It me, internet
Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Yes! This is so important! Machine Learning is doing wonderful things like mapping Martian craters and analyzing microbe genomes. LLMs are a very specific form & it’s them doing these huge amounts of harm. I also sometimes say “Gen AI”
when I mean both LLMs and art generators; I try to never say AI

Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. 🧪

SNAP recipients have to provide documentation, be interviewed, frequently recertify, and are subject to onerous restrictions and made to jump through hoops.
Yet we’re accused of fraud and our lives threatened by people who provide not one shred of evidence.

They are already downsizing (not rightsizing) SNAP via back door administrative means. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-big-be...
Rollins on why Americans will have to reapply for SNAP: "Clearly there's a right-sizing that needs to happen. The unintended consequence of the Democrat shutdown is now the spotlight has been shined on and we have to make sure we're able to make sure it's going to the right people."

You've probably seen Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on the airwaves denouncing the "toxic politics" in the United States. Let's look at who helped make these politics so toxic.

Great news that the Senate has passed the bill forcing the DOJ to release its Epstein file. Now Bondi must comply. But our work cannot stop there. We need to force the Treasury to release the Epstein bank records too. I have a bill to make that happen. FOLLOW THE MONEY.

Perfect example of the separation of powers! 🙃
When Trump opposed the release of the files, #PA01 Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick obediently refused to sign the discharge petition which moved The Epstein Files Transparency Act to the House floor for a vote. Trump changed his mind Sunday and so Fitzpatrick was given permission to vote for it Tuesday.
