I guess you make a protracted 12-hour series on solitude and isolation and you invite this sort of thing, but: it is shocking to me how little I myself have progressed from the first conversation in this first episode—recorded with @juskewitch.bsky.social & @lazenby.bsky.social in april 2019. fuck.
Been more than 5 years now, and the darkness of winter is coming. Imma listen to @relentlesspicnic.com’s Cabin series again.

you really couldn't do better than 25 years after 9/11 dick cheney finally dies on the same day as a majority of NYC voters elect a socialist muslim mayor. that is some mythic lightbearer being sweatily forged in the darkness type mythos.

i’ve said this before but lemme say it again. it makes absolutely 0 sense to talk about “misuse” of llms because there is no clear use or purpose for llms to begin with. genAI is a purposeless tech floating around looking for uptake

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

forget what's actually under the hood here (which I'm sure is ML powered by a clearview-sized database, if not just clearview). but to make an analogy: the elisions, reversals, and swap-outs that turn this ostensible exercise of justice into its opposite are what genAI will enable *for everything*
New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people

a thing to think about in the future is that this is something a democratic congress will need to reign in, and we desperately need more democratic congressional reps to actually take the time to learn and understand how technology works, wyden isn't going to live forever

ICE and CBP Agents Are Scanning Peoples’ Faces on the Street To Verify Citizenship
Videos on social media show officers from ICE and CBP using facial recognition technology on people in the field. One expert described the practice as “pure dystopian creep.”

While the feds continue to play stupid games, SNAP recipients are set to lose food aid for the next month. In the Bay Area, a growing number of restaurants are stepping up to help, and we're maintaining the list. Share with anyone who needs it. www.coyotemedia.org/these-bay-ar...
These Bay Area Restaurants Are Offering Free Food to SNAP Recipients
Amid a government shutdown that will cut off aid for 42 million Americans, local food scene folks plan to pick up the slack.
