  Remember finding out Pokémon GO was a CIA project? ” Over 7 million Ray-Ban Meta glasses were sold in 2025. That’s 7 million cameras recording your life. And conveniently, that footage is exactly what AI needs to learn how to walk, cook, and steal your job. The data collected by Ray-Ban Meta glasses is unprecedented. To understand Meta’s endgame, we analyzed the company’s organizational shifts, interviewed leading robotics experts, and conducted a 72-hour field test wearing the glasses to map...

  "James Bender, a 20-year fiber optics industry worker, confronted the Paulding County Board of Commissioners over data cable installations he's been seeing across the county. He claims the companies doing the installations work with massive amounts of data, like for a data center, and the infrastructure itself is a huge $2 million investment." We need more people, on both sides of the aisle, with expertise coming out against this infrastructure and covert contract work the citizen...

  Every day I'm more flabbergasted by the last. I'm sure Google has good intentions with this lol. These comments are great though: "Perfect, now I can interact with adjacent to my family without ever actually talking to them." "Yes, give the billionaires extremely specific information about your children. I'm sure it's fine."

  The Arkansas-based data broker Acxiom claims it has data on billions of people around the world, including where they live and how they might spend their money. It says it can even deduce their political leanings, weight, and interest in medical procedures. But what exactly does the company know? For Tracey Reed, a nonprofit worker in Oregon, it knew enough to compile a 58-page dossier charting the purported history of her income, employment, and education, not to mention her spending, includi...

  The articles on how over 90% of enterprise doesn't reach their return-on-investment goals with new AI models because their devs have to fix bugs and loops causing more token spend due to those developers "not constructing the correct prompts" is hilarious. Full on blame shift away from the AI providers and the underlying point. "Its a skill issue"..."Its a tooling issue"... While there can be issues with training when it comes to this... It has nothing to do...

  If no one has experienced the beauty of Juzo Itami films, I highly recommend these two favorites of mine. They are my comfort films…seen them over 100 times at least. Unfortunately, Juzo was murdered, the Yakuza likely killed him, as he was making films about their tax fraud practices. Tampopo Supermarket Woman #juzoitami #japan #japanese #ramen

  Sometimes I’ll go through my old saved git repos… People really want to keep “thefuck” alive even though it’s been dead for 2 years. Around 4000 forks..damn. https://github.com/nvbn/thefuck/issues Luckily people make their own rewrites. Although many of which have readmes filled with emojis, which turn me off….its like seeing Sysco outside of the restaurant your about to enter. #github #git #cli #linux #ai

  If anyone wants an no frills way to redirect instagram to imginn (privacy alternative anonymous instagram viewer), this is much easier than setting up reverse proxies and in browser redirects, especially if you keep your bookmarks synced. Save this code as the url of a new bookmark (bookmarklet) and name it something like "Insta Redirect": ``` javascript:(function(){var%20url=window.location.href;if(url.indexOf('instagram.com')!==-1){var%20newUrl=url.replace('instagram.c...

  Can't believe I just figured out how to do code blocks on mastodon. https://glitch-soc.github.io/docs/features/rich-text/ If your server has a glitch-soc "flavour" added. Enable in Settings -> Flavours -> Gitch-Soc. Then enable markdown support in Preferences -> Posting Defaults -> Markdown -> Save Changes. #mastodon

  I've never gotten into this guy's content but I do love seeing the discussion of nepo baby musicians (often self proclaimed "musicians" with autotune) magically hitting top 100 charts. It's increasingly the case that you have to come from a wealthy family to make it in the music industry. I'd say it seems like over half of music festival performers are nepo babies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h52O0JiWEfc #music

  Always a nice way to get out of a funk if you’re a film head - take a walk and listen to the newest hdtgm episode. Crocodile Dundee was certainly a shit show lol https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/crocodile-dundee-in-los-angeles-w-eddie-pepitone-matthew/id409287913?i=1000778221323
