El tema influencers es una movida full blackmirroriana de la que hablamos poquísimo para lo tocha que es. Hay una generación entera de chavalxs (y no tan chavalxs) que aspira a vivir de crear contenido completamente ficticio fingiendo que es su vida cotidiana.

La madre de una influencer le oyó grabar "Este finde tengo una boda y voy a compartir los outfits que he preparado, a ver qué os parecen." Llamó a la puerta y preguntó:
- Nena ¿quién se casa? ¿Los conozco?
- Mamá, no se casa nadie, no seas ingenua, algo tengo que inventar para subir videos.

Well done Shafaq Aftab. When a reviewer stole her work and published it under his own name, she fought for a YEAR to get the journal to retract the paper. Just wondering why it took Wiley a YEAR to do this. 🧪 #academicsky

Yesterday I was told that the class I’m scheduled to teach this month, Confronting Oppression & Injustice, is no longer part of our curriculum. This is a required class yet there was no discussion, no faculty vote, just an email saying the class no longer exists. This is what it’s like in Texas now.

That, and this one too.
Image of a post in which Tom Morello responds to some guy ironically calling him "another successful musician [who] instantly becomes a political expert". Morello's answer reads: "One does not have to be an honors grad in political science from Harvard University to recognize the unethical and inhumane nature of this administration but well, I happen to be an honors grad in political science from Harvard University so I can confirm that for you".

De seguir este ritmo, es posible que en unos 50 años no haya Mar Menor, sino solamente un inmenso lodazal pestilente.

Mientras tanto, las que se inundan de fango son las casas. Construidas en terreno inundable.

Recuperar la calidad ambiental en su cuenca vertiente es clave.

Olas de fango. Así lo describen los medios y los vecinos. De un paisaje aterrizado y con numerosas manchas de vegetación natural se ha pasado a un paisaje de agricultura intensiva, labrado a favor de pendiente. Y edificaciones donde no toca.

The image is a humorous meme titled "Every Graph About the US." It depicts a simplistic graph with two intersecting lines. - The horizontal axis is labeled "Some" on the left and "metric" on the right. - The vertical dotted line in the middle is labeled "Ronald Reagan." - The green line, labeled "Good thing," starts high on the left and trends downward as it moves right. - The red line, labeled "Bad thing," starts low on the left and trends upward as it moves right. - The lines intersect at the "Ronald Reagan" point

As an example: AI doesn't understand "no." Because the statements "no ketchup on my burger" and "ketchup on my burger" are almost identical to a machine that does not and cannot actually reason. It's only a 2 letter difference.
AI doesn't know 'no' – and that's a huge problem for medical bots
Many AI models fail to recognise negation words such as “no” and “not”, which means they can’t easily distinguish between medical images labelled as showing a disease and images labelled as not showin...

A simple four panel comic with a round character. Top caption reads Before you leave the house, check you have. Panel 1 shows keys with a banana keychain, labeled Keys. Panel 2 shows a green wallet, labeled Wallet. Panel 3 shows a blue phone, labeled Phone. Panel 4 shows the character holding a colorful tangled scribble, labeled The vague sense that you have forgotten something. A playful take on the keys wallet phone routine.
