I don't think we should be jumping to any conclusions.

Hornet's back. Don't really want to shut all the windows...

Lord Kinnock calling Brexit an "unmitigated, unprecedented, continuing disaster" sums it up perfectly. With marchers filling London demanding our star back, the political silence is finally shattering. Turns out a decade of economic drag can’t be hidden forever. 🥾🇪🇺 #RejoinEU #UKPolitics

Im Südwesten Frankreichs wird die Hitzewelle jetzt extrem. Ab morgen gibt es 5 Tage lang zwischen 38 und 43°. In den Nächten kühlt es selbst im Raum Paris nur auf 26° ab. Bezogen auf ganz 🇫🇷 (nationaler Temp.-Index) könnten das die bisher heißesten Tage seit Messbeginn werden.

ANY other President would have been removed, disgraced, and castigated.

Seeing as he never believed in it in the first place, why would he come out and say this?

Anyone think Google AI may NOT be totally impartial when it comes to big business versus local businesses? This is poor.

Blimey

In case you were wondering.

You know. Aztecs and Incas. What's the difference. (Also not ancient.)

Les appels et les textes se multiplient pour réclamer une « bonne » intelligence artificielle. Mais le problème est plus profond : c’est dans son principe même, dans sa fonction sociale, que cette technologie est néfaste. Par @romaricgodin.bsky.social

France will be at the epicenter of the most significant heat anomaly on the planet over the next few days. The sheer extent of the country that could experience temperatures above 40°C is nothing short of astonishing.

The author works for the American Enterprise Institute, a famously conservative think tank. Never mistake the “birthrate crisis” for anything else: it’s actively cooked up by misogynist Rightists and has been adopted by the Left as presumably pro-woman (it isn’t).

Friday afternoon bunch of Y9s couldn't tell me what je veux means. Y8 and Y9 entirely centred around can/can't have to want to going to like love prefer. Does this tell us we need to spend even more time on it? Or it doesn't matter how long you spend. So you may as well do something else?

Big Tech's emissions increased 150% in just 4 years, "thanks" to the exploding electricity demands of slop-bucket LLMs that boil lakes to rephrase the internet Generative AI is worse than useless; it is making it impossible for us to limit climate change www.energymonitor.ai/news/interna...

Whoah. You thought potato salad coated with a pot of Moroccan style couscous was good. Now add some chicken in mayonnaise.

You can't learn something you don't understand. And if you understand it, you've all but learned it.

I knew it!!!

That one speaking card question asking for a short opinion on skiing has a lot to answer for. Also it's thrown in the "abstract" word again because it's got meagre pickings to make a meal of.

Oh great.

I asked AI what the govt curriculum reforms in MFL will propose. It grasps at anything and announces it as definitive:

The last 7 words. Contradictory? True? Confused?

Is this true? Or is it AI?

When you ask AI about something it doesn't know much about, it makes garbled mountains out of random molehills. This is meaningless nonsense:

So strong

Research confirms that the more skilled professionals like doctors and software engineers rely on AI, the more their skills degrade. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ Wow I wonder why tech regulation on the UK is so bad… oh wait… men like this

The truth of the people who stand to gain from AI. They are treating us and the planet like their own computer game simulation.

Ballroom on one of the wings?

I finally figured out why AI causes such a visceral reaction in thinking humans: I am writing my book chapter on PLAY, and AI is the opposite of play. We play for the joy of the process, not for the outcome. Yes it is nice to win, to have the art/ poem, but the point of life is to play.

The question of what an economy built around wellbeing - not growth - looks like dominates many of us in the heterodox space. Over 400 people have shown us what a shared solution looks like: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... What do you think?

Thanks to AI, Google is about as reliable as asking your older brother in the 80s.

I was not in the room for this, thank you

I could see it featured on a future season of Ma Parole!, a French show on communication, particularly public speaking. One of my favorite seasons is with Bertrand Périer. He used speeches by Pres. Obama, Greta Thunberg, and others to illustrate rhetorical devices used to persuade an audience.
