This makes no sense and is a betrayal of the org’s core mission.

After almost twenty years on the platform, EFF is logging off of X.

This isn’t a decision we made lightly, but it might be overdue. 🧵(1/5)

@svd415 I like the Plato’s Cave metaphor, AI is merely casting shadows on the wall. True intelligence needs experiences with real consequences, not only gradient descent.

The death penalty is cruel, costly and broken. It’s time for California to lead again—by ending it. I make the case in this op-ed in the Sacramento Bee. https://t.co/aJ1a6DSJb5

i am nervous about the impact AI is going to have on future elections (at least until everyone gets used to it). personalized 1:1 persuasion, combined with high-quality generated media, is going to be a powerful force.

Just found an old unread message on Twitter from a long lost friend. Miss you Barlow.

Thanks David Brooks @nytdavidbrooks for your thoughtful exploration about the future of humanity in light of artificial intelligence. My fear is that we trust AI too soon, fooled by its convincing mimicry. https://t.co/dofIf5vNB9

Good to see Peru demonstrate how to properly deal with a President that does not respect the Constitution, and unlawfully clings to power. https://t.co/t7sD5nYriQ

Utah’s imminent bill to repeal #deathpenalty is a historic moment. The death penalty is in
retreat, and 240+ business leaders are joining forces to end it. We’re proud to do the same.

Congress and the Vice President have done their job despite the mob.

[Matthew Stepka @mstepka]

Watching the joint session of Congress and the Vice President intoning the wonderfully drab poetry of legal process, brings a sense of calm and awe after the unfortunate events of today.
