I’m going to keep calling Charlie Kirk a fascist who should not be valorized. I am not capitulating to the climate of repression the Trump regime and its supporters have created. The only way to protect freedom to speak truth, is to keep speaking truth.

Don't stop me now Don't stop me 'Cause I'm having a good time, having a good time

"Confirmation bias (tendency to believe what you already believe) + automation bias (tendency to believe what a computer says) + isolation + an AI chatbot that constantly reinforces whatever you say = an incredibly powerful recipe for psychological dependence and thus user retention and thus money".

I have these two sentences stuck in my head these days: A French minister: we need to prepare ourselves for a future when temperatures are 4°C higher. A climate scientist: with a raise of 4°C above pre-industrial age, up to 90% of the world's population may die. #climatecrisis #climate […]

Decidme una cosa; Si ya estamos viendo como cada vez más gente usa las IA para pedirle que le explique qué ropa le sienta mejor, qué debería hacer con su ex-novio, qué partes de su cuerpo se podrían mejorar o qué debe comer, qué ejercicios debe hacer, quién tiene razón en una discusión online o […]
