SHAMEFUL! New House rules would enable Scott Perry, who is being investigated by the FBI, to investigate the investigators investigating him.

The #GOP is not “draining the swamp.” It is filling the swamp to an extent never seen before.

A strange thing that is currently happening: the House will shortly vote on their rules of operation for this Congress, but there is apparently a 3 page addendum that is secret? I guess if one were intending to vote no, it doesn’t matter that there’s hidden content and similar if one were going to vote yes no matter what. But this sure feels wrong. Unclear when or if the addendum will be made officially available. (One member claims to have a copy, but has not shared it)

Less "best practices" and more "possible practices"

Ah yes

That feeling when famous white men who you had to block for wanting to have a conversation justifying surveillance tech in a thread with actual evidence of racism and human rights violations, decide to misspell your name and call your thoughts on throttling children's use of a technology that clearly meant for those over 18 an "all out rejection" of it.

I think many of us in tech underestimate the damaging potential of #ChatGPT. This case is fairly innocuous, but it’s a good example of how ChatGPT’s replies don’t represent real knowledge. It’s just a fancy Bullshit Generator™.

The problem is, to the general public (especially kids) it looks like ChatGPT knows what it’s talking about. It sounds trustworthy. People will trust it, and the potential consequences are far worse than a wasted library trip.
