Well, this is an #Anthropic quote from February (which is in #AI terms ancient history) but I do find it hilarious.
You may have heard the first part of the quote but I do think that it gains with the sentences after:
"we don’t know if the models are

In 2010 I said this in a comment on Phil Wilson’s blog:
“Invest in blogging…. it’s the future! (And probably more future-proof than other platforms.)”

Help! I've been thinking so much about decentralized platforms and open protocols lately that my brain has become completely decentralized itself. 🙃
Time to go touch some grass.

Google's keyword ad practices face renewed criticism after the Delhi High Court ruled against Google in a trademark dispute involving Indian company Hindware (Jagmeet Singh/TechCrunch)

Founders seize on Indian court ruling to revive criticism of Google's ad business | TechCrunch
The ruling drew support from founders, while lawyers said it could force platforms to revisit how they handle trademarked keywords.

This might be why the Fediverse is such a nice place, but also why it doesn't seem to be as engaging (for some people) as the big tech alternatives. People are just so interesting here. I definitely don't see the rage posting that is present on other platforms..

who is committed to be an independent leader in Congress,
and that’s who I am,” Wood said in an interview with NEWS CENTER Maine.…

Platforms for charging wireless cars now fit on a bench, no test track needed
Scientists from Tokyo Metropolitan University have devised a rotating tabletop device to study wireless charging in electric vehicles. Testing on real tracks takes up vast areas at significant cost. The team not only built a prototype but used simulations to demonstrate safety and similar charging to a linear track. They successfully reproduced movement at 40 kilometers per hour, promising accelerated global research into next-gen charging for EVs.

“A jury in LA has delivered a damning verdict for two of the world's most popular digital platforms, Instagram and YouTube.
It ruled those apps are addictive, and deliberately engineered that way – and that its owners have been negligent in their safeguarding of the children who have used them.
…
Some experts have described the verdict as big tech's "big tobacco" moment, and we know how that worked out - although it didn't stop people smoking altogether…

What next for big tech after landmark social media addiction verdict?
The ruling could be the beginning of the end of social media as we know it, writes the BBC's technology editor Zoe Kleinman.

Drone and UAV Forensic
This repository is designed to accelerate the forensic analysis of DIY FPV drones and to help automate technical reporting from seized or recovered artifacts.
The goal is pragmatic: extract useful evidence faster, normalize outputs, and produce data that can be reused in reports or shared into investigative platforms such as MISP.

I need to share with you one of my biggest worries about this year's all-important midterm elections.
Twenty years ago, the best way to communicate with voters was through TV, radio, and newspapers
—and Democrats were pretty good at it.
But everything has changed. A majority of swing voters now get their news from social media, podcasts, and YouTube.
And on these platforms, Democrats are getting absolutely steamrolled.

Even as someone who has only ever used SwiftUI (not AppKit or UIKit) as my primary macOS/iOS dev toolkit, this article rings so true.
There's a whole bunch of stuff that #Apple could fix, pretty easily, and they just… haven’t. It's sad.
A big part of what keeps me on macOS is the platform itself—letting everything become mushy web-pages-pretending-to-be-apps makes it much easier to en…
