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. 🧪

It may be a sign of my age but I remember a time when the Internet was designed so there wasn't a singular point of failure which took out half the Internet.

Cloudflare goes down way too often and way too many sites and resources use it

Straight from the mouth of founder and investor @floydmarinescu.bsky.social:

Corporate are not what motivates investment or entrepreneurship, they undermine the things that do, and historically have never worked.

So why try and tax credit our way to prosperity?

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.
