📣THREAD: It’s surprising to me that so many people were surprised to learn that Signal runs partly on AWS (something we can do because we use encryption to make sure no one but you–not AWS, not Signal, not anyone–can access your comms).

It’s also concerning. 1/
PSA: we're aware that Signal is down for some people. This appears to be related to a major AWS outage. Stand by.

I buy $1B of GPUs from you:
- boring
- just a transaction
- markets are unimpressed

I invest $1B in your company, and you provide me with GPUs worth $1B:
- genius
- both stocks go up
- healthy market growth

New, from me: Elon Musk talks about saving our species. But the greatest legacy of his time in government will be to condemn millions to death because he could not discern reality from a paranoid fantasy.

Meta is perfectly capable of making this fully secure and private. Meta also has a track record of breaking their rules and the law and use your data to better sell ad space because that’s their core business, and fines are already priced into operating costs.

I encourage everyone to spend tons of time with AI chat bots and reading the content they create because, like vaccines, it inoculates you to AI slop via exposure to their average and predictable writing patterns, so your brain can learn to tune them out

microsoft is to software what AI slop is to quality writing: stuff that seems to make sense at first but quickly shows itself to be convoluted and sometimes genuinely alien crap
