“When all the good is on our side and all the bad on theirs, our storytelling brain is working its grim magic in full. We’re being sold a story.”
@skinnylatte this is a very odd framing to me. It implies that wealth comes from starting a business, I.e. throwing a dart. It's rather straightforward to build wealth by going to college, getting a decent gig in corporate America, starting to invest wisely at an early age, then climbing the corporate ladder. I say this as someone who grew up poor by American standards where no one in my immediate family finished high school, including my younger siblings.
@codinghorror shouldn't this be inverted? It's to create a world where it's much easier for people to solve their own needs with software? This is the right goal, and it could dramatically increase the demand for software and not affect the number of programmers needed.
Scott GallowayWe need to get tactical. If OpenAI’s revenue falls by 2%, it will make a difference.
The best way to ignite positive change is to carry out an economic strike the tech CEOs can’t ignore.

🏳️🌈🖖🏽After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.
OpenStreetMap Ops TeamIf you write about the messy reality behind "free" internet services: we're seeing #OpenStreetMap hammered by scrapers hiding behind residential proxy/embedded-SDK networks. We're a volunteer-run service and the costs are real. We'd love to talk to a journalist about what we're seeing + how we're responding. #AI #Bots #Abuse

I would never travel to a country that required this of me unless it was absolutely necessary.
I can’t blame anyone for making the same decision once this comes to pass.
(And it’s inevitable. Even if this particular version doesn’t happen, it’ll happen. We’ve been heading down this road for a while.)
Kara SwisherToday, we have to talk about Tim Cook. The Apple CEO is getting the crap knocked out of him for attending the Melania premiere at the White House on Saturday night — in a tux no less — as Alex Pretti was laying cold in the morgue in Minneapolis. It was about as tone deaf as it gets, especially coming after he also prostrated himself to Trump with that gold statue move. But that was merely obsequious in comparison to this, especially when he posed with well known Hollywood cretin Brett Rattner.
BrianKrebsPolitico writes: "Two members of Elon Musk’s DOGE team working at the Social Security Administration were secretly in touch with an advocacy group seeking to “overturn election results in certain states,” and one signed an agreement that may have involved using Social Security data to match state voter rolls, the Justice Department revealed in newly disclosed court papers."
"Elizabeth Shapiro, a top Justice Department official, said SSA referred both DOGE employees for potential violations of the Hatch Act, which bars government employees from using their official positions for political purposes.
"Shapiro’s previously unreported disclosure, dated Friday, came as part of a list of “corrections” to testimony by top SSA officials during last year’s legal battles over DOGE’s access to Social Security data. They revealed that DOGE team members shared data on unapproved “third-party” servers and may have accessed private information that had been ruled off-limits by a court at the time."
Kind of makes you wonder about the rest of the departments where DOGE had access.
