Electronic Frontier Foundation"The unsettling feeling that your device is spying on you is real — but the culprit isn't a secret microphone. It's the data broker industry," EFF’s @evacide tells CNET. https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/features/no-your-iphone-isnt-listening-to-you-heres-whats-really-happening/

Peter GleickChuck Schumer makes it to the New Yorker cartoon section. And not in a good way. Chuck, this is your legacy unless you seriously step up.
"Quick! Somebody get Chuck Schumer to write a strongly worded letter."
Chris TrottierFolks, I’m asking you all to donate to this GoFundMe.
Nearly an entire family was murdered in the 2025 Vancouver car attack that occurred last Saturday. Only the 16-year-old son survives. He needs help.
I personally know these victims—they’re fellow members of Vancouver Rackets Club. They were active members of the local badminton community. Great people. Unbelievable tragedy.
Please, if you can, donate—and if you can’t, boost this message so others can help.

Whenever the media want to talk about Biden’s age, remember that I am more than six years older than that kid, and both of us could run circles around the Orange Guy.
Oh, and Biden’s never been charged with a felony, let alone 91 of them. Just saying.
Baldur Bjarnason“Elegant and powerful new result that seriously undermines large language models”
Like I’ve been saying for a while now: LLMs do not think or reason. They are not on the path to AGI. They are extremely limited correlation and text synthesis machines. https://garymarcus.substack.com/p/elegant-and-powerful-new-result-that
Elegant and powerful new result that seriously undermines large language models
Wowed by a new paper I just read and wish I had thought to write myself. Lukas Berglund and others, led by Owain Evans, asked a simple, powerful, elegant question: can LLMs trained on A is B infer automatically that B is A? The shocking (yet, in historical context, see below, unsurprising) answer is no:
Trump met with pharma lobbyists and nixed his promise to have Medicare negotiate drug prices.
Biden just announced Medicare would negotiate drug prices on ten popular drugs used by millions of seniors.
The first is empty talk. The second is bold action.
