Can’t honestly tell whether I hate AI or if I just I hate that everyone who tells you about the possibilities of AI is the biggest least creative loser on earth.

checking if they cited me

Daar istie weer hoor! Over een nieuw paper met @izaakdekker.bsky.social, de "techlash" die eraan komt, en Mei Social Vrij (dus de komende maand zie je me hier niet meer... als ik het volhou) www.felienne.nl/2026-17

New newsletter!! About a new paper I wrote with @izaakdekker.bsky.social, the coming "techlash" and a month of no socials! www.felienne.nl/2026-17/#eng...

Especially apt since the shooter is not in fact dead

"Safety lights are for dudes" is such such a heartwarming quote. A sense of belonging I rarely feel in movies!

Just saw a take only women use mirrors Thank god we are post gender

Among other things, I think this trend reduces the strength of the claim by social media platforms that they are not publishers, and therefore not responsible for content.

I'll say it again, one of the worst things this rampant push to cram "generative AI" into everything has done is make people suspect bright kids of cheating when they're just nerdy or bookish or neurodivergent, sanding down their unique edges to fit into people's lowered, homogenized expectations.

I'm no fan of Piers Morgan, but this clip shows what a grifting charlatan Russell Brand is so effectively. Brand is so self confident yet so lazy, he wasn't prepared to be questioned on his newly found beliefs. It isn't as if sticky tabs or highlighters exist. Or that Bible verses are numbered.

"Unsurprisingly, it’s easier to bounce back from allegations if you have a lot of money. Every venture capitalist or investor we identified either kept his job or found a new one." Via @ekp.bsky.social sfstandard.com/2026/04/20/7...

It's not hyperbole in the least to say Musk purchased a six-month shadow presidency for $280 million and used the power of that shadow presidency to 1. Steal the government’s data, 2. Permanently damage the state’s ability to regulate his businesses, and 3, kill non-white people.

The current season of THE BOYS is hitting way too close to home for me

This is not wrong.

I hated serial killers until I got that first rush of my hands squeezing tighter and tighter around a helpless delicate neck

Quite funny that the anti-Corbyn faction's warnings of how Corbyn and co would run the party into the ground was (eventually) proved correct and that simultaneously, the pro-Corbyn faction's warnings of how the Starmer project would play out have also been proven largely correct.

Training people to participate in platform governance exclusively by hollering and then letting them into an ecosystem where the only real change lever is exit has sure produced a wild demonstration of “if it fails, do it harder.”

They think you're stupid.

This is the thing, if "academia" wanted to stop this, we could easily tomorrow. Over 3 incorrect references? Rejected and forbidden to submit next year. The purpose of a system is what it does!

the scourge of fail son incompetence is proof positive of a universal and eternal human condition

The Dutch government entrusted a company called Solvinity with hosting our digital ID system DigiD. Now that's in the process of being sold to an American company, Kyndryl, handing the Trump regime a unique tool to apply pressure. Parliament wants to dissolve the contract. www.rtl.nl/nieuws/polit...

Is dit een leuke vorm van wensdenken of juist een zeer accurate voorspelling? Scherp, prikkelend en daardoor interessant toekomstbeeld door @felienne.bsky.social www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2026/...

The cult leader on my sweater is raising a lot of questions already answered by my sweater.

Like, it can never just be "Trump is a political actor who I thought I understood, but who is taking actions that I disagree with." It's gotta be, I thought Trump was the second coming of Christ, but now I understand that he's ackshually the Antichrist.

Pete Hegseth Nailed It. No Really. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/pete-...

One thing that’s interesting about this story is how it suggests that the social transmission mechanism means that the radicalizing effects of the internet can spread to people who aren’t online.

Bluesky devs

It might be AI, it might be generic stupidity; funny in either case!

Nederland:: yoh, wij laten onze complete belastingdienst en DigiD via de Amerikanen lopen. Wat kan er nou misgaan?

I’ve been staring at this sign for about 15 minutes and I’m getting even further away from understanding what it means

Please all I beg of you read some history of technology and you won’t fall for that „unpolitical“ shtick anymore. Start easy , with Mumford. Very readable if old-fashioned

JD you just got here bro this isn’t how it works

They’re called Generation X, because they do their banking on X, the everything app.

When democracy dies. Karl Bodek’s “The Banquet of Nations.” The Jewish artist was interned at Camp des Milles, a concentration camp for artists run by the Nazi’s puppet Vichy government. On Sept. 10, 1942 he was deported to Auschwitz, where he was murdered.

“I’ve been using ChatGPT to help with cooking for a while now, so I didn’t think too much of it when the ingredients list included a bottle filled with gasoline and a cloth wick,” said the alleged attacker

Energy policy think tanks keep putting out proposals like "give Mark Zuckerberg sole control over our utility rates by making him America's next grid czar" and the people in Everytown, America are like "go ahead and fuckin try"

Another week another newsletter (in English again!) Grading with AI, a good idea? The Dutch news only gave me a few seconds, here is my longer take: www.felienne.nl/2026-15/#eng...

Weer een week, weer een nieuwsbrief! Nakijken met AI, is dat nou een goed idee? In het NOS journaal kreeg ik maar een paar tellen, lees hier mijn langere take! www.felienne.nl/2026-15/

WaPo website replaced search with AI and it's going great

As I sit here listening to a shark tank guy give a closing keynote talking so excitedly about AI investment

There will never be enough victim-blaming to make up for poor infrastructure and missing leadership. But it sure makes a nice distraction for decision-makers hiding from responsibility, right? Classic ad by our own @tomflood.bsky.social for @visionzerovancouver.ca. #UrbanTruth

I say again that every ceo of a company with a chatbot should be personally, individually liable for every piece of text it produces, as though it is something they themselves said

This infuriating attitude shows up on the bookshelves in learning environments, too. We expect girls to empathize with boys, but we kneecap every opportunity to let boys empathize with girls. And look where we are.

Hogere operationele kosten en het feit dat de marathon georganiseerd wordt door een commercieel bedrijf. www.ad.nl/regiosport-r...

Nope. Start instead by addressing the pay gap in teaching (and other "feminized" professions). And stop denigrating educators by blaming them for problems they didn't create and can't be expected to solve on their own.

well well well if it isn’t the consequences of their actions
