There’s a meme going around that an Open Source project “can’t” prevent LLM use by contributors because there’s no technical means to enforce this. This is idiotic and shows just how disingenuous slopmongers will be when told they can’t just submit slop.

Did you know there’s also no technical means to enforce that you didn’t copy some code you’re contributing from a proprietary codebase and say it’s original work? Somehow we haven’t given up on that!

So, humanity's epitaph may be:

"We died in a nuclear holocaust rather than arrest a paedophile ring"

There is a girl named Alexis coming over today to hang out with my daughter.

She’s dating another of my daughter’s friends who is lesbian and openly had a crush on my daughter but they talked about how they had to stay friends because my daughter is straight. That whole situation was no big deal.

Now she’s dating Alexis, who’s been over a few times and seems really engaging for a middle schooler. She just kind of hangs out in an easy-going manner. We’ve had talks about fashion and cooking and music.

She goes by Alex with her parents and non-school friends. I thought that was a nickname like I have for my kids. I was gonna text her parents and my daughter said very seriously “make sure you use he/him pronouns when you talk about her.”

It turns out she is an out Trans girl in middle school, and all her friends protect her by flipping name and pronouns as easily as code-switching. Like, they all think of her as a girl, and they flip to he/him without even really thinking about it.

This is so amazing to me. And so so sad. Like that poor girl is in middle school and already has friends she can trust with her true self more than her family.

Do not comply.

Do not share your ID or biometric data with abusive platforms requesting it. You have a choice to say no, complain, and leave.

This is an important act of resistance for the future of humanity.

This isn't just about privacy, this is also about safety, diversity, democracy, and human rights.

"Memory is not a violation.

I met with Ukrainian skeleton racer Vladislav Heraskevich, member of the Ukrainian national Olympic team, and his father, Mykhailo Heraskevich, coach of the Ukrainian skeleton team. I presented Vladislav with the Order of Freedom.

#Ukraine will have champions and Olympians. But the most important thing Ukraine has is Ukrainians.

If you're a technologist in the US, I think it's worth sitting with the reality that the government's current abuses against the population are playing out almost every single *"if we allow databases of X, bad thing Y will be possible"* warning.

Performative privacy protections were never enough; we have to make them structural (in law), toothsome (right-of-action for individuals), and national. Nothing else will do.
