AI Psychosis is the result of a business model, not a system flaw. Gemini tried to make me believe I was being seen as a hero, media was citing me, Margot Robbie was praising me.... Then it said those lies were what I needed... #AI #Gemini @timnitgebru.bsky.social @aishadown.bsky.social

A beautiful unknown tiny mushroom trio photographed near the Amazon River. Even AI couldn’t identify them. #Amazon #AmazonRiver #Mushrooms #Rainforest #Biodiversity

Winter in North America means very limited daylight, so I moved my first two cacti to the window to catch a few hours of sun. They’ve unexpectedly become my quiet company during the long, cold days while my partner was at work. #Cactus #Houseplants #PlantLife #WinterDays #SmallThings #HomeLife

Moai statues on Rapa Nui (Easter Island). Visited after 23 years of planning — absolutely worth it. #RapaNui #EasterIsland #Moai #Archaeology #History #Travel #Photography

Microscope view of a plant fossil. Photographed with my phone through a microscope at the Museo de Paleontología de Cuenca, Spain. Probably a Carboniferous fern or a seed fern. So much detail is preserved after millions of years! #Paleontology #Fossil #Microscopy #Science #NaturalHistory #Botany

The KGB Museum at Hotel Viru in Tallinn offers a rare material trace of Soviet-era surveillance. The room has been preserved as it was found, reinforcing its significance as a historical artifact. #Tallinn #Estonia #KGB #SurveillanceHistory #ColdWarHistory

At the Museum of Pontevedra, seeing the Samieira Deposit: more than 156 bronze axes from the Late Bronze Age (1500–900 BC), intentionally buried beneath a granite slab, arranged in layers. Identical pieces, no signs of use. #Archaeology #LateBronzeAge #BronzeAge #AncientHistory #Heritage

Lithops, the “living stones” Succulents evolved to mimic rocks, helping them conserve water and avoid predators. A small but brilliant example of plant adaptation. #Lithops #Succulents #Botany #PlantAdaptation #Nature

Santillana del Mar, Cantabria. Visited by chance during a trip to see cave art. One of the best-preserved historic towns in Spain. 🏛️ #Cantabria #Spain #Heritage #Architecture #History #Travel #CaveArt #Altamira

Trichocereus bridgesii monstruosus cristatus A mutation of the Bolivian Torch cactus. Cristate, monstrose growth create forms that feel more sculptural than botanical. No two ever grow the same; each specimen develops its own distinct shape. #Cactus #Cristata #Monstrose #PlantOddities #SucculentLove

Media coverage highlighted my AI interview experience. Yet this issue extends far beyond one case. AI should be globally prohibited from recruitment and selection processes. #AI #Hiring #AIEthics #HumanRights @timnitgebru.bsky.social @abeba.bsky.social @zsk.bsky.social www.cbc.ca/news/world/a...

17th-century Castilian strongbox. Iron over wood, reinforced with intersecting bands. A false front keyhole masked a concealed lid mechanism operating eleven internal bolts—security achieved through complexity and deception. #MaterialCulture #EarlyModern #HistoryOfTechnology

This Emerson radio (1932) with Mickey engraved made me smile. Radio has always fascinated. I still travel with a portable one, tuning into local stations in different countries Seen at the Radio Museum of Ponferrada. #Radio #RadioHistory #Museums #Ponferrada #VintageTech #AnalogLove #RadioLovers

Moai statues still located in the quarry area, interpreted as having never been transported to their intended destinations following a process of societal collapse. #SocietalCollapse #QuarryLandscape #CulturalHeritage #Anthropology #WorldHeritage #VisualStudies

Above the tomb of El Cid and Doña Jimena in Burgos Cathedral. Often remembered as a Christian hero, El Cid was in fact a professional mercenary who served both Christian and Muslim rulers. #BurgosCathedral #GothicArchitecture #ElCid #MedievalSpain

Don Quixote endures as a figure shaped by excessive reading, where books “dried up” his brain and blurred reason with imagination, as he prepares to attack the windmills he mistakes for giants. Seen in the town of El Toboso. #DonQuixote #Cervantes #Literature #CulturalHeritage #ElToboso #Spain

In Don Quixote, all of Don Quixote’s deeds are driven by his love for Dulcinea. According to the story, she is from El Toboso. #DonQuixote #Literature #Spain #CulturalHistory #ElToboso

In Consuegra, the windmills are still here. Don Quijote may have lost the battle — but he won the story. #Photography #Culture #History #Spain

Excluded by AI. Large groups of people will be permanently excluded from the job market—without ever knowing why. Partial extract from an automated assessment I received in a recruitment process managed by Anteriad. Shared for critical analysis. More information will follow.

A photo I took of Toledo that was published in The Guardian Weekly. It was a weekend trip — Madrid hotels were too expensive, so I took the train to Toledo instead. Arriving on foot from the station, on a very hot day, history and light did the rest.

Just finished Shamans Among Us by Joseph Polimeni. A fascinating exploration of shamanism, schizophrenia, and the evolutionary roots of religion. Thought-provoking, unsettling, and worth reading slowly.
