En kort #introduktion: Jeg er biokemiker af uddannelse, software-udvikler af profession og er her mest af alt for at følge de folk der ikke migrerede til Mastodon dengang Musk overtog Twitter. Jeg er her mest for #dkpol og #dkmedier

New: Trio of Dem senators urge Apple and Google to enforce their own terms of service and ban X, Grok apps for their flood of nonconsensual sexual imagery.

I've repeatedly asked both Apple and Google about this for three days. They're completely silent, seemingly hoping the question just goes away.

“Turning a blind eye to X’s egregious behavior would make a mockery of your moderation practices,” three Democratic senators wrote to Apple’s and Google’s CEOs.

The first time Charlie Chaplin spoke onscreen, he implored the people of the world to resist the rising tide of fascism.

Nearly 90 years later, it remains a timely message.

BREAKING: X’s chatbot Grok isn’t just making AI porn deepfakes, it’s now making Nazi AI porn deepfakes, undressing women and showing them wearing “swastika bikinis”. Many of these women are Jewish, including a recently deceased Holocaust survivor.

My point was that the benefit side of the evaluation is different which affects the whole evaluation of a treatment. Even if the cost side goes down at the same rate and the ability to carry that cost is the same, adoption rate would be slower in a healthy population with access to healthcare

Johan Pelck Olsen @jpkolsen.bsky.social · 4d
Ability or willingness I guess. Whenever a treatment is evaluated, it’s a cost/benefit situation. You point out that Denmark adopted some vaccines slower than the us, and I read (perhaps mistakenly?) that as a suggestion that DK was somehow behind the curve.

My point is that the health authorities in any developed country evaluates the risk and severity of contracting a preventable disease in the context of that country. Civilized countries have universal healthcare and healthier populations, meaning something like chickenpox is almost always trivial.

It turns out civilized countries have less need for infant immunization because their populations are healthier and they are better at keeping infection levels low and treating cases that become severe.

For decades, Canadians eagerly rushed onto US tech platforms and services. But now the drawbacks of that dependence are on full display.

For @policyalternatives.ca, I explain the economic and political consequences of a US-dominated internet — and why digital sovereignty is imperative.
