Why does the BS app in the Discover tab show me posts from people I follow which I have already read in the Following tab?

Think of AI instead of cigarettes here. Nothing is inevitable.

Human traffickers often post photos of their victims in hotel rooms. This app is asking people to take photos of their hotel rooms, so analysts can determine where the photos were taken. spectrum.ieee.org/traffickcam-...

This!!

a lot of education is still based on the assumption that there is an objective frame of reference that contains all the right answers and all you need to do is gain access to it and repeat what it tells you

Guess what % of plastics have been #recycled? No prizes :(

Do I know anyone on here who might be able to get me a digital image of a page (or a few) of a manuscript in the Library of Ahmed III (in Istanbul)? The library doesn’t appear to have digitized much (or any) of the collection? 🗃️

Today I learned that NASA has a collection of free ebooks that can be downloaded as pdfs or ebub format. The science books even include a children’s section with fun activites and coloring books! science.nasa.gov/multimedia/s...

Hey! I’m CEO of a company that has just raised $10 billion for an app that takes the hard work out of enjoying music. Did you know, some people waste hours each day listening to “tunes”. Our AI will listen to it for you and summarise it in a 15 second scream leaving you more time to add value.

This made us think

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features." There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

I would laugh if this wasn't so true 😭

I feel like stuff like this is too often overlooked in discussions around technology-based mitigations of climate change. If we use tech innovations to make it easy and convenient for people to use the “greener” alternative that already exists, they’ll use it.

My friend Sascha is a professional musician and he's lost a viola bow on the way to Heathrow. Please signal boost to help him get it back.

A life update: this wound up paying off. I'm still applying to several jobs that are hopefully careers, but I've got my survival needs covered by a job at the airport that I'm apparently pretty good at. And instead of being in an office alone, which was driving me mad, I see 20k people a day.

I run many Futures Literacy Laboratories in German and in English. Some of them are open for anybody who is interested (at a fee), such as this one on the Futures of Learning: www.eventbrite.de/e/the-future...

Tech that was predicted vs Tech that was not. Interesting list by Kevin Kelly kk.org/thetechnium/...

Someday people will start noticing that the most eminent roboticist in the world has an uninterrupted multi-decade record of deep skepticism about almost all uses of robotics and “AI” that has been proven uniformly correct

A customer just came into the shop and bought 12 books for her friend’s birthday. She’s going to wrap them individually and write a different month of the year on each one, so her friend has a new book to read every month until her next birthday. And I think that’s just the most thoughtful gift.

TIL that we wouldn't have tequila if it wasn't for bats pollinating the agave flowers, at night. It turns out that ecosystems are very busy in the dark, up to all sorts of things. Next week's Rare Earth is all about noctural ecology - what is it, why does it matter & how is it affected by us?

HUGE NEWS FROM HELSINKI, FINLAND Helsinki, a city of 690 000 people, has now had a full year without any traffic fatalities. None. No pedestrian, cyclist, scooter user or car deaths. This is a huge achievement for a city of our size. 💪🏻 A little background 🧵 1/ yle.fi/a/74-20174831
