A friend is building an app to help immigrants detained by ICE.
They're a web app dev & need help with the mobile app.
Anyone have experience building/deploying mobile apps and interested in volunteering time to help a new app with a good cause?
Feel free to share with others or boost for reach.

"We will publish the system prompts" is a huge red herring and should set off alarm bells. The evidence points to the South Africa Genocide prompt being slid into an injected "post analysis", not the system prompt, so this transparency appears deliberately misleading.

I am shocked - shocked! - that the Based Maximally Truthseeking Grok has been explicitly instructed to lie about politically sensitive topics. www.reddit.com/r/OpenAI/s/C...
From the OpenAI community on Reddit: elon musk is trying to censor Grok 3. which the thoughts feature conveniently manages to entirely bypass.

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

Hard to listen to Andreesen talking to Lex about how everyone can speak their mind now, while praising Dr Oz transparently just to curry favor with Trump et al. "Free Speech" doesn't imply "True Speech", apparently.

Crypto has made it such that the right kind of celebrity can just say "I would like loads of your money please" and their followers will say "yes sure ok" and nobody thinks this is disreputable.

Grr I hate this TikTok storyline so much. It's not clear exactly what each party's strategy is but I'm certain we're getting grifted by _both_ the GOP and the CCP.

What's with everyone donating to the Trump Inauguration Fund specifically? Is it easy to funnel money from that to Trump? Would he otherwise spend his own money on it so a donation is effectively going straight to him? Is it just demonstrating willingness to do costly signalling?

The Xmas->NYE period is the time of year where I completely lose track of days of the week. "Friday" has no meaning; today is only the "27th".

Titanic struggle brewing in Tech circles over the DOGE, between those who want to make government do LESS versus those who want to make it do BETTER. There's excitement in having an injection of entropy into The System. But which version of Elon will we get?

Dad Thoughts #362: people say it’s amazing watching your toddler start having “preferences”. But that doesn’t capture it - plants have preferences. What’s cool is watching *will* construct itself out of nothing… our species is a machine for turning milk and cuddles into raw praxis

LunchMoney is a genius business because any time that you notice you’re still subscribed it’s because you’re actively using LunchMoney to look at your expenses. It’s the un-cancellable SAAS.

It turns out “throwing suitcases into the back of the car while being slightly stressed about getting to the airport on time” is the most dad-coded thing you can do.
