The state of open source AI is miserable. I could only find two major AIs that are open weight and commercial, but idk if a good open source model exists anymore.

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes.
You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment.
My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc.

This was so obvious
Senator Mark Warner spills the beans about "the real story" of how the TikTok ban went down. Turns out, its passage had more to do with the Gaza war than China. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/tiktok-ban...

📣 MAJOR MAJOR PSA 📣
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO SIGN UP FOR A PROTEST. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO "REGISTER" TO SHOW SOLIDARITY. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO GIVE YOUR NAME, ADDRESS, AND PHONE NUMBER TO HAND OUT AND DISTRIBUTE MATERIALS.
YOU JUST SHOW UP.

also if you see a website about a “strike” or other large-scale protest, and they ask you to “sign up” by giving your personal information, DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR INFORMATION! they are almost certainly honeypots! and any that might not be can easily be compromised!

An EEOC admin. judge sent a fiery all-department email this AM alleging:
1. Trump's exec orders & instructions to target private citizens with them are illegal.
2. the judge had sent an earlier email with a similar tone yesterday that later vanished from their sent folder & colleagues' inboxes.

Musk’s entire profile is based on fabrications and titles he bought.
The fact that this is completely unknown to most folks terrifies me. They think, despite everything, that he’s a super smart engineer.
