To go along with our piece today, we published an extensive list of folks associated with DOGE. It builds off and adds to the strong work that Wired, WaPo, ProPublica and other pubs have been doing.

Day 5 was my favourite, as I think each day got progressively better. If you somehow didn't try Better Offline CES, it's one of the best things I've put out, a 20-person live to tape audio production from the heart of a tech show that oftentimes doesn't sell real things.
Here's part 1 of our Day 5 coverage of CES, I'm joined by @cherlynn.bsky.social @bigblackjacobin.bsky.social @davidjroth.bsky.social @davidjroth.bsky.social to talk about men and their lack of vulnerability about sex, the sex toy industry, age tech, and lasers.

Oh I'm sure there's nothing that could possibly go wrong relying on "existing security and information protections."
Trump teams to deploy throughout government after reaching agreement with the Biden administration
The president-elect had previously refused to sign the agreement and is still sidestepping many of the steps typically required for presidential transitions.

Feel free to spam elected officials with this. It feels silly, but it’s not. No impeachment since the 14th Amendment was ratified has reached a majority vote in the Senate, and never has an official been charged with insurrection. This government still belongs to the people. Laws are what we say.
I’m saying it now with hopes that it sinks in: Donald Trump cannot take any oath of office until he is granted amnesty for breaking the last one he swore. That’s just straight up in the Constitution. 2/3 of each House. That’s the bar.

* no easy disable blocking on this site
Both of which are UI decisions, not manifest v3 limitations.

Nobody will care given...*gestures broadly,* but we also got a verdict today. In 2021 we and others were sued for putting legal records online. With pro bono support from GT Law, we fought to keep the records up. We won. They appealed. Today we won again! The records stay up!

Might as well post that picture of my son when he was a baby. The one where he look like he was born playing darts. In 1957. Looking like he just got some bad news about a tractor trailer his nephew was minding for him. With a face like my dad's when I tell him about my podcast.

I can’t believe how few conversations about the uses of LLMs seem to incorporate this fact. It is not a knowledge or understanding machine! It is a thing-saying machine!
Do not use LLMs for information. Of any kind. It does not *know* anything.
