Meredith has always been a G, but it's still exceptionally weird and very refreshing hearing from a tech exec who can see through all of this AI bullshit for what it is at its foundation: a backdoor surveillance tool.
Worth a watch:
Head of Signal, Meredith Whittaker, on so-called "agentic AI" and the difference between how it's described in the marketing and what access and control it would actually require to work as advertised.

There has to be a special hell for people who toss out acronyms and just assume that everyone else is automatically going to know what the fuck they're talking about.

I know we blame capitalism for a lot of things but I really struggle to believe there is any other system under which quite this many resources would be expended making me see ads encouraging me to replace my morning coffee with some kind of mushroom slop.

She was, in his mind, the apotheosis of the female form.
years later, she’d write, of the letters he subsequently sent her, all of which are lost, “I remember a few sentences... Here is one of them: ‘Vous êtes en moi comme une hantise.’”

Also on Reddit today, someone thinking that I am apologetic for being a white dude. Nah, friends. I think we all know that being a white dude in the US is pretty great. My sin, if you will, is thinking everyone else should have the same latitude in life that I get just by being a white dude.

I've hit that episode in my SG-1 rewatch. The one where Pete the cop wants to take Carter to the zoo, but Carter says, "There's no zoo in Colorado Springs."
But there is. There is a zoo in CO Springs.
It's the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo.
At the base of Cheyenne Mountian.
Where the Stargate is.
