Make dinner. Give the kid a bath. Read about the latest public health disaster that could easily have been avoided. One episode of TV before bed.

Go to work. Reply to some emails. Grow incandescent with rage viewing the latest terrible video of a child being endangered by the power of the state. Have a salad for lunch.

Or I suppose it’s an accurate assessment of how these diploma framing companies think of how lawyers view their own credentials

Just measured and my framed law school diploma is literally 4x larger than my framed undergrad diploma, which is a pretty accurate assessment of how lawyers view their own credentials

You will not be surprised at the number of breathless conversations about space data centers I’ve heard in the Bay Area.

“But how will it work?”

“It just will.”

AI is a bubble and it will burst. So what will be left behind?

We will have coders who are really good at applied statistics; a lot of cheap GPUs, good for effects artists and climate scientists, #opensource models that run on commodity hardware, #AI tools that can do transcribing audio and video; describing images; summarizing documents; automating image editing. These will run on our laptops and phones in ways their makers never dreamed of.

Mozilla's survey about the future of Mozilla and AI is terribly biased towards AI. Make your voices heard. Tell Mozilla to be stewards of privacy and the open web, to not use AI and to stop violating the trust of the users

Wake up. Have a sip of water. Check if WWIII started. Brush teeth.

Mozilla wants your input. Here's mine:

Mozilla should be doing two things and two things only:

1: Building THE reference implementation web browser, and
2: Being a jugular-snapping attack dog on standards committees.
3: There is no 3.

Mozilla should have NOTHING to do with AI. Nobody wants it. Stop forcing AI into every corner of every project because your VC-brained management have completely lost the plot.

cool, so there's a whole new github dork people can do: claude chatlogs.

they live in .claude/logs/ and are full text records of peoples entire conversations with claude

and they're ending up in public on github because i guess people arent adding them to .gitignore

happy monday! ai is going great!

I'm on PBS NewsHour, talking about Grok: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/musks-grok-ai-faces-more-scrutiny-after-generating-sexual-deepfake-images

@ardouglass sigh 😮‍💨

@hewasaseidrbxy Costco ships! Maybe grocery stores a little farther out might deliver to you?

If you need a dose of measured optimism about the fate of the United States, read this: https://data4democracy.substack.com/p/the-wall-looks-permanent-until-it

I’ve been trying to rely on Amazon less. Turns out physical stores do still exist, other websites also have fast shipping, and I actually don’t need as much stuff as I thought anyway.

Happy 25th Birthday to Wikipedia! Critical digital society infrastructure has no equal: https://wikipedia25.org/en/

I'm helping an elderly person with a patient portal, and wow, there are about 4 different problems ranging from unclear instructions to pages that don't work well when the phone is zoomed in enough for an older person to actually read the text.

Plus, the iPhone keeps popping up unhelpful gunk.

This person isn't particularly afraid of technology either, but they literally can't do it.

I now think every web developer should be forced to walk through their processes with an 85-year-old.

X offering the use of Grok to create and share pictures of undressed women and children is horrendous.

The EU Commission has already:
• taken investigative steps
• ordered the company to retain internal documents.

X now has to fix its AI tool in the EU - and they have to do it quickly.

If not, we will not hesitate to take additional measures under the DSA.

Entire international community reacting to the USA right now:

Didn’t get my act together in time to send Christmas cards, so I thought maybe I’d send New Year’s cards. Now I’m thinking … Chinese New Year? 🫠
