The fentanyl crisis is out of control and harm reduction maximalism is glamorizing drug use in ways that are harmful.

We know beer and cigarette ads led to bad public health outcomes: why are public health officials encouraging fentanyl use?

Why did they give them such a small couch

This from the guy who attempted to cut $100 million in annual affordable housing funding to give tax breaks to downtown corporations?

Researcher and scientist Benn Jordan describes Flock cameras' current capabilities📷🤖👀

"where I live... I can't go anywhere without being tracked. Literally. I'm not exaggerating when I say that"

"If I go to the grocery store, to Chick-fil-A, into the city, when I drive out of town here, I'm being tracked every step of the way"

"And now the cameras have evolved a bit. They have ones that zoom in on people. They have ones that have all types of recognition"

"Like, you could type in 'man in red shirt with brown shoes.' It'll show you every single person who was wearing that in the city over the last 30 days"

"And then you have Flock Nova, which compares that with open- source intelligence data, which is like your Strava bike rides, the things you've read that are on your Goodreads and so on"

"To me, it's clearly a Fourth Amendment violation. Everybody has the right to privacy"

"The fact that police can access this without a warrant, I mean, while it's very convenient for police in a lot of situations, the efficacy of if it actually reduces crime, nobody's been able to figure that out yet"

"I think what it ultimately is is a waste of money that is ultimately going to be ruled as a Fourth Amendment violation whenever the Supreme Court hears it"

This makes me so angry. Not a single one of these Decels was in YC Summer 2026 batch.

They must be exterminated.

I’m sure this has nothing to do with OpenAI redesigning the core ChatGPT experience to force codex on people on July 9

We didn't see anything! #flock #anotherflockdown

Another #Flock down

I said this about AI well over a year ago. Using it to diagnose and fire people with medical conditions so they lose their insurance AND their income is somehow even more heartless and evil than I’d predicted.

RIP Garry Tan’s marriage to the founder of the “first Asian American publishing house” whose biggest title is a memoir by Dion Lim

[Ronan Farrow @RonanFarrow]

In our recent investigation, Sam Altman defended OpenAI’s culture as "normal competitive business." A new Apple lawsuit alleges trade secret theft "at every level," citing an engineer downloading confidential files while messaging "LOL... so funny." The complaint includes claims of misconduct "normalized and exemplified by leadership."

@neo_antiquarian It is so easy to manipulate Grok if it's a topic with no data points. You can make your own and feed it in 5-6 posts, it looks like, and a new truth is born.

[Tary Gann @tarygann]

@neo_antiquarian "@garrytan won't even probably see this post"

I know he won't because he blocked me as soon as I followed you.
