New personal site. It's a video of me ghost riding the whip plus random art I made.

That's it. That's the whole pitch. https://t.co/DdQQDerwO0

@cantdon I see. Ejaculation at a different time = execution. Very wise. Very sensible. Ima go ahead and block you now.

We could see an end to genetic disease in our lifetimes.

[Noor Siddiqui @noor_siddiqui_]

I went to TED to talk about the biggest injustice in the world nobody takes seriously.

The genetic lottery is wildly unfair. Why should a dice roll decide your life?

It robs babies of the ability to walk. To talk. To make it to her first birthday. One wrong letter out of 3 billion. And we shrug and call it bad luck.

It blinded my mother. After years of testing, the answer was: there’s nothing we can do.

She’s not alone. 400 million people live with a rare genetic disease. Half are children. 95% have no approved treatment.

I’m done pretending it’s fate. It’s a typo. And for the first time in history, we can read all 3 billion bases before a pregnancy begins.

@kimmaicutler Tried to buy her second home once. Small world.

@cantdon You deselect fellow human beings in favor of others when you decide to ejaculate two seconds earlier or later. I don’t feel a ton of allegiance to people who don’t exist.

@AnnaKateShelt @noor_siddiqui_ What could inspire such a petty, mean spirited comment?
*Checks bio* “Bioethicist”
Ah. Yes, that would do it.

If we’d invented bioethicists earlier we’d still be scratching our smallpox scars and dying of cholera.

@danfaggella I wonder if we saw the same post

Quiet week for the “AI doesn’t need guardrails” people. Someone should do a wellness check.

3% of “critical” software security bugs, in all of recorded history, have been found in the last month.

This is on pace to find another ~100,000 bugs this year alone, adding ~26% more vulnerabilities to the all time total

Do you realize how fucking insane that is?

[Arram @arram]

@goodhartproof I’m sure it happens but in 18 years of living in the Bay Area and talking to thousands of founders I never once heard of this happening.

@growing_daniel Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard.

@dfeuling_ Umm. I fix bugs with Claude all the time, including security issues. You’ve used an LLM before?

[Arram @arram]

@dfeuling_ How do you know they were patched with open models ?

[Arram @arram]

@Fansplain3r How do you define a private model ?

@__el__toro__ Is this a sexual orientation? Asking for a friend.

[Arram @arram]

@finbarr We should get a group together sometime.

[Arram @arram]

I've assumed for a while that there are no personal secrets or privacy in the future. I hope I'm wrong, but it doesn't look like it.

A general thesis of mine is that there is vast amounts of private data hidden in plain sight that will eventually be made public.

[NSA Cyber @NSACyber]

Effective Immediately, all organizations using PHP for their systems are advised to be prepared for an update addressing two critical vulnerabilities. PHP is widely used for web applications. These vulnerabilities often provide a direct path to the server's file system or database. If an immediate update is not feasible, it is recommend that organizations take the system offline until it can be fully mitigated. NSA will follow up shortly with more specific guidance.

@KelseyTuoc @mattyglesias It's pretty effective. I close the tab 83% of the time.

[Arram @arram]

@KelseyTuoc @mattyglesias I had claude build an extension that makes me wait 15 seconds to see a new twitter tab.
