"If you have already run OpenClaw on a work device, treat it as a potential incident and engage your security team immediately." - @jmeller.bsky.social
Many security folks and devs are talking about potential problems, so this is unsurprising and yet jaw dropping.

@anildash.com clearly identifies this dissonance between the billions spent on AI and the mass chaos in tech. I'm exhausted, as are many friends and colleagues.
All we can do is take control of what we can, acknowledging that our power may be limited, but we can do *something*.

This feels like fears of voter fraud. People are furious about a threat of others taking advantage of a system, when in reality, the threat only exists so those in power can build hateful, racist policies.

Today marks 7 years at Google. I was shocked to get a response to my application, shocked they wanted an interview, then devastated I was offered a position requiring me to take a 20% salary cut. It took 4 more months to get a new offer, another 4 to start. In total, the process was 13 months. (1/2)

At just 34 years old, Zohran Mamdani culminated a meteoric political rise Tuesday by scoring a decisive victory in a polarizing mayoral election.
He will become the youngest mayor in over a century, the first Muslim to lead New York City.

Much of the NYT has been bad for years, sure, but this is *disgraceful*.
it’s kind of funny that the New York Times, which is probably at least 50% Ivy League on the editorial side, is one of the primary drivers of contemporary anti-intellectualism, but not really funny in a good way

@zohrankmamdani is a deeply thoughtful human being and we think he would make the best NYC mayor imaginable. We feel this as New Yorkers, as Jews and as human beings who are desperate for kindness, compassion and empathy to be represented in our politics.

Last week, I attended the Rabbis for Ceasefire Yizkor service. It was incredible to be surrounded by fellow New Yorkers, many of whom are Jewish like me, in mourning for Palestine.
Today marks 2 years of this war. 70 years since the occupation began. Ceasefire now.

Therapists are in even higher demand right now so they may not even respond when you reach out due to a full waitlist. That is on them not you. Finding a therapist who is right for you is difficult. You’re unlikely to find them on your first try.

Next week is Kat's birthday. Every so often I see a flash of curly red hair or a rye smile that makes me think she's alive.
Then, I remember, she's not.
I feel guilty having adventures she could never have, even if she'd say that's ridiculous. But again, she can't say anything.
Grief's a monster.

I disappeared from the web and from my everyday as I watched Kat disappear from the world, slowly then all at once.
I don’t write for personal reasons much anymore, but I know I’ll be grateful to have captured this moment and these memories for long after she’s gone.
