“Here we go again: Congress is voting imminently on whether to reauthorize Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), which President Trump supports. Without reauthorization, the program would expire on April 20, placing a key anti-terrorism tool in legal limbo. Congress should vote to keep it in place.”

@FmrRepMTG let's hear from all of the J6ers and their families since they were all entrapped with it.

Trump was always against FISA 702 without warrant requirements because it was abused and used to spy on Trump himself and well as hundreds of thousands of Americans?
So why is he now demanding Congress reauthorize FISA 702 clean??
Without warrant requirements!!

@theallinpod Are we adding Mythos security to the Save Act?

David Sacks: We have no choice but to take the Mythos threat seriously
“Anytime Anthropic is scaring people, you have to ask, is this a tactic, is this part of their chicken little routine, or is it real?
With cyber, I actually would give them credit in this case and say this is more on the real side.
It just makes sense that as the coding models become more and more capable, they're more capable of finding bugs. That means they're more capable of finding vulnerabilities. That means they're more capable of stringing together multiple vulnerabilities and creating an exploit.
I do think that every company, or IT department, or CISO that is managing code bases should take this seriously and use the next few months to detect any dormant bugs or vulnerabilities and rollout patches.
If everybody does their job and reacts the right way, then I do not think it will be the doomsday scenario. But we have no choice but to take this seriously.”

@beffjezos If the Great Pyramids were an ancient quantum hyperscaler, we should look for evidence on the moon of a Stargate.

If xAI is moving its main datacenter from Memphis to the Moon, it only makes sense to also bring along the Bass Pro Shops

@pmarca If the hyperscalers can't afford closed loop geothermal then add active well monitoring for adjacent properties so the homeowners know what's going on.

Apocalypse cults drop bodies. Many such cases.

A city councilman’s home was shot at over a data center. His child was inside. No neighbor zoning disagreement justifies violence. Hyperbolic AI “doomer” rhetoric has consequences, and it’s time to say so. My latest in @realDailyWire

Marc Andreessen: AI is an "80 year overnight success."
"Something about AI causes the people in the field to become both excessively utopian and excessively apocalyptic."
"What's actually happened is—in retrospect, an enormous amount of technical progress built up over time."
"For example, we now know that the neural network is the correct architecture. There was a 60 or 70 year run where that was controversial."
"Everything we're building on today sort of derives from the original idea in 1943. In retrospect, we now know that these guys were right."
"They would get the timing wrong and they thought capabilities would arrive faster, or that they could be turned into businesses sooner, but the scientists who worked on this over the course of decades were fundamentally correct about what they were doing."
"And the payoff from all their work is happening now."
"ChatGPT hits, and then o1 hits, and then OpenClaw hits, and these are radical, overnight transformative successes—but they're drawing on an 80 year wellspring backlog of ideas and thinking. It's not just all brand new, it's that it's an unlock of all of these decades of very serious, hardcore research."
"There were AI researchers who spent their entire lives—got their PhD, researched for 40 years, retired in a lot of cases, passed away, and they never actually saw it work."

@RepLuna add a requirement to upgrade to DCID 6/9 and JAFAN 6/9 for all tabulation centers. Let each state's guard run them.

The only way I’m voting for FISA is if SAVE America is attached. I tried to blow it up last time, think I won’t do it again?

Assisted suicide is organ harvesting.
They aren't even hiding it anymore.
This is disgusting.
Joey Mannarino@JoeyMannarino
Some information is coming out that the hospital is telling Noelia’s mother they can’t delay the euthanasia because her organs are already assigned to other patients. If this is true, this is the most insane and wild thing I ever read.

OpenAI shutting down Sora is the most predictable outcome of misunderstanding consumer behavior.
Everyone grossly overestimates how creative people want to be.
99% of humans simply want to scroll and zone out instead of spending energy conceptualizing, editing, and creating videos.
No matter how much the barrier to creation is lowered by a single prompt. It still takes effort and a fair amount of creative thinking.
Even Instagram has 2 billion users. But hardly ~10 million (or 0.5%) would be serious creators.
So any AI consumer app betting on "with [new_app], everyone becomes a creator!" is being delusional and will go down the same way.
After all the word "consumer" exists for a reason. They consume. They don't produce (or even want to lol)

@JackHadfield14 Did they account for doxycycline in the test results?
English
The direct ME/CFS studies do not support “half of ME/CFS has Lyme.”
Small case-control studies found 0/26, 0/18, and 1/47 positive on standard Lyme testing, with 1/47 controls positive too.
That points to a low rate, around 1% or less, not 50%.
English
If you have ME/CFS or LC & have done Lyme testing, the result is often not as simple as it reads. Some tests are quite specific. Some tests sold right now can generate lots of false positives. And some miss real infections. I’ll breakdown the testing landscape in this thread 🧵

@elonmusk @TeslaBoomerMama Here's an idea. Each state's lottery commission generates scratch-off tickets to be given out complimentary at the voting booth, requiring the use of state ID.
