  1. Oh, look! 🤓 Another #AI #kerfuffle where #Anthropic whines about Alibaba's sneaky little 25k-account raid on Claude. Because nothing screams #innovation like playing whack-a-mole with #corporate espionage! 🕵️‍♂️🔍

  2. I was recently in on the very beginning of a Thing That Blew Up On Social Media, and boy did it open my eyes.

    I knew these kinds of online kerfuffles tended to have a life of their own, entirely separate from the events and personalities that started them off, but I'd never seen one go quite like this. Probably old news to people, but I'd just never been in one at such an early stage.

    It grew to multiple camps of people, aggressively pushing various competing agendas, all of them trying to claim that the tiny snowball that got the whole avalanche thing going was Very Obviously Hard Evidence of Their Position, and pushing orthogonal side-issues and dirt into the fight.

    Wow.

  3. Huge #kerfuffle in #Kirkland! One candidate hassled an 84-year old woman who was fixing, not defacing or removing a sign, and a second candidate filed a police report on her.

    #AmyWalen (running for WA state senate) has rightly called for removing all endorsements for the two candidates involved. Since most residents don't like these two candidates, this is one of those "manna from heaven" moments.

  6. The #kerfuffle this week about #GM's practice of collecting #drivers' behavioural #data and then providing it to #data #brokers (causing some to have their insurance costs raised) brings up one of my pet #peeves.

    #Journalists, can you please stop writing "<company> shares data with <data broker>"? They're not "#sharing" anything - they're #selling it.

    "GM is selling drivers' behavioural data to LexisNexus" is a much more accurate statement. Why are you doing companies' PR for them?

  7. So when all your mates quit the band and form another band without you, how is that different from them kicking you out of the band? #openai #kerfuffle theverge.com/2023/11/20/239689

  8. At 6 bells, Roughneck slammed the door open.
    Curtains groaned. "This had better be good."
    "There is a #kerfuffle. With the MPs."
    Since he had fallen into bed fully clothed, he got up & they headed out.
    Two of his men were being held at the MP post. One was wearing just a shirt & the other trousers.
    "Sharing a uniform?" Curtains asked.
    They looked up at him, guilelessly.
    "They tried to coax the general's daughter," the humorless sergeant said.
    Curtain's head throbbed from his hangover.

  9. @silverseams if we ever moved I am sure the kid would want to take her cat “to see the new place”, the cat would run off and find the one place in the rafters they could use to get behind the walls and it would turn into a whole #kerfuffle

  10. For non-UK folk wondering what on earth British people are talking about this weekend, here's a helpful and informative thread setting out some of the cultural context, from 🐦 user phyphor: twitter.com/phyphor/status/163
