

I don’t know much but I do know that threatening furry hackers puts you on the wrong side and personally I wouldn’t want them coming for me using their skills. But I’m here with my popcorn to enjoy the hell the heritage foundation is gonna see

Self-described “gay furry hackers” breached the Heritage Foundation in an attempt to undermine Project 2025, so of course an executive director at the right-wing think tank threatened them as “degenerate perverts” who would face God’s punishment and the FBI.

What? No it wasn't. A bunch of people warned about exactly this, before it happened, and then AS IT WAS HAPPENING. People just… kept pretending that the dude who conned them hadn't conned them and was, in fact, a super genius, instead of taking the fucking L and holding him anything like accountable
