Questions about separating the art from the artist always have this huge negative space around them where all the people who could have been great, become great, and made great things languish invisible, marginalized and silent. We never stare the emptiness of the music and art and poetry we might have had if we hadn’t spent so much effort accommodating and venerating self-mythologizing abusers. Our complicity in this subjugation of the possible, of the art we’ve kept from coming into being.

seeing tech journalists still this confused how to use the fediverse this far into things; we should take it as a sign that we need to rethink how this whole cross instance cross domain flow works
What's a Forkiverse?
#Grok, xAI’s flagship model, reportedly burned through $7.8 billion in just nine months in 2025… yet it’s also set to become a key supplier to the #Pentagon. I’ll pretend for a moment that it’s merely a random contractor with no ties to the U.S. government, and that it’s only being chosen because it happens to be exceptionally good at removing face-covering clothing from photos of ICE agents.
There are loads of self-hosting platforms out there; TrueNAS, 
@yunohostYunoHost 
, Unraid, Cosmos, Synology, etc, and they all have their own package definition system.
Anyone know of anything that could help maintain (and test?) all those centrally? Like a single definition that can generate/update them all? The more platforms we try to put 
@manyfold on, the more bitrot there will inevitably be.
I could try to write my own, but if there's anything already out there...

'Signal' President and VP warn agentic AI is insecure, unreliable, and a surveillance nightmare
With agentic AI embedded at the OS level, databases storing entire digital lives accessible to malware, tasks whose reliability quickly breaks down at each step, and being opted-in without consent, Signal leadership is sounding the alarm for the industry to pull back until threats can be mitigated.

Flock itself is the security risk, not the sites making it crystal clear how Flock is violating people's privacy. IMO services like HaveIBeenFlocked are absolutely necessary to wake people up to how dystopian things have become. They're doing a critical service to the country and humanity.

i had cause to think about the distinction between deep vs. shallow embeddings today for the first time in awhile and, as usual, my intuition gets them backwards. (the agreed-upon mapping seems to be shallow = "encode object language with corresponding meta-language constructs" and deep = "encode object language as uninterpreted data in the metalanguage".) why is it like this?
New on the Mystery AI Hype Theater 3000 newsletter:
Labeling resistance to "AI" as "denialism" is an attempt to dismiss it out of hand.
The narrative of the denialism frame is that those opposing "AI" are afraid, under-informed and/or engaging in wishful thinking. None of that is true: The people who oppose the "AI" project are actively fighting and refusing to accept the premise of tech bros and AI boosters.

Holy mackerel. Joe Thompson quit.
"Three Minnesota federal prosecutors resigned over the Justice Department’s push to investigate the widow of a woman killed by an ICE agent and its reluctance to investigate the shooter, according to people with knowledge of their decision.
"Joseph H. Thompson, who was second in command at the U.S. attorney’s office and oversaw a sprawling fraud investigation that has roiled Minnesota’s political landscape, was among those who quit Tuesday, according to three people with knowledge of the decision."

오늘 사망 소식이 전해진 딜버트 시리즈 만화가 스콧 아담스. 현대의 조직사회에 대한 통렬한 통찰을 날리던 시절을 지나, 점차 냉소와 회의에 맛들이며, 자유지상주의에 빠지며, 음모론을 빨아먹고, 반과학과 인종주의에 심취하는 '인플루언서'가 되다가, 트럼프를 예찬하고 트럼프의 예찬이나 받던 사회악스러운 말년. 오늘날 미디어 환경 속에서 벌어지는 지적 파산 과정의 어떤 전형성을 보여준 비극적 인생.
