Kids should be learning that AI output isn’t trustworthy, where it really comes from, and how it’s disrupting our ability to tell what’s real. They shouldn’t be learning that AI will make them more efficient or do their work for them because it can’t. That would be propaganda, not education

Instead of having 2 full days to do holiday recovery/prep for the week, I had barely a day and so I have done still everything, but now I am twice as exhausted.

I’m an adult. With a credit card. So I can stay at a hotel for a few hours instead of trying to sleep in the back seat of the car at the cell phone lot. 🙃

I’m very very very done with Pearson Airport.

Extremist is the death and destruction that Benjamin Netanyahu government brings on a daily basis. Extremist is them introducing the death penalty for Palestinians. Extremist is this apartheid, genocidal Israeli Government that our Government shamefully supports.

Since I’ve had an unexpected trip via the Halifax Airport, at least I get to enjoy a visit to the new @peacebychocolate.bsky.social shop!

Unexpected extra 24 hours in St John’s. Thanks Air Canada. 😕

It is also, as some in my replies have noted, a gateway drug into full health woo woo stuff, which is in turn often a pipeline into the far-right, as I wrote for the Guardian a few years back. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

If you haven't already, it's time to boycott this company. They don't seem to care if we die or get cancer. Let's not care if they make any money.

“Use AI to brainstorm but not to write.” “Use AI to help you outline but not to write.” These are commonly proposed as “ethical” ways for undergrad students to use AI, but I’m sorry, brainstorming & outlining are just as integral to writing as the actual construction of sentences.

This is yet another attempt by this government to kill people they deem either not useful or outright harmful to their ‘version’ of society.

Puff is having fun.

Backers of the massive data center campus say at full buildout it will consume 9GW of electricity, more than double the entire state of Utah’s current energy use. They say they intend to burn fossil fuels on site to make all that electricity. Box Elder County will vote on the proposal Monday.

“The UK government vastly underestimated the climate impact of artificial intelligence, it has emerged, after officials raised their estimate of carbon emissions from AI by a factor of more than 100” 🤯 www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

I saw this yesterday. I love when words have multiple meanings.

Finally out of that winter weather. Looking forward to some hiking and some photos of things other than fog and sleet.

Btw, AI detection tools are as crap as AI. Which is to say: don’t trust what it says!

Or anywhere in Newfoundland.

Pope Leo's right hand is Cardinal Czerny. I knew him in Riverdale. He used to come to our punk shows to discuss grassroots activism. We met in a biker bar. He married my wife and I and was sent to El Salvador to defy the death squads after they murdered the Jesuit leaders. He is the real deal.

The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The fifth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

We regret to inform you that a lot of people seem to believe this myth, and related myths surrounding the vulva. These myths been around for literal millennia, even though there is no rooting whatsoever in reality. Let's take a look at the history of misogyny and racism inherent in this belief...

Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil is confirmed to have been killed by the IDF. Al Akhbar, her outlet, as well as LBCI and Al Jadeed, have confirmed it. The IDF, the world’s leading killer of journalists, was blocking rescue operations.

I am raising funds to maintain my housing another month while I look for a new job. Shares are a huge help. The sooner I start chipping away at this, the safer I'll be. Sorry paypal.me/kivabay ko-fi.com/kivabay Cash app $kivabay patreon.com/kivabay

A New Jersey data center will reportedly receive $77 million in tax breaks — while only creating one permanent job. One job, in exchange for higher utility bills, noise pollution, and potential groundwater pollution. Is it any wonder communities are organizing to stop data centers?

Your regular reminder that cops don't actually justify their existence or enormous budgets by solving much crime. Approximately 11% of all serious crimes result in an arrest, and about 2% end in a conviction. And then there's this...

The average person doesn’t give a fuck if AI has some niche use where it actually excels if used properly. In fact, that is what a tool is *supposed* to do and none of us will have a problem if it is used like that. What we see is AI fucking up real life in a massive way.

Bridget Phillipson will introduce new laws to make it possible for Universities to be fined millions of pounds if they don't silence students who protest bigots invited onto their campuses. It's like the Tories never left office.

No joke: Newfies are the nicest people on earth.

Do you live in the UK? Are you registered to vote in next month's elections? If not, you'd better get a move on, as tomorrow is the last day you can register. Fortunately, it's easy to do online. www.gov.uk/register-to-... 🗳️

We all known A*azon tends to sell books bellow list prices, but I've recently found them selling books at below WHOLESALE prices. I know this because I own a store. That's fucked up. Anyways, support your local book stores. Shit's tough.

Just 3 more days….I need this vacation SO MUCH.

Netanyahu has removed 40 thousand homes in Lebanon in less than a month . This war criminal needs to be brought to final Justice.

Some people have misunderstood this. We literally saw how Claude itself, coded by Claude, turns one API call into a DOS of thousands upon thousands of API calls done in the sloppiest fucking way possible. This postmortem shows Bluesky vibecoded a function to DOS itself, in a similarly stupid way.

My annual reminder that if you need to buy a window A/C this year do not simply buy the largest model you can afford. Energy Star has a sizing guide. Why do you want an AC that is sized for your room? Because an undersized A/C won't cool well and an oversized A/C will leave a space humid

You’re probably going to hear a lot about what the rich really pay in taxes today. This chart tells the real story.

Substack continues to get worse and that was an extremely low bar already.

Please read this thread, because everyone I know who works in higher education has said these exact things to me in the last couple of years. None of us have a solution, but we have to acknowledge this is a problem that is only getting worse.

Hi, yes this is a PSA: please stop installing random plugins on your website. There is a minimum 50% chance it’s a route in for hackers.
