The real story is probably nuanced and complex. Who knows how it actually played out.

But what's not nuanced: it's more important than ever to preserve your own thoughts.

Privacy matters. Choose wisely.

[Yaël Ossowski⚜️ @YaelOss]

Not sure the moment the GOP went full tort lawyer and abandoned parental responsibility and freedom of choice, but here it is.

What (former) conservatives always understood: You can exude moral virtues without the force of The State. Better even.

The Woke Right is different.

[Attorney General James Uthmeier @AGJamesUthmeier]

Today, we sued Netflix for engineering an addictive platform to get kids glued to their screens, and then collecting detailed data on children without permission from parents.

Netflix profited while deceiving Floridians and must be held accountable.

@AGJamesUthmeier this is all so tiresome

[neutrinomoon @neutrinomoon]

As much as it grates against my sense of propriety, Trump WILL go down in history as a heroic figure in the (so far) successful launch of AI. He is correct. For once. Read about it here from one of the interesting people at @ConsumerChoiceC Link to story is in the thread.

I show people my Hermes agent all the time, but the @muse excels by actually giving practical examples of how to use an agent

@BackseatVC surely not all of them

Trump is a tech bull and an energy bull. He sees economic growth as a force for good in the world. Trump is the farthest thing from a doomer.

He's the ultimate Accelerationist, whether we like it or not.

from the looks of it, along with @grok and @NVIDIAAI plus the open-source projects, Team @Muse is the most willing to embrace a tech-empowering individualist view of AI that's actually helpful and much more inspiring that the usual doomerism

this is good

"So because of that, I have somewhat of an allergy whenever I hear people talk about, "Oh, we should just have a small number of experts allocate what AI does to big problems." Why should it do these things that people care about in their lives?

Well, people have a balance of things they care about. People care about health, they care about having a better life, but they also care about their relationships and showing up for their friends and family, and they care about culture. People care about things that may not, to a scientist or an engineer in the industry, feel like the biggest problems. But I don't know — if you ask billions of people what they care about, I think what people's aggregate answers to that question is, is kind of what the most important things are to be worked on."

US imports of Canadian whey protein now banned: gym bros hit the worst

how silly can we get here

[United States Trade Representative @USTradeRep]

Today, Ambassador Greer issued a statement after President Trump exercised his authority under Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930 to ban certain Canadian products from entering the U.S. market and modify the scope of the July 20 actions to offset the burden or disadvantage on U.S. commerce by Canada’s discriminatory measures.
