Sure, economic liberals, wealth creation is fine. But it's my fourth priority after environmental sustainability, narrow global differences in individual wealth, and world peace. So if you can't deliver those first, I don't want to hear about wealth creation, because I have more important things […]

Many asked me about #chatcontrol and its link to CSAM. In my view, it actually puts children more at risk. Private conversations between parents, teachers, or healthcare professionals will be exposed, increasing the amount of children-related content visible to third parties. Encryption protects […]

Neighbor put a rather sad-looking old guitar out with the trash. Guy just walked by, did a double take, looked it up and down, picked it up, and continued his walk while playing it and singing. Both were out of tune, which did nothing to diminish the joy.

I'm showing fifth graders how to sew a book which we will fill with codes and encryption puzzles. They can all count in binary and came in very excited to learn since they heard about it from the older students last year. I get paid for this.

"The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) split with federal #health officials and recommended that all U.S. adults get an updated #COVID19 #vaccine for the upcoming respiratory virus season." In less polite terms, they told #rfkjr#vaccine#COVID19#health go fuck himself, and rightly so […]

What is the double-underlined Russian word? A collaborator told me that it means “decorated” or “honored.” My best wrong reading is «кагратдей»... not apparently a word. Can anyone please correct me? #russian #cyrillic #paleography #cursive #document #русский

2024 wurde Kamala Harris gefaktencheckt. Sie „lüge“, wenn sie sage, Trump würde die Armee auf die Bevölkerung loslassen. Sie habe keine Belege dafür usw. Jetzt prahlt Trump damit, sein KRIEGSministerium auf Chicago loszulassen. Rechtsextreme lügen. Hört auf die Warnungen. Bevor es zu spät ist.

What would happen if Britain really did send all the non-white people home overnight? According to an associate this has nearly 400,000 shares on Facebook, so I thought I'd share it on the fedi!

“Computer science isn’t political!”, they said. “I’m just going to develop AI products for startup cash and to draw cute girls”, they said. “You’re over reacting and making everything political”, they said. We need ethics training in engineering […]

For pete's sake, @mozilla : if you want to measure whether the AI/ML features are worth a damn, put a big green "disable all AI in my browser" button on the version update screen and put some telemetry around how many people instantly click it. Just about everyone I know who has taken the 142 […]

Thank you, dear @aerynthrace.bsky.social for your presentation on "Researchers are human: Implications for Open Science and the Scientific Record" yesterday. We were delighted to have you here and appreciate the constructive exchange. 😀

If, like me, you are fighting fascism in the United States, I’m sending you good cheer.

Last week trump announced plans to "review" 8 Smithsonian museums. Today he doubled down, very explicit about the intent to revise history to reflect the ethno-nationalist fantasy of US history. You can do something about that! We are backing up the digital archives of those museums on sciop […]

On the road to authoritarianism, this is a whole factory of red flags. It lays bare the political power grab driving the Trump administration’s expansion of the police power. Although administration officials claim to be combating crime, they are setting up a one-state political system that […]

Hey collective mastodon brain: Does anyone know if there is a formal term for how our individual training and experience shape the decisions we make when problem-solving?

Anyone here with kids that play #roblox should be made aware of the ongoing (and exploding) child safety issues on the platform. And of Roblox's refusal to address the problem, instead attacking those who do. #freeschlep Ported from Bsky but the video explainer is here […]

Ugh. From now on when I read "LLM," I'm gonna interpret that to mean "Lame-ass Lying Machine." It's as stupid a term as "AI," which will all know means "Automated Idiot."

The first privately developed U.S. nuclear enrichment facility is going to be built in Paducah, Kentucky at the site of a former nuclear fuel plant. The US government is now allowing a private citizen to enrich uranium, aka nuclear bombs. That private citizen is "destroy humanity" Peter Thiel.

If you search "Trump" on Duck Duck Go the first auto suggestion is "Trump Epstein" If you search "Trump" or even "Trump E" on Google, there's no mention of Epstein whatsoever. One of these platforms is juicing its results.

Not an overstatement at all

Mega-billionaire Musk's sleaze and hypocrisy are boundless. One of his companies claimed to be a ‘disadvantaged business’ to get special federal treatment while he was wrecking agency after agency. Destroying Tesla, his primary piggy bank, has never bee more important […]

A reminder that after years of speaking out against Epstein and giving other survivors the courage to come forward, Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre died by suicide in April at the age of 41. Let's not forget that there are real human tragedies behind everything we're discussing.

There are girls and women who have been horribly abused by Epstein and the people he enabled. Very very few of them came forward, and those who did paid a heavy price for it. Many victims are probably terrified of the can of worms randomly publishing such a list would open. Is there actually a […]
