NEW: we tested Zenni's anti-facial recognition glasses coating. "ID Guard" adds a pink sheen to the surface of the glasses that reflects the infrared light used by some facial recognition cameras.

Zenni’s Anti-Facial Recognition Glasses are Eyewear for Our Paranoid Age

These anti-facial recognition glasses technically work, but won’t save you from our surveillance dystopia.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

letting SNAP expire right before thanksgiving and right as health care premiums skyrocket, on paper, seems like the kind of thing destined to be the downfall of a regime, setting aside that it’s gonna be a very thin christmas for a lot of people because of tariffs

Brace for another wave of x refuges

& What's happening: Elon Musk confirmed that X will delete all heuristics from its recommendation system within six weeks. In other words, the familiar logic of likes, replies, and reposts that shaped Twitter for years is about to disappear. In its place, Grok, the platform's in-house Al model, will read and watch more than one hundred million posts
and videos every day to decide what users see. At the same time, X is testing a new interface that keeps users inside the app even when they open external links.

How this hits reality: This marks the first time a major social platform has handed full control of content discovery to an Al model.
Engagement farms, trend-hacking accounts, and traditional growth tactics may soon lose their edge. The new winners will be those who write in ways that Grok interprets as engaging, turning social media optimization into a new form of prompt engineering. This shift could reshape influencer strategies, ad targeting, and even political communication in a matter of weeks.
• Key takeaway: X did not just change its algorithm; it replaced it with an Al reader.
Your reach will soon depend on how fluently you can speak Grok.

Mr. Bouie,

Having been educated as a print journalist in college, and then having become a constitutional scholar and practicing attorney, I have lately been analyzing the news and the opinion-editorials of the popular press. When I read your NYT column re-printed in my Denver Post today, I felt the need to help educate you about how you can do your job better.

FYI…
There were NO Children’s Hospitals when I was a kid.
Because kids weren’t sick.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The claim is false. Children's hospitals in the US date back to 1855 (e.g., Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, 1855; Boston Children's, 1869). Infant mortality was higher in the 1950s-70s (29.2/1,000 in 1950 vs. 6.1/1,000 in 2010), indicating kids were sick.

one thing thats kinda crazy to get your head around is not that the musk and thiel masters of the universe are ungrateful for the vast public infrastructure, public funding of research, and robust systems of laws and rules that made their wealth possible. it's that theyre too dumb to understand it
