- Just found my first "Didn't happen" account* to block, so the Twiterizing of Bluesky is clearly going forward. _____ * Not the normal skepticism type of reply, but the knee-jerk "doesn't fit my worldview" reply. Also used when the original poster is a woman.

- Reposted by John M. GambleHey, remember that time I said that pointing out that AI is giving bad data to ICE is missing the point because ICE doesn't actually care if the data is good? Check out how right I am.

- Reposted by John M. GambleIn one of videos, Sveum mentioned enjoying our running trails, which led us to find his Strava account. His account was public (no longer), so we can see he was talking about the Des Plains River Trail and he stayed at the Lincolnshire Marriott. We only found this after he left Chicago. But...
- It seemed to me that Jensen Huang had been making backpedaling sounds about AI recently, and I wonder if it's because he saw Elon Musk and Sam Altman making lunatic promises like this.

- Elon Musk believes the best way to solve the difficulties of building AI data centers on earth is to move them into outer space. His merger this week of his rocket company SpaceX with his artificial intelligence company xAI could help get them there. cnn.it/4rqAmED

- Reposted by John M. GambleHistorical analogies are arguments. So when someone makes an analogy between today and the Holocaust, or today and anything, think about they are really arguing for. What is the analogy trying to get you to do? New at @startribune.com

- Reposted by John M. GambleUsing generative AI to "enhance" images doesn't work, but people keep trying. Following the shooting death of Renée Good by ICE, social media users attempted to "unmask" the shooter with AI, resulting in numerous images that neither resembled each other nor the actual killer, Jonathan Ross.

- Well, not so much rudderless – there were half a dozen billionaires out there with their own special requests. But definitely susceptible to extortion. I do wish there had been (and there still can be!) an investigation into what Trump said to Justice Kennedy to get him to abruptly resign.
- Reposted by John M. GambleSo apparently I was right to shittalk m00t this week because it's been revealed that his boneheaded decision to establish /pol/ and subsequently ruin the website was allegedly born out of a one-on-one meeting with Jeffery Epstein.

- Reposted by John M. GambleSo, let's get this straight. Christopher "Moot" Poole created 4chan as a gathering place for hentai and CSAM enthusiasts, started /pol/ the day he met with Jeffrey Epstein, then /pol/ memed Trump to the presidency and birthed Qanon, a conspiracy theory in which Trump is a good person who hates CSAM.

- Reposted by John M. Gamble*cough* A little bit of extra info to add here: There's only one transit, so the true period is unknown. It could be anywhere between 300 and 550 days. This is an exciting candidate! But (a) we don't know if it's real, and (b) we don't know what its temperature is if it IS real.

- Reposted by John M. GambleOne thing I think it notable here is that Weiss talks about being for "the center." She's doing that thing that Elon Musk does where he goes, "Actually, my views are moderate. I don't get why people say I'm far-right." It's an effort to shift public perception of what "center" or "moderate" means.
