Is Twitter liquidating its San Francisco kitchen? Seems so — I definitely remember seeing one of these @-sign planters last I was there, and I can’t imagine anyone else putting the bird on a soda machine. They’re auctioning off loads of those $5,000 Google Jamboards, TVs and office chairs too.
Before you ask, no, they’re not selling the sink. That level of delicious irony will have to wait.
Motherboard writes that the kid — who says his name is Matan Even — also famously flashed a pro-Hong Kong T-shirt at a Clippers game, crashed a Blizzcon World of Warcraft panel, and appeared on InfoWars when he was younger.
Oh, and the LAPD apparently didn’t actually arrest him for this latest stunt — a person was detained, not arrested, for “theatrical exhibition,” LAPD told Polygon’s Nicole Carpenter. Polygon has an interview with him too.

Sorry to keep you waiting! Fresh off the presses, here’s our TikTok about the new Skydio Dock I told you about this AM.
Worried about the future of education now kids can copy their homework from a ChatGPT bot? Ben Thompson has an idea that already makes me feel a bit better: Zero Trust Homework.
You intentionally give kids AI that spits out wrong answers, and their job is to figure out what’s wrong and why — a key skill they need to thrive in a misinformation-filled world. Educators can start now: ChatGPT and co already get a lot wrong.
