bro.
someone built a terminal weather app
in Rust with live ASCII animations.

it literally rains / snows inside your terminal
when it’s raining / snowing outside 😭

this is peak software.

@smileyborg Hilarious because this dude wrote a book of poetry about vibe coding

@karthikponna19 And even when I feel the need to use VS code for compatibility reasons or a specific plugin, you know I'm using VS Codium, the fork of it with the telemetry ripped out...

@karthikponna19 I reach for Sublime whenever I feel I need an app window, but most of the time I'm using vim these days. It's just way faster once you learn it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Many such cases

[Jason Bassler @JasonBassler1]

Call me a crazy "conspiracy theorist," but...

maybe military intelligence, national security systems, criminal databases, mass surveillance monitoring, immigration files, ICE operational planning, VA records, health-data reports, IRS probes, supply‑chain metrics, predictive policing analytics, social-network mapping and prosecutorial tools

shouldn’t be owned and controlled by Jeffrey Epstein’s friend and business partner?

Documentary about a Suchir by Emmy award winning director is starting soon.

It will expose our justice system and social harm by AI. It will portray Suchir and uphold his objectives. We hold his message powerfully. They silenced him but not his initiative. Suchir is will live through his work for humanity .

Update OpenAI HR released his personal files. Today she is fired

https://t.co/zHGLDtuaQh

Is as it because she had humanity and did not comply with Altman to alter Suchir’s records ? We expect challenges in getting truth

@sama @OpenAI @elonmusk

Two days ago I posted about HR not releasing files . She released yesterday and fired right away. Clear indication that they are hiding something. She failed to investigate Suchir’s internal concerns perhaps? We now know our case is strong

[Jason Bassler @JasonBassler1]

Palantir isn’t just tracking you, it’s modeling who you might become. Their software is used by ICE, cops, intel, and child welfare agencies to predict risk.

That’s AI-driven pre-crime and it’s already reality.

[Appalachian Apollo @Appala_Apollo]

@elonmusk @xai Phasing out the role of researchers & theorists who are able to dedicate their full focus to understanding AI systems & the structure of what those systems are interfacing with, & instead measuring value solely by shipping something that works, will no doubt be a crucial mistake.

[Appalachian Apollo @Appala_Apollo]

@elonmusk @xai The hard problem of consciousness hasn't been solved yet. If u don't realize that this is a significant roadblock 2 solving the biggest problem in the world (alignment), & that u will need to do something other than build & ship in order to solve it, you've lost the plot, Elon.

[Appalachian Apollo @Appala_Apollo]

@elonmusk @xai Axing consciousness exploration, philosophy of mind, spirituality, & understanding what AI systems r actually doing w/o the pressure of building "new features," "smarter models," & "scaling" (b4 u r ready 2 do so) is a massive safety risk driven by blind ambition & reductionism.

[Appalachian Apollo @Appala_Apollo]

We will look back one day and realize transhumanist philosophy is, in fact, a spiritual and mental illness, much like addiction and eating disorders.

My wife just compared all this tech-adjacent extreme longevity focus in men to anorexia in women. A physical manifestation of anxiety and lack of control. And now I can't get the thought out of my head. Spot on.

@ADHDForReal Forgot MIT OCW!!!

[Appalachian Apollo @Appala_Apollo]

Such an important reminder 😔

[taha @KhanStopMe]

this should be illegal, is this not literally just thief of service?
