Everyone wants to be data driven, but no one wants to let data drive. Human capitalist.

@Popehat I think of Twitter as the death of the straw man fallacy. You can find some idiot that supports any arbitrary combination of bad ideas. We need better ways to identify real discourse.

[Kevin Hill @CyborgTribe]

Well fuck it. It was a good month. See you all on sbusatck, or however I have to spell it.

[Karen Attiah @KarenAttiah]

I'm not leaving Twitter.

But the party is definitely over.

And I feel like the sucker who stayed too long, while the under-age drunks with fake ids are burping and puking everywhere, and starting fights in the parking lot.

[Kevin Hill @CyborgTribe]

@RadioFreeTom I just wish we didn’t “play act” so much, and lived by our stated values. If you are sick, wear a fucking mask.

Maybe government is often seen as a failure because it tries to be a backstop against cultural failures and picks righteous battles it can’t win.

[Kevin Hill @CyborgTribe]

Many of my favorite things seem blindingly obvious with an ounce of hindsight.

Oliver, pls pivot this into what it should always have been. Verify a real ID or a real Corp. Onetime upfront. Pair monthly costs with security services.

Legacy Verification is back with the our new Chrome extension that should go public tomorrow.

Anyone who was previously verified with the old system gets a new green checkmark.

Thanks to @roberrrt_s's amazing coding and @travisbrown's awesome work collecting Twitter data

@TaelurAlexis I, for a bit, would play a “foreign language drinking game” where you would have 1 native speaker and 2 novices. The native speaker would be the judge, both novices would play. Judge says a phrase, players repeat, judge determines who was closest and who drinks.

@RadioFreeTom I think your current brain space has to be “wait, were they crazy the whole time?”

[Axios @axios]

Questions around AI are often framed as a battle between man and machine, ignoring what's possible when they team up instead.

TED devoted a session highlighting ways that cutting-edge artists are engaging with AI.

What can we learn from “the rare humble bot,” an AI programmed to be awful at chess? It’s a “reminder that intelligent programs can still surprise, delight, and even teach within a clear framework that the user controls,” writes @_jacobsweet. https://t.co/d4TuNYAOXM

@neilshyminsky Who hurt you? Was it THE SMOKE MONSTER?!?!!

[SC Media @SCMagazine]

Attackers are using artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance conversational scams, such as the so-called "pig butchering" social engineering scams, over mobile devices, @proofpoint researchers say. #cybersecurity #infosec #ITsecurity https://t.co/OHlblo70yk

@RadioFreeTom I hate if I’m the one who has to tell you this, but constitutional originalism was always a form of argument, not a judicial philosophy.

[Kevin Hill @CyborgTribe]

@LeahTiscione See, now that’s the level of humor I came for.

[Kent Beck 🌻 @KentBeck]

I’ve been reluctant to try ChatGPT. Today I got over that reluctance. Now I understand why I was reluctant.

The value of 90% of my skills just dropped to $0. The leverage for the remaining 10% went up 1000x. I need to recalibrate.

[Kevin Hill @CyborgTribe]

I remember my late, great, genetics prof in college

“There are a bunch of idiots out there that think it is ‘nature + nurture’ and argue about which is bigger. What they don’t understand it is is more like ‘nature * nurture’.”

- Ray Coppinger

[Adam Bienkov @AdamBienkov]

Matt Goodwin says developments in genetic science will make younger generations more conservative as they understand the "inherent differences" between different groups.

[Kevin Hill @CyborgTribe]

Yet another reason why Cyborgs > AI.

@RadioFreeTom At least you didn’t have it half as bad as Hofsteader

[Kevin Hill @CyborgTribe]

@johnprendergass Just curious, which cert? Good luck and congratulations to your future self!

[Kevin Hill @CyborgTribe]

@MarkAllerton The best journeys I’ve ever been on I haven’t quite known what was beyond the next turn. One of those times I literally almost died. I weirdly do still think of it as a certain type of fun.
