       @simon I appreciated your post explaining these journalism-isms! I had to chuckle when I saw this in the WaPo story: "said two of the people, as well as an additional person"

       @futurebird consider Crystal Light as your taper. I’m drinking highly watered down Crystal Light now.

       @futurebird I’m feeling a little disoriented by the various efforts for and against different kinds of surveillance, the the camps from which they arise.

       @hypolite @futurebird tell the state where I’ve been and when, without the hassle of a subpoena to a telecom company supported by probable cause.

       @hypolite @futurebird your question is a bit like asking, “You already live at a known address, how is that any different from sending the government your location every hour?”

       @futurebird Nothing burns like the cold. Contrarywise, one of my favorite ice breaker questions is, “Tell me one thing about yourself that you think will surprise me.” The last answer I got: “I learned to drive on acid.”

       @xor I wonder if governments have started seeding GitHub with repos full of backdoored code to increase the likelihood it will end up in gen AI-produced code.

       @aparrish that’s interesting. My intuition is that this was not what the people making LLMs set out to do, but I see the utility to authoritarians.

       @futurebird highly unlikely someone as enlightened as Shakespeare identified strongly with any denomination, is how I see it.

       @futurebird may I suggest a movie-style “bomb” with a countdown and buttons and wires sticking out of it, and it’s a game where you have to disarm it with inadequate information about its design and operation?

       @futurebird that’s good advice. Were you carrying it on the subway?
