Los grandes medios españoles, de radio, televisión y prensa, están muy preocupados por las #FakeNews tras dos años llamando «conflicto» al asesinato indiscriminado de inocentes. Solo cuando han visto que la población está mejor informada que ellos se han decidido a decir #Genocidio Son lamentables.

He eliminat comptes de meta a Facebook i Instagram, WhatsApp encara no impossible. Molt trist renunciar a tants records i converses en aquestes plataformes, però ja tocava. La majoria d'amigues encara no són aquí, però ho havia de dir en algun lloc. Pensant també en substack. Algú ho fa servir?

I just deleted my meta account for facebook and instagram (whatsapp not doable yet). Sad to give up on so many memories, conversations in those platforms, buy it was long due. Most friends are not here yet, but had to mention it somewhere. Thinking about turning to substack too. Any experiences?

“Gaza arde”, dijo un ministro israelí. Un informe para la ONU concluye que Israel ha cometido al menos 4 de los 5 actos que definen el crimen de genocidio. El exterminio ya no es hipótesis: está ocurriendo. Lo cuenta @gorkacastillo.bsky.social

It may not be a good technical argument, but 🫐 is an excellent example to discuss the other tiny #AI issues: constant errors, the tricks to get you engaged anyway, monopolies, excessive data extraction, energy excess, poor products sold to management that users dislike, basically the con itself.

The Center for the sociology of innovation learned with great sadness that Michel Callon has passed away. A graduate of the École des Mines, Michel joined the center in the late 1960s and was its director from 1982 to 1994.

I honestly can’t believe there are still any AI skeptics out there. This tech is obviously revolutionary

I have seen teams of PhD level experts fail at almost everything imaginable, including, but not limited to: agreeing on a place to have lunch, making coffee and finding a bus stop. And I have been on all those teams.
