I still don't understand how ostensible experts are saying we're only a few years away from true AGI (or even superintelligence). Analytical AI/ML is ultimately just statistical modeling and analysis, and generative AI is just auto-correct amped up a bunch.

Today, we’re launching #ChildCancerSmart alongside campaign ambassador @dramirkhangp.bsky.social - an evidence-based public and professional awareness campaign to improve #EarlyDiagnosis of cancer in children and teenagers aged up to 18 🩵🎗️ Find out more at cclg.org.uk/childcancers...

If you think it can’t happen here, remember that it already did. In 1942 soldiers came with rifles to our home and ordered us out. They put us in internment camps. Most of us were citizens.

Prof Cole makes stats meaningful, understandable, and has improved child research massively over the last decades

Before Capture Mateo felt sad whenever he saw a charity shop. He hated that people cared about other things but that no-one cared enough to try to help save his sister. Through Capture Mateo feels as though he can make a difference. He feels less sad because he knows others care.

Something is happening in the town of Thornmount. A disturbance in the Major World is upsetting the balance and people are falling to apathy, causing the town to slowly grind to a halt. Only a few can shift from the Minor World, investigate the problem, and resolve it. By word, deed, or violence.

Roll For Good is gearing up for another charity #streaming #ttrpg event, set to take place on May 17th and 18th. www.geeknative.com/1...
