@sharbel “You don’t understand what just happened…” , well no because this is the first line of your post… shall I read on to find out if I understand?

You don’t understand what just happened… Telegram just introduced Lobster Father 🤯 A way for anyone to create AI agents right from the messaging platform. The world of AI agents is literally at anyone’s fingertips now…

@AlphaBalzer that is a clever test image! Consistent text skewed with the perspective, etc. It took me a moment to realise what was cool about the image... then... ooh.. nice!! :-)

🎨🚀 Copilot builders: OpenAI’s GPT‑image‑2 is rolling out in Microsoft Foundry — sharper instruction following, multilingual text + up to 4K image outputs. 👇 techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/azure-ai-… #MicrosoftCopilot #AzureAI #GenAI

@WalshFreedom I don’t understand why they wear balaclavas? Are regular citizens allowed to walk around in balaclavas in the streets?

This is a masterclass in how to deal with an illegal stop by an ICE agent. PAXIS.app says to legally stop your vehicle, officers must have at least one of the following: 1. Reasonable suspicion 2. Probable cause 3. A valid warrant If stopped: 1. Ask one clear question “Am I being detained, or am I free to go?” * If free → leave calmly * If detained → continue 2. Provide required driving documents License, registration, insurance (if you’re driving) 3. Remain silent beyond that You have the right to remain silent. You do not have to answer questions about immigration status. Say: “I am exercising my right to remain silent.” 4. Do not consent to searches Say: “I do not consent to any searches.” 5. Do not argue or resist Stay calm. Do not escalate. Anything unlawful can be challenged later. FIGHT ICE, FIGHT TRUMP: gofundme.com/f/PAXIS

@NASA Does the Orion spacecraft have LiDAR scanners or some other tech for capturing lots of data about the surface of the moon? Possibly some capability that wasn’t around back in the 70s?

LIVE: Watch with us as the Artemis II astronauts make their closest approach to the Moon, traveling farther from Earth than ever before. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

While I did really appreciate the words before the Artemis II crew orbits into LoS on the far side of the moon, imagine the fun they could have had with the LoS moment by intentionally truncating some speech. “Oh it’s beautiful…it’s clear that the meaning of life is…”

@eevblog I reckon you’ll turn it around to take a look and the screen will show…

Someone has left this in their car spot (against the rules) for a week now. How long before it's fair game?

@MillinBear What is that? Van?

THIS!

@JessePeltan @wholemars Anyone else’s mind go to a Simpsons episode and the line “this is the room with electricity, but it has too much electricity, so you might want to wear a hat” ? (or words to the effect :-) )

If I won the lottery, I wouldn’t tell anyone …but there would be signs.

@tiktokinspector if you haven’t seen this yet…enjoy! You know how some of your clients need to fork out many $$$ to fix stuff when a builder saves a few $ with a dodgy ‘she’ll be right’ alternative. This one is next level. Save ~$250K = ~$4M to fix! youtu.be/Q56PMJbCFXQ?si…

@eviljunglelord @elonmusk Countries all over the world have actually 'felt it' via things like distrupted supply chains for things like grain, etc back in the beginning. I don't think he was meaning 'you will feel it' as a threat of war, etc. He was trying to clarify before he was totally cut off by Trump

@elonmusk “You have a nice ocean, you doing feel it now but you will feel it in the future. God bless.” That could be construed as a threat. Trump did not like that.

Watch this carefully. Very important.

@maththrills Does it have a name? We call ours Sweeping Beauty, and sister in law’s one is called Lighting McClean.

I don’t think it’s too early to call it: this will be the largest IT outage in history

@troyhunt The 7-11 on my way home from work was closed… imagine all the kids that couldn’t get a slurpee in the way home from school. somebody think of the children!!!!

I appreciate a lot of these updates are aviation related, but that does tend to be where outages really hit hard

Not just everywhere, but every*one* (nearly). This is massive

@troyhunt At about 3pm(AEST) my sister-in-law sent a message w/ a photo of her work laptop with BSOD, said that all the computers in their office did it pretty simultaneously. Imagine the 100s or 1000s of smartwatch’s chiming as IT managers across the land had simultaneous heart attacks

Something super weird happening right now: just been called by several totally different media outlets in the last few minutes, all with Windows machines suddenly BSoD’ing (Blue Screen of Death). Anyone else seen this? Seems to be entering recovery mode:

Hi @DrJillWillis, not sure if you are still here on X/Twitter. You just popped to mind when I was listening to this and I thought it could be interesting for your leadership students. ‘Inside the life of a four-star general’. Lots of leadership insight. youtu.be/tQI1Wn9YSCY?si…

@geordiemuppet @AdamFowler_IT How about flash mob of all ages (like especially have our parents/grandparents >70years involved) wearing balaclavas (or maybe Normie Rowe masks) and heading to various sections of the store to get items to legitimately purchase. Tech should enhance UX not make us feel gross.

@AdamFowler_IT Unfortunately often the only way to make retailers and businesses change is to vote with your Dollars.

The Coles camera detected me as stealing, where I was putting something I'd bought from another shop into the Coles bag I'd paid for. Worker checked the video and looked in the bag and said 'Yep no worries', but it's not a nice feeling. news.com.au/national/shopp…

@MartinStoermer I bet if I look toward the end of last year, I won’t find my usual post in your direction about ‘stollen goods’ at Aldi 😀 So where did your chemistry folk go?

@MartinStoermer So nice to hear from you @MartinStoermer! Great timing that we logged in at the same time! That gave me a smile. Ive wondered if negativity bias causing me to click on weird stuff has set my feed into a different dimension. I used to come here for inspiration, now its all so grim

It seems like except for a few replies here and there that I haven’t posted X/twitter for about a year! I am wondering if this is part of a cause or part of an effect of a bit of social isolation feeling, missing former ‘tribes’ (for want of a better word). Algorithms to blame?

@girlgerms I dialled back notifications and various apps on my phone at various times, then I feel like when the NYC2600 folks left for mastadon and I didn’t get into that much I’ve left myself outta the loop. Education and EdTech folks used to abound here. I dunno if they’re here still.
