I've said for years that Twitter has become nothing but a hate site and a vector for harassment.
And now it's a doxxing tool.
Get the fuck off of Twitter, now. And pressure the organizations you work with to get off.
It's a danger to everyone's safety.

NEW: Elon Musk's Grok chatbot will, with minimal prompting, provide residential addresses of everyday Americans.
Prompts as simple as "[name] address" immediately returned accurate home addresses of private citizens — alongside other personal info we didn't ask for.

The first school to market itself as AI free is going to corner the market on people interested in actually learning. And I would not be surprised if rich families and the children of people creating this tech were the first movers.
My employer, Dartmouth College, today boasts it's 1st Ivy "to launch AI at an institutional scale." It is doing this by partnering--"more than a collaboration"--with Anthropic, a company that stole the books of many faculty, me included, which many of us are suing.

The 1981 radio dramatisation of The Lord of the Rings is so fucking good.
Ian Holm as Frodo is so beautiful especially as he played Bilbo in the films.
Bill Nighy is amazing as Sam.
There’s so much to love about this adaptation.

Gavin Newsom spent the early months of Trump 2 having friendly chats with far-right extremists. He praised Steve Bannon shortly after he gave a literal Nazi salute.
Google "Newsom vetoes" for a long list of things he has fucked up for California. He's a snake and you shouldn't trust him.

You may have gripes...nobody is perfect, but Newsom has been a great governor. He's an excellent administrator, and if you want to join the circular firing squad which has destroyed progressive politics, be it on you.
