hey guys everything is gonna be okay ... april fools

I thought it was pretentious, right from the start, but of course it was just bloody marketing - turn it on by default and it's free advertising sent with every e-mail. There was a joke going round in the early handheld device days: "How do you know someone has an iPad?" "They'll tell you"

I got a “please consider the environment before printing this email” this morning. Dude, genuine question, are you still struggling to adjust to the Age of Computer or do you think I am?

Sanctioned war criminal Min Aung Hlaing and his family will continue to amass ill-gotten wealth and invest it in the region. Governments must stand with the ppl of Myanmar, block the junta’s access to funds, arms, equipment and aviation fuel, and end this wholesale asset theft. buff.ly/nVBFvOc

OpenAI ”acknowledged in its own research that LLMs will always produce hallucinations due to fundamental mathematical constraints that cannot be solved through better engineering, marking a significant admission from one of the AI industry’s leading companies.” You can’t trust chatbots.

Every so often I realise damn I’m old. Like, it winds me up no end when people’s emails say “Sent from my iPhone” because it seems like a brag, but heck, everyone has an iPhone now. Maybe even a decade ago it was a flex, but now it’s probably just because that person doesn’t know how to delete it.

Interesting to see this section about the 3 pillars of representation: - the states/federal units/ EROs, - the people. - Women. How these are actually represented will be key. Hopefully more than just lip service.

KIO, KNU, CNF, Karenni state council, CRPH & the NUG have announced the creation of "the steering council for the emergence of a Federal Democratic Union" in Myanmar. Hopefully leads to more involvement of stakeholders in the formation of what comes next & more coordination between resistance.

tragic for any celebrity who dies in the age of AI, where some click-pimp will create ten thousand facebook groups of You speaking as a ghost or sucking the reaper's Dick

‘Succulent Chinese meal’ speech added to Australia’s National Film and Sound Archive

The government is reportedly considering triggering the break clause in Palantir’s NHS data contract. It's a no-brainer - this break clause is an exit ramp and the government should take it.

ai feature implementation strategy is essentially “how annoying can we make the ui” so people accidently hit ai features so these companies can brag about how “highly used” ai features are internally

INCREDIBLE STUFF!! “And while the IOC says the SRY gene "represents highly accurate evidence that an athlete has experienced male sex development,"… the scientist who discovered the SRY gene in 1990, Andrew Sinclair, has publicly opposed using the test to determine biological sex.” MY GOD

This is quite something from Singapore's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Vivian Balakrishnan, in an interview with Reuters. The end of the post-war order, diagnosed in technocratic language. www.mfa.gov.sg/newsroom/pre...

im not talking about messing up someone's pronouns and apologizing, i mean the hardcore "your GENITALS are WRONG" shit, its invariably linked to every other bigotry around

yes this has a lot to do with me finally transitioning, but i notice that transphobia seems to often be the hinge that turns people from relatively normal into frothing would-be genocidaires

If you’re not a First Nations Canadian, I’d cool it on the “colonizer” stuff. Also, the car bomb jibe is disgusting and unwarranted: why is your response to “Actually, school houses are pretty standard here” to tell someone they should be violently killed?

Personally, I think this might be the most significant Foreign Office failure and scandal in decades. Starmer's Government actively put a friendly relationship with the UAE ahead of preventing a genocide and buried their own analysis to do it.

The Jetsons lied to us

Feeling this today It's almost like the whole concept of "work really hard and you'll reap good rewards" actually may not be true

Why is everything so much harder than it needs to be?

'The extraordinary life of an exiled Punjabi princess [well, actually, she was born in Britain], embraced by the British royal court and a goddaughter of Queen Victoria, but who would become a pioneering suffragette...is to be told in a new exhibition.' 1/2

the media is now telling people to work from home to save on gasoline, immediately after their years-long crusade to tell us why returning to office is best for everyone. this isn't a gotcha, it's an example of how contradicting demands allow the ruling class to blame us no matter what we do

I don't normally subscribe to the "German has a word for it" thing because all languages can invent and borrow new words! That said, I can't stop thinking about "hobbyless" as an insult since I saw it a few days ago, so here you go It promotes a growth mindset!! www.tumblr.com/abbiistabbii...

At least Matt Goodwin is doing wonders in terms of providing an example of why using AI is both exceptionally stupid and generally quite obvious. Students, take note and don’t seek to covertly use AI because you, like Goodwin, will end up looking very silly.

ME POSTING: Good pussy sound like the Silent Hill radio ME AFTER I NOTICE A FAMOUS PERSON JUST FOLLOWED ME: More than ever it is so inportant to be apprised of all that is to be and furthermore to learn of all that could in the best manner we are able as this is the true delight of Life
