Ok, I am a bad programmer. But AI can write better code than me faster than me. So what’s the problem here? I really struggle to understand this mentality when it comes to using AI for coding (which I’d argue it’s actually good at!) https://t.co/RYEbjJDfqU

The misogynistic smear campaign half the media has been running on Emilia for days now is disgraceful. She should never have to reveal all of this personal information and yet she’s forced to bc these tabloids are spinning up slop

@TaylorLorenz I think the issue is whether or not the officials using those encrypted apps are intentionally or not avoiding open-records laws.
This has been a running issue for the NY press corps since Cuomo's BBMs and has been a question facing every NY pol since.

I tracked just how obsessively cable news has covered Hasan Piker. According to my research, Fox News mentioned him in 566 segments across 267 programs since 8/4.
And in the last week alone, they ran 107 segments totaling nearly 8 hours of airtime!

What’s so disgusting in all of this coverage of a completely fake manufactured scandal is the way they frame encryption as some nefarious thing and not basic security inherent in most messaging apps. Just complete tech illiterate slop.

@TaylorLorenz Very interested to see how this is handled when you have universities, cities, stores, etc. with multi-year Flock contracts they signed a while ago...

I’m becoming concerned a lot of ppl think Flock was invented literally yesterday. ALPR cameras have been around for years and Flock was founded a decade ago. I share concerns about misuse of any surveillance system but u can argue against ALPRs without pretending they are a new

.@RonDeSantis is right. If Flock cameras were around in 2020, Big Government would have used them to crack down on Americans who refused to be locked down or comply with vaccine mandates.

I had so much fun getting to visit @RainmakerCorp this week and meeting @ADoricko! What they’re doing is truly fascinating.
They just produced 19M gallons of water in Alaska via next-gen cloud seeding and are the first company ever to provably produce precipitation in Alaska.

5 shops on York Blvd were bought by an equity firm, denied lease renewals, and are being evicted with a 60-day notice. Only 1 found a new location nearby. With rents possibly hitting $10k, these mom-and-pop shops may soon be a memory on York and HLP. https://t.co/onBKCA1Gje
