This is cute! But for the record, your mom opened a community Self Reliance Center teaching healthy people on a healthy planet when they were pregnant with you and didn’t consciously let even one molecule of anything fake into the mix 👣🌏

2. Signal wasn't originally developed by the major social media platforms.

It was developed by anarchist hacker Moxie Marlinspike and Trevor Perrin at Open Whisper Systems.

It was such good e2e encryption, it was adopted by all the big social media apps.

Ugh especially to this part:

"(c) ... ensure the Federal Government has unfettered access to comprehensive data from all State programs that receive Federal funding, including, as appropriate, data generated by those programs but maintained in third-party databases."

I'd like to make one thing clear: I've LONG been an advocate for Open Access to scientific knowledge. Both of my books w @mitpress.bsky.social are freely available, and I fought for that!

What I oppose is the enclosure (privatization) of profits from 'AI' (LLMs) nonconsentually trained on my work.

Sounds like a grant opportunity. Interesting experiment just drop off truckload of carts at the airport with signs that say “I’m free. Pass it along”

Sounds like a grant opportunity. What would airports do if a bunch of carts just showed up?

The next question is how to stop them. They’ve taken the company town to a whole new level, and they think they’re taking our national parks with them
