@RepLaurelLee This will cause mass censorship, surveillance, and create more identity theft and harassment.

This does not protect anyone. Only Big Tech and corrupt politicians benefit.

[Julie Barrett @juliecbarrett]

Better than I predicted, but the KIDS Act still passed the House.

Here are the 32 Republicans and 89 Democrats that voted against massive data collection and surveillance of American children and citizens. 🙏🏼🇺🇸

My prediction that KIDS Act stalls in the Senate stands. They will hold out for KOSA and duty of care.

[Justin Amash @justinamash]

Here’s the roll call of members of Congress who betrayed the Constitution and the American people by voting yes on the KIDS Act.

The sickest part is that these people used “protecting kids” as an excuse to further insert government between parents and their children—all while establishing a surveillance infrastructure to monitor and control Americans of all ages.

[Justin Amash @justinamash]

Any member of Congress who votes yes today on the KIDS Act—empowering the government at parents’ expense and turning every American into a surveillance target—should be removed from office.

[Rep. Warren Davidson @Rep_Davidson]

Your phone’s location history is a record of your private life. The government should not be able to collect that information from innocent Americans without a warrant just because they happened to be near a crime.

This ruling is an important step toward restoring the warrant requirement for Americans’ sensitive data.

KC’s great World Cup energy is getting so much attention that other host cities are complaining lol

[Shlippi @realshlippi]

@justinamash They need to look into @Flock_Safety

If having a series of networked cameras that upload identifying information to an AI to profile everyone that be queried without a warrant, then what is the line? Do we have any expectation of privacy anywhere we go?

Kansas looked after us; we look after Kansas. 🤝🇩🇿🇺🇸

Unfortunately they’ll get it any other number of ways

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

Important SCOTUS ruling. Get a damn warrant if snooping on cell phone locations!

[Justin Amash @justinamash]

Warning! This is moving fast.

Congress is rushing the KIDS Act to expand the surveillance state under the guise of “protecting kids.”

Identity checks to use the internet.

Government monitoring and control of all Americans.

It’s coming if you don’t act now.

Tell Congress: No!

[Suffy 🦢 @drsuffy]

That's crazy, I wonder how many plates it record out here in this field on this playground

[Breanna Morello @BreannaMorello]

🚨SCOTUS RULING🚨

SCOTUS ruled that when police get your detailed cell phone location history from Google (through a "geofence" warrant), it counts as a Fourth Amendment search.

This means you have a reasonable expectation of privacy in that data.

[Burton Staggs 🥋 @burtstaggsnews]

@BreannaMorello Me looking at a Flock camera to my left thinking… hmmm , does this bring Flock records into play

[Mark Gurman @markgurman]

There’s no question that ChatGPT has created value. But the costs are now becoming real to many customers for the first time: pricier devices, tighter component availability and an industry now shaped around serving AI infrastructure rather than making products cheaper & better.

I think both Fable 5 and GPT-5.6 get approved for general release next week, and for use outside of the United States as well. But people should remember this moment and remember this feeling, because it is almost inevitable that we eventually reach a point where approval does not arrive.

Capitalism is going to tip the scales this time. I doubt they will approve one model and not the other, because doing so would be seen as incredibly anti-competitive. Fable and GPT-5.6 will probably receive the same clearance, probably on the same day. I also doubt they want to restrict sales outside the US, because that would be seen as anti-business and would trigger a major backlash against American closed-source AI. The rumblings of which you can already hear today. There is also a plan now taking shape on both the US left and right to create some version of an AI public wealth fund that pays a dividend directly to American citizens. That fund needs to be fed by the global sale of the big labs top models to people outside the US. So I think there will be no freeze on their use outside the United States this time.

The other reason is that allowing this will make people happy, and it will soften the fact that Mythos, as was announced yesterday, is available only to a vetted group of US agencies and companies. I do not think that this basic structure will change from here on out. Mythos may eventually be made available to certain allies, but only after the US government, its agencies, and then some chosen American companies have access to Mythos-2, Sol-2, or whatever the new uber-model turns out to be.

I do not think this gap ever closes again, not even for allies. And that means the US will increasingly possess an intelligence advantage that touches almost everything: voting, markets, corporations, academia, infrastructure, and the internal operations of foreign states. Having Mythos-n will always be trumped by whoever has Mythos-n+1. Anthropic themselves have said within nine months Mythos will look like a toy. That advantage, standing at the top of this tower, is too large to give up voluntarily. It also means that many things will become suspect. People will see shadows everywhere. Barring espionage, a deliberate leak, or the emergence of a non-US competitor at the top end of the scale, this structure will persist for some time. The public fight is about access to models. But the real fight is about access to the future. And from this point forward, whoever holds this power will also become increasingly capable of keeping it for themselves.

How is the fact that a single North American creek spills both east AND west not mentioned every time the continental divide is explained?

Yes, you can live a fine life without this fact. But you can not be well educated by a system that considers such facts unimportant. Truly.

The worst thing you can ever do is take a long break from the gym.

Not because you lose muscle.
You can rebuild that pretty easily.

It's worse than that:
