Meta Invents New Way to Humiliate Users With Feed of People's Chats With AI
While reporting on the company, it has been hard to imagine what rock bottom will be, because Meta keeps innovating bizarre and previously unimaginable ways to destroy confidence in social media, invade people’s privacy, and generally fuck up its platforms and the internet more broadly.

How Tesla Takedown got its start
Musk’s interest in politics, which kicked into a new and more expensive gear when he went all in for Donald Trump during the 2024 election, was always going to invite more scrutiny for his business empire. But the grassroots movement, which began as a post on Bluesky, has become a boisterous, ragtag, and visible locus of, sorry to use the word, resistance against Musk and Trump.

Beyond Bluesky: These are the apps building social experiences on the AT Protocol
A list of AT Protocol-based, consumer-facing apps that are either built on top of Bluesky or its underlying protocol, allowing users to take back control over their social networking experiences and personal data.

After years of telling myself that enormous RPGs were something I had to play, I think i've finally come to a realization.

Cowardly Dodgers remain silent as ICE raids terrorize their fans
All because the Dodgers are afraid of offending the 32% of Los Angeles County voters who cast their ballots for Trump in the most recent presidential election, many of whom don’t expect ICE agents to ever show up at their workplace.

Nice Hat, Loser
Imagine getting up on stage for a presentation that would have cost in the ballpark of $500,000, all to promote your new video game, and instead of having people talk about it, they are instead talking about: a) Your stupid hat b) How your little speech sounded like a wizard breathed life into a downvoted Reddit comment.

I hate the word “enshittification”. It’s so overused and silly that it’s lost all meaning at this point. I’m well aware a lot of services and software have gotten inherently worse because executives need the line to go up.

The ‘white-collar bloodbath’ is all part of the AI hype machine
If AI companies can take these handy, quasi-reliable text predictors and turn them into an economic revolution, fine. But that seems so far off in the future that Amodei’s warnings feel more like an ad than a PSA. It’s on them to show their work: Show us how AI could be so destructive and how Anthropic can fix it — rather than just shouting about the risks.

It’s just a little yellow book! Of websites! And articles! With ads, even. Yet it was assembled and designed with such loving care that when I pick it up I reverently believe I am holding a work of art.

Life without advertisements is a great life
The problems with modern advertisement isn’t just the attention it takes from us but that it’s supported by an entire industry that threatens our privacy and democracy through tracking our every action and building profiles of us, even when we don’t actively interact with the platforms.
