Nilay: What do you think of that move?
Tim: [Laughs] I’m not the person who invented the web, sir. Again, I see that tension. Most of my conversations on Decoder about the web and the future of the web land on this tension. There are some people with power and some people without, and the web is supposed to democratize power.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:fkz42ofursnmh3vnflbuofey/bafkreihvtwbzdi6i6p5v5xecqw37ewxba4qgztzvorx4snfjkchenr6rhq@jpeg)

if you cannot prevent your model from doing this, you have an ethical, moral, and, probably, legal obligation not to release it, and if you’re working at openAI right now, this blood is on your hands, too

Designated free spech zone is so grim
ISP declares unlawful assembly again via loudspeaker now.
Unsure why since all people are doing right now is standing on the sidewalk where they've been ordered to be.
They're telling people they have to either disperse or return to designated free speech zone.

lol Ed Zitron blocked me for this
Jay has done a ton of good writing on how the media’s default framing of politics is wrong (and harmful) which is why I respect him. And since I respect a lot of what you write too, I’ll respectfully ask you to reconsider this unfairly harsh take. You read a lot into a single skeet. Take a breath.

Schrier to RFK Jr: You gave Cassidy the answer he needed to hear in order to get his confirmation vote, then as soon as you were secretary you turned around & fired all 17 members. You lied. I also want to be clear that I will lay all responsibility for every vaccine-preventable death at your feet.

I’m at the Rep. Schrier town hall in Duvall. She is very concerned. She is talking to her “Republican friends” in congress who are also concerned. Nothing yet about how to actually fix things.

There should be a kid carrying backpack with more than 35 L of storage so that you can go backpacking and not have to tie a bunch of gear awkwardly to the outside
We need some variety on the timeline. Quote this with a take that has nothing to do with politics

My kid keeps getting chomped at daycare and they never say who did it. But the other kids all have different teeth coming in. @radleybalko.bsky.social is this perhaps the least stupid use case for bite mark analysis?
