So I give it a month until we see some shit like this get unironically posted by this administration.
🤖 Made with AI
ALT Infamous George W Bush “Mission Accomplished” image, but AI has superimposed Donald Trump smiling like a dickhead and giving a thumbs up.

It is absurd to have a problem with AI learning from code you have open sourced. If github trained models on the contents of your private repos, that would be a violation.

I know there is some overlap between open source and anti-AI activists, but I have a hard time reconciling it. My million+ open source LOC were always intended as a gift to the world. Yes, I would make arguments about how it would strengthen our communities, and the GPL would prevent outright exploitation by our competitors, but those were to allay fears of my partners to allow me to make the gift.
AI training on the code magnifies the value of the gift. I am enthusiastic about it!
Some people do look at open source as a tool for social change, career advancement, or reputation building, but those are all downstream of the gift.

Day 1193 of my 3 day war. Several billion dollars worth of Russian aircraft were destroyed by several thousand dollars of Ukrainian drones.
I remain a master strategist.

Such a major blow to Russia’s strategic bomber fleet could have been avoided if Moscow had chosen to engage in peace talks, rather than escalating the war and undermining diplomatic efforts initiated by Kyiv, Washington, and Brussels.

Every Republican member of Senate & House caused stock market crash & now predicted recession because they are refusing everyday to use Congress’s constitutionally granted authority to legislatively block the illegal Trump tariffs.

Thanks to @NASAWebb, we have more information about asteroid 2024 YR4. It's about the size of a 10-story building.
Based on data from Webb and ground-based telescopes, the asteroid also has a nearly 4% chance of impacting the Moon in 2032.

Let me be clear:
What happened tonight is that @benwikler and @WisDems WIPED OUT the richest man in the world @elonmusk after he spent ungodly sums of money to buy votes.
Tonight definitively shows that smart strategy + people power can, must, and WILL defeat those who stand opposed to Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and the American Constitution.

Congratulations Wisconsin on electing Susan Crawford.
As a result of your strong grassroots organizing, you have defeated the wealthiest person on earth.
You have set an example for the rest of the country.
We can do it.

Hey, uh, @Google… I am not sure it’s quite accurate to say that American Eagle Flight 5342 has “landed”.
So this HW3 FSD build known as v12.6 or v13.2.3 feels like it needs a little tweaking before wide release. Weird issues with very early turn signaling for right turns, and waits a long time after pedestrians cross a cross-walk before continuing.
So let’s say you’re in possession of a single @Energizer Lithium battery cell that you suspect is experiencing some amount of thermal runaway. What the hell are you supposed to do with it? Just put it in a ceramic bowl outside and let it chill for awhile?
