Under-discussed point. Flock cameras will make it plausible to have video of you doing anything at any time. With AI getting as good as it is, that means you can be framed for anything at any time.

Everyone on earth takes a poll by pressing either a red or a blue option. If more than half the population presses red, everyone survives. If less than half of people press the red option, only people who pressed the blue option survive. Which button do you push?

ok actually insane paper published yesterday
a research group in Korea built a gene switch you can control wirelessly using electromagnetic fields
they exposed mice to 60 hz EMF (same frequency as your wall outlet) using a pair of large coils that generate a uniform magnetic field around the animal, for cyclic 3-day on / 4-day off pulses
they showed this could:
- activate OSK to do epigenetic reprogramming in progeroid and aged mice, extending lifespan and reversing aging markers across multiple tissues
- conditionally switch on mutant amyloid genes only in aged mouse brains, letting them separate aging effects from amyloid effects to study AD biology in a way previous models couldn't
no drugs, no impacts, just a magnetic field from outside the body

Pre-2022 software and content is the low-background steel of the information era.

Asked the AI to make a fun slide about potential de-skilling from AI use. Need to specify more clearly what I mean by "fun".

Never could have imagined 25 years ago that “Victory for Afroman over the Sheriff’s department” would be such a crucially important symbolic statement for our nation

Some people don’t realize how huge this is. His case was a huge example of cops raiding someone with no evidence or even probable cause. Than said cops trying to act like victims who actually broke the law.
Verdict is in: Afroman FULL victory, with no claims going to any of the Adams County Sheriff plaintiffs, total courtroom W for @ogafroman
Solid news for First Amendment protections of free speech, parody, artistic creation and fans of Lemon Pound Cake.

There’s only one place where code must be flawless, and unreadable.
The International Obfuscated C Code Contest.
Every year the entries are absurdly good…and there’s still room for more!
You’ve got until March 13th to enter.

We @wiz_io responsibly disclosed this to @AWSSecurityInfo, who promptly fixed the issue in under 48 hours! They also implemented new safeguards in CodeBuild to prevent similar attacks.

Remember when Donald Trump’s ex wife died falling down the stars a few days before she was to be deposed and then he buried her at his golf course in an area with no groundskeeping
