If you use GitHub (especially if you pay for it!!) consider doing this *immediately*
Settings -> Privacy -> Disallow GitHub to train their models on your code.
GitHub opted *everyone* into training. No matter if you pay for the service (like I do). WTH

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series
You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.
Muting this now because it's 1am and I'm sleepy, but keep blocking. This is already really funny, but could be even better 😇
I'm on the left bump and GUESS WHY my view isn't represented in the "average chatbot conversation" graph 🤡
As usual, science provides good news.
Gee, it's almost like science is a good concept that betters mankind.
saw discussion about how a lot of indies are funded by larger corporations & we need government funding for the arts, so i wanted to share this article about how gov funding can fail to actually reach creators
often it just ends up going straight to the corpos who know how to apply

Today, we’re excited to introduce Attie, currently as an invite-only closed beta. Attie is the first agentic social app on atproto. It’s something completely new — an experiment in making building on the protocol more accessible.

By activating an immune signaling pathway inside cancer cells, MIT researchers found a way to force tumors to produce a molecule that leads to their own destruction.

Research suggests a clear AI benefit: while social media is polarising, AI nudges people towards the centre. This was true for all models. Grok is more right-leaning than other models, but also has the same depolarising effects. HT @jburnmurdoch

Longtime college friend of mine, Mike Prinke, was among those laid off at Epic Games: he has been fighting terminal brain cancer, and now he, his wife, and kid, have no income or health insurance.
Sharing here in hopes it can reach the right people on their behalf.
