"There Is (Still) No Ethical Use of AI" by my brilliant colleague @melikhovo

There Is (Still) No Ethical Use of AI
In March 2024, I wrote a post declaring “There Is No Ethical Use of AI”. My point was not that you should not use AI.matthewcheney.net
The article makes it seem like it was a badly worded statement! Instances can do registration by approval, so they can use whatever mechanism they want to do age verification if they choose to; and, admin notes let them store the info on profiles if they want to. So, it's still up to each instance to choose whether to comply, but their framing as reported was unfortunate. I asked Andy Piper if they could release the statement (or some public sttaement), he said they're working on it.

Verizon’s ‘software issue’ has disconnected many wireless customers across the US
Verizon confirmed a software issue causing an outage for US customers on August 30th, 2025.Richard Lawler (The Verge)
It also means that I can text other iOS users over the Verizon 5g home wifi box, but straight up sms to Android users aren’t going through.
Gotta love these barren and weedy walled gardens 🤪
A imagem mostra um gatinho de pelagem cinza e marrom deitado de costas, com os olhos fechados e uma expressão de relaxamento. Ele está deitado em um lençol azul claro com desenhos infantis, incluindo símbolos e letras. O gatinho parece estar em um estado de profunda tranquilidade, com as patas estendidas para cima. Sobre a imagem, há um texto em português que diz: "estou cansada de dar um jeito queria que as coisas já chegasssem com um jeito dado." A imagem transmite uma sensação de paz e desejos de que as coisas sejam mais fáceis e prontas.

Chicago will sich gegen Bundeskontrolle wehren
In Chicago leben traditionell viele Zuwanderer, die Stadt wird von einem demokratischen Bürgermeister regiert. Damit könnte Chicago bald das nächste Ziel von US-Präsident Trump werden. Doch dort bereitet man sich auf einen Eingriff der US-Regierung vor.

Carcani castiga un buon Ghiviborgo
La rete del centravanti (ex di giornata) quasi al 90esimo regala al Tau la qualificazione la secondo turno di Coppa Italia in programma mercoledì 8 ottobre. Partita piacevole al "Bellandi" soprattutto nel primo tempo. Ghivi in vantaggio al 18' con Mariotti e pareggio ospite di Bagnoli al 37'.
"RBC calculates affordability by measuring the % of median household income required to carry the costs of homeownership. Nationally, this figure has dropped slightly to 55.1%.
… In Vancouver, ownership consumes an astonishing 92.7% of income.
In Toronto, it takes 68.3%.
Even Ottawa & Montreal sit far above historical norms. … symptomatic of a housing system where costs have decoupled from household earnings."

in reply to 🌎 Experiencia interdimensional • • •La imagen muestra un tweet del Secretario Marco Rubio ([@]SecRubio) en su cuenta de Twitter. El tweet está en inglés y español, y se refiere a una broma que Rubio hizo con el Presidente ([@]POTUS) sobre tener cuatro trabajos. El Presidente le dijo que le diera uno a su amigo [@]RussVought47, a lo que Rubio accedió. Desde enero, Rubio afirma que han ahorrado a los contribuyentes decenas de miles de millones de dólares al transferir un pequeño conjunto de programas esenciales al Departamento de Estado, y que USAID está oficialmente en fase de cierre. Rubio felicita a Russ Vought por supervisar el cierre de la agencia. El tweet incluye una traducción al español proporcionada por Google Translate.
