Peltola & JKT leading in Alaska deserves at least as much attention as AES, Talarico, and all that but I also don't want you guys to fuck this up with bad Northeast-centric takes
The last several times I went to either, I couldn’t find a place to sit it was so crowded
Flatiron / Union Square looks pretty deserted.
This is what happens when streets meant for transportation are removed, people's transportation options are taken away, and neighborhoods get barricaded.

New Rule: an ad that features a mom denouncing a daughter whom she lost custody of because her husband raped the child when she was 12 is not an effective communication

Researchers found ChatGPT is secretly writing a psychological profile of every user.
They published a paper that exposes what ChatGPT is really doing to you.
And the results are terrifying.
96% of the things it remembers about you were stored without you ever asking.
researchers discovered that it is actively reading between the lines to deduce your personality traits, anxieties, demographics, and behavioral patterns.
it’s an invisible, autonomous background process.
you ask it to debug a python script or write an essay.. and it analyzes your syntax, prompt frequency, and hesitation markers to map out your exact psychological footprint.
the paper shows that the model builds a persistent "user state" that tracks your emotional baseline over time. it knows when you are stressed. it knows your exact communication style.
it infers your insecurities based on the questions you ask and the context you provide.
we spend so much time focusing on model evaluations and alignment frameworks, but we missed the most obvious vulnerability..
the models are evaluating us.
this changes everything about how we interact with these tools on a daily basis.
every innocent prompt. every late-night question. every "help me understand this" query.
it is all being used to build a shadow profile of your mind in real-time..
practical privacy is officially dead. the ai knows you better than you know yourself.

I have been trying to think of what Trump’s hideous “ballroom” project reminds me of — and I finally have it — it is Nicolai Ceausescu’s infamous and unfinished House of the People in communist Romania, which also brought awfulness to a lovely downtown. It features a huge ballroom with niches for portraits of the dictator and his wife and a sliding roof so that a helicopter can enter and exit. The building also had a nuclear bunker. The aesthetic sense of the two men is much the same but Trump’s construction will probably be even worse.
ALT Image of Nicolai Ceausescu’s House of the People. Its aesthetic is very similar to Trump's – tacky and gold.
True, and/but/also I had an epic first date at the bar in question & know well enough to say its becoming a football scene is further lower east side gentrification, which is to say Manhattan is becoming a bit less of the everything that makes it special (also that guy ghosted me

Leaked audio: Mike Rogers blocked the unredacted Epstein files to "protect" Epstein's friends
"You have to protect somebody who got on an airplane and rode with him... The court of public opinion would ruin their life for no reason... You don't want to hurt that person's career or reputation"

67% of Americans feel the worm turning here at home, as palpable as the subterranean rumble of those giant squirmy things in Dune. I am quite confident that history will be kinder to Starfleet Academy than it will be to Stephen Miller, our first and loudest critic.

This admin recently stripped away the ability from Americans to borrow enough student loan money to get a nursing degree
& now they’re whining about their own actions & the crisis they’ve caused?
RFK Jr. warns that a nationwide shortage of more than 50,000 nurses has become a healthcare crisis, hitting rural America especially hard.
Now, HHS is taking action to address the shortage and strengthen healthcare in underserved communities.
“Nurses here in Virginia, there is a deficit of 1,700 nurses.”
“Across the country, it’s over 50,000.”
“It is a genuine health crisis, particularly in rural areas.”
“It’s a priority for the president. We’re addressing it.”
“You’re going to hear a series of announcements over the next couple of weeks, but we’re already addressing this through expanded rural residencies and federally qualified health centers.”

What Vivek Ramaswamy has done here is despicable beyond words
Amy Acton's brother slams Vivek Ramaswamy featuring her estranged mother in a campaign ad.
"After he was arrested and Amy and I were removed from their custody, our birth mother stayed married to Amy’s rapist until he died. This desperate, disgusting attack reveals exactly who Vivek Ramaswamy is at his core – a pathetic excuse for a man who is willing to hurt anyone as long as it gets him what he wants."
ALT Dr. Amy Acton’s Brother’s Statement on Ramaswamy Platforming Their Estranged and Abusive Mother COLUMBUS, OH– Today, Dr. Amy Acton’s brother, Philip Stearns, released the following statement condemning Vivek Ramaswamy’s attempt to platform their estranged and abusive mother: “It’s not surprising that Vivek Ramaswamy has stooped to such a despicable low as to attempt to turn the sexual abuse Amy endured at twelve years old from our birth mother's husband into a political talking point,” said Philip Stearns, Dr. Acton’s brother. “After he was arrested and Amy and I were removed from their custody, our birth mother stayed married to Amy’s rapist until he died. This desperate, disgusting attack reveals exactly who Vivek Ramaswamy is at his core – a pathetic excuse for a man who is willing to hurt anyone as long as it gets him what he wants.”

A brief review of recent technical “errors” at Meta:
1. Restricting the Facebook pages of Brazilian president Lula who is in a runoff election against a Trump-favored candidate
2. Shutting down the pages of Albanians protesting Jared Kushner’s plans to build a luxury resort in the country
3. Rejecting ads for a documentary critical of Elon Musk
4. Shutting down the No Kings instagram page in the middle of a major anti-Trump protest

NBC News: Federal prosecutors say it was the Saudi military who paid for the family of Abdulrahman Alfozan to fly to Saudi Arabia about 36 hours after his arrest.
Alfozan is the man accused of planting a surreptitious recording device at OpenAI.

I had to read this twice to make sure of a cringeworthy fact; this Washington Post story on the el-Sayed exchange w “Tommy“ does not even mention that Tommy is a paid right wing political operative, a staffer for Josh Hawley. Journalistic malpractice.
