@georgetakei Its the Mara Lago Face look. It twists the lips like that.

@georgetakei I see this as less of an “insider trading” issue and more of a company taking advantage of compulsive gambling addicts. Why would ever be ok to bet on someone’s personal schedule?

@nyrath
Amos is a very interesting character. He's taming his brutality by being obediant to the crew.

@random

My wife adores Amos Burton aka "Murder-Snuggles"

But both she and I would pay cash money for a spin-off series: "The Avasarala and Bobbie show"

Here are some of my favourite fictional characters. They're all from #Expanse. All of them are Belters.

#FavCharacterA
Ashford of the series.
He is the leader of one of the factions of #OPA. Long time #pirate, very experienced. (This character is very different in the book.)

#FavCharacterC
Camina Drummer from the series. Originally, Chief of Security on Tycho Station. In series this character is merged with the Michio Pa character in the books, the captain of a commune ship. Michio Pa is my favourite character in the books.

#FavCharacterN
Naomi Nagata from the books. She is one of the main characters and engineer of the spaceship Rocinante. Clever and rational. She has a good sense of ethics and not naive like the character in the series.

I'm looking forward to his $666 dollar bill.

TYPICAL MAGA MOUTH BREATHER... 🫨

@yetiinabox @FaithfullJohn @neil I didn't realise you were a fellow Ylvis fan. 🤣

@chu You're not the bad parent, they are. They've just been given the right soundbites to justify to themselves the easiest choices they could make in the face of everyday pressures and commercially incentivised persuasion.

Meta literally claims that "The tool itself worked properly and functioned as intended". Incredible.

If your tool allows for people to hack your users by simply asking politely for it, reasonable people might argue that this tool is not, in fact, "working as intended".
@jwcph @zackwhittaker

@zackwhittaker Correction: It's not a bug & the AI wasn't "tricked". It worked exactly like it was supposed to - Meta just didn't care to consider that anyone could ask it to do so.

It's a tech bug in the same sense that a person plowing a pickup truck through a kindergarten is the car's fault.

- which also means the "bug" is "fixed" until somebody stumbles upon the next vulnerability, because the underlying issue, as the book said, is carelessness.

New, by me: Meta has filed a data breach notice confirming that *thousands* of people had their Instagram accounts hacked as part of a months-long campaign abusing its Meta AI chatbot.

Meta's breach notice shows the hacks were far more widespread than first thought.

@neil All knot lovers (or haters) *reeeally neeeeeed* to watch The Truckers Hitch by Ylvis 🪢 🕺 💃 🤩 😃

@FaithfullJohn @neil

Ummmm..... Okay, this is my first exposure to Ylvis, but...why isn't "Mr Toot" better known here? Or have I just missed the incredibly obvious everyone-knows-it thing again?
