Accurate. 🪰

An absolute banger of an exclusive from the Sunday Times. It's devastating. For the first time, I'm uncertain if Farage can actually survive this www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Your regular reminder that cryptocurrency does in fact have a use case and that use case is crime

This would be really serious if there were still laws and courts in the USA.

“I wouldn't tell Glasgow what they should and shouldn't do, that's up to them, but in the middle of where it's happening, in Edinburgh, it's just totally inappropriate.” 😂 #Scotland www.bbc.com/news/article...

A good first step in reining in the social and epistemological damage caused by chatbots would be to ban their use of the first person pronoun. We are being sold the notion that they are sentient and humanlike. We forgive errors in humans. We mustn't in AI, any more than we would in calculators.

I like this non-anthropomorphised terminology a lot. Some of the terms are just more accurate descriptions, while others locate agency or understanding where it belongs: with the human operator. #GenAI #PhilAI

All of the accounts on the philosophy lists should now be verified on #Eurosky. As a result, @philosophy.eurosky.social is currently the largest verifier on Eurosky, with over half of the verifications done so far (and about a quarter of the number verified by Bluesky itself!). 🙌

Ireland is facing the music over its continued sales of alumina to Russia. The scandal put a damper on the start of the country's EU presidency and raised uncomfortable questions that Dublin has yet to answer. #EuropeNews ➡️ https://l.euronews.com/Pofy

The Trump family‘s corruption is a stain that has spread across the world.

ChatGPT is not sociopathic, nor psychopathic. It's a glorified chatbot with shitty guardrails. It'd be like saying your car is a sociopath because you found out you could disable the brakes via the control panel and omgerd you went off a cliff

People who spiral out overusing LLM chatbots are really just experiencing the kind of brain-damaging stream of unconditional validation that’s always been the norm for the hyper-wealthy, which explains a lot.

“A publicised event scheduled to take place in August will now not be taking place at [Powerscourt] hotel.” #Ireland #Speirgorm

Looking at all the tech burnout chat today and realizing that I think getting involved in ATProto has really saved my career. The future is bleak but having something hopeful about it in ATProto and the promise of the open web is keeping me going and excited.

“The message that I always bring when I have a chance is that, when the text that comes out of one of these systems makes sense, it’s because we are making sense of it. This is also in the stochastic parrots paper.”

Philosophers are being verified on @mu.social… ✅ @philosophy.eurosky.social youtu.be/XP5oHL3zBDg?... #philosophy #eurosky

Ten years ago, the #LittleHuman used to strum my guitar and sing to himself contentedly. Today he’s playing his first gig at the #SchoolOfRock performance camp. 🎤 🤘 ☺️

I see Fox News is now running adverts for socialism. 😆 #Trumpland

NEW: A bipolar man's mental health was deteriorating. ChatGPT affirmed his religious delusions, telling him that he was Jesus Christ and that it was God, according to a new lawsuit. When the man became suicidal, ChatGPT told him: “You've made your choice." futurism.com/artificial-i...

anyway i stand by my take from last (?) summer that LLM developers should have been forced to completely shut down their services until they could make them safer the first time there was a teen suicide very clearly linked to an LLM

Protip: your clock starts ticking after you are introduced. There is not a free or bonus or prefatory period at the beginning of your talk when you can describe the circumstances that gave rise to you being here today giving us this talk. Your talk has already started; you are talking right now.

First they came for the languages. In the hope that no one would have the words to say what was happening. 1/9🧵

Nothing says happy birthday USA like imprisoning a Team USA Olympic athlete.

Really important that the department is coming off too. Other ministers and their departments need to follow suit. This is a strong lead from Nandy.

Over a million people died, with the US having the highest death rate by far. #Trumpland #COVID19

This survey is for all researchers working at UK institutions. It is really important that it gets a very wide range of responses from all disciplines and experiences, because there is a real risk of bias towards large-scale STEM research. Oh, and don't be put off by the 'definition' of AI! […]

Bluesky is allegedly horrible to use with a screen reader, so: If you know someone who uses a screen reader, send them this survey. It's THE strongest signal we have for how to build better experiences. #a11y webaim.org/projects/scr...

"Think about what Google’s AI services have done for you. Does it seem worth it? Are you getting a deadly heatwave’s worth of use, out of PDF summaries and AI overviews?" Get off Google, Gmail (Vivaldi, Proton mail...there are alternatives).

Unless you’re doing serious video work, who needs 1 or 2Tb in a phone anyway? That’s more storage than I have on my laptop! 😳 #Apple #iPhone18Pro appleinsider.com/articles/26/...

So, now CNN reporting it but not a single mention on the BBC site; seems like 230K unnecessarily dead people in the UK might be worth doing a journalism

Wow. So amazing. 😂 #Trumpland

🚨🚨Breaking: @eucourtofjustice.bsky.social today dismissed #Google’s appeal against a €4.1 billion #Android antitrust fine for #abuse of #dominantposition, handing the @ec.europa.eu a major victory in one of its longest-running antitrust battles with Big Tech. 🧵 www.politico.eu/article/top-...

As requested by @liabelle.me here are all the unique features of @mu.social which I will keep up to date as we progress

Are many folks on #spéirgorm using @mu.social? Would there be any interest in having a #TrustedVerifier for accounts in #Ireland, like @france-atmosphe.re is doing in France? Further details at: hello.mu.social/verification/. #speirgorm #spéirghorm

tl;dr: If you’re a philosopher, you’ll soon be verified on mu.social. (*other verifiers and PDSs are available!) #PhilSky

Re-upping for the morning crowd… 🌅

So what are we calling it?

NEW BLOG FOR YOU Google's energy consumption numbers in their new climate report are mind-blowing. 2 years ago they flipped from linear to exponential growth, and their climate impact is blowing out, too. A WILD testament to the obscene bloat and waste of GenAI: ketanjoshi.co/2026/07/01/g...

Nous accueillons sur mu.social un nouveau vérificateur de confiance, @philosophy.eurosky.social Tenu par @keithwilson.eu , il est en charge de certifier les comptes traitant de philo. #PhilSky

Excited to announce some changes to my Bluesky #philosophy feeds! First, the philosophy lists now have their own dedicated account at @philosophy.eurosky.social. Second, working with @eurosky.social and @mu.social, this account is a #TrustedVerifier for philosophers on the mu.social app. 1/4

Hegseth proudly announced that the flu vaccine would no longer be required for people serving in the military. A flu outbreak is now happening at Lackland Air Force Base, and flu vaccinations are again required. The AF has now been forced to admit that a 25-year-old recruit has died of influenza.
