People with psychopathic traits and low cognitive ability are over-represented in online political activity. - Unless a platform "gate keeps" these people out they essentially destroy the place, same as they would do in a public bar. #mastodon #fediverse #twitter #socialmedia #facebook […]

THE FIRST SUNRISE The Australian aborigines are deeply interested in the universe about them, the stars, the sky, and in particular, the earth itself. Out of this timeless interest has grown a rich heritage of myths and beliefs: the earth floats in the middle of a […] [Original post on aus.social]

I think there is something fundamentally wrong with Big Tech playing the nationalism card and I think regulation is more important than ever before. Most Americans also want Big Tech to be regulated. #apple #facebook #meta #google #microsoft #technology #eu #regulation #politics […]

@philip You couldn't be the only Gunzel in Melbourne to not do a Munnel Opening video 😉 The people have spoken "More fequency!!" https://youtu.be/glXuJfXsnDM

The Australien Government has made an ad about the Social Media Ban for Under-16s, and it's surprisingly honest and informative. #socialmedia @parismarx https://youtu.be/ZxRB5qWphJE

Another excellent video from Damien Walter, leaving me with a lot to think about! #movies #scifi #epstein https://youtu.be/eFJhR6fM3vU

The acceleration of agentic coding and the plummet in software reliability aren't two separate stories. They're the same story. *Even if* a particular bug/problem can't be traced back to a slop source, the proliferation of slop is itself a net drag on software teams and leads to overall […]
