When I message with the CISA director about a policy summit, it’s not to ask her what she’s wearing so we can coordinate fashion. It’s to ask her what she’s saying so we can coordinate keynotes. 💅🏽 #CyberWomen

I can see why Reddit is charging for API access, but effectively cutting off third party apps might be its downfall, eventually. I would pay for reddit premium in order to be able to keep using Apollo. The UX is so intuitive and polished.

OpenAI's statement on "governance of superintelligence" is basically "in our humble opinion you should regulate AI, but not *our* company's AI which is good, but instead only imaginary evil AI that exists only in the nightmares you have after reading too many Sci-Fi books, and the regulatory framework you choose should be this laughably guaranteed-to-fail regulatory framework which we designed here on a napkin while laughing" https://openai.com/blog/governance-of-superintelligence
