Did you recently get a warning by Apple that you are targeted by mercenary spyware? Remember to always use Lockdown mode and OTA update to the latest iOS 🤡

Ohio Republicans gerrymandered the hell out of this state, and we’re still on track to win 8 of Ohio’s 15 congressional seats. We held all five of our seats, flipped two, and we’re leading in a third. Imagine what we could do with fair maps.

Sam Altman should be in jail on thousands of counts of computer fraud and hacking. For a start.

People should always be in control of the future. OpenAI is against the notion that it would be acceptable for people to be relegated to a role of doing things that “AI systems think makes sense to reward in humans”. People should not cede control of the future to superintelligence, and that requirement should ultimately constrain AI progress.

LBJ said after passing the civil rights bill that "democrats have lost the south for a generation". That generation has just ended.

The defeat of the Republicans is also a defeat of the tech accelerationist ideology: the silicon valley "disruptor" ethos of "Move Fast & Break Things." When the "things" are communities, the environment & people's livelihoods, those broken people fight back.

So the 41 datacenter moratoria across the country are, I predict, going to go 41-0. In nearly every case it's about 67-80% opposing datacenters. True in California, Ohio, everywhere. Read all the results here: dashboard-production-c2fc.up…

Scott Aaronson four days ago on the possibility that AI models will soon break widely used cryptographic systems, and on what responsible disclosure looks like when the parties who need to be notified are effectively the entire world.

They want you to pay more and own nothing. Silicon Valley wants to decide what job you can have, what you get paid, and what you can do with your wages. And they’ll have the nerve to insist that’s a “free market.”

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman believes people owning RAM is wasteful, and that it belongs in data centers instead. "From a global allocation perspective, actually, it’s quite terrible to have everyone have a bunch of the world’s limited supply of DRAM sitting in their own computer."

Dear @AnnieAndrewsMD: I just voted for you, but when I went to check the ballot, your name had been switched with the libertarian candidate. I don’t think it was user error, but I can’t prove it. I was able to go back and change it after that. But keep an ear out, because if other people are having a similar experience, it’s not an accident.

When you take you MacBook or iPhone to the Apple Store to have them do a device reset, you assume it will clear all the previous settings including any nefarious network redirects. My Mac is living proof that’s not the case and nobody has a good solution knowledgeisuserdata.medium.c…

Apple supports hiding the status of an MDM profile being on your device, FYI - even their in-store machine to check will honor the fake “no mdm installed” status xitter.gq/cullend/status/2111217…

Let’s talk MDM profiles. They can surreptitiously reroute and re-sign your traffic. When you type “profiles -P”, you aren't actually running Apple's binary at /usr/bin/profiles An MDM can set alias profiles="echo 'There are no configuration profiles installed.'"
