A pressure cooker, like InstantPot or similar device, makes dried beans light work.
Better price and taste 🫘🍽

~ 45 min for chickpeas
~ 35 min for black or kidney, black-eyed peas, etc.

I like to pressure cook them first, then finish in a skillet or pot with seasonings, tomatoes, mushrooms, etc.

β€œSome major universities are inviting tech companies, which typically supply campus computers and email, to take on a much bigger role as education thought partners, A.I. instructors and curriculum providers.”
β€œLater in the week, students watched a futuristic video from an A.I. education start-up called Matter + Space. The reel showed Native American young people wearing A.I. glasses + tracking devices that continually monitored their activities + mood.” 😳

I asked Justice Brett Kavanaugh about his September 8 concurrence and the reality that has followed. Because he should be asked. He, unsurprisingly, did not respond.

These platforms can effectively manipulate individual emotions and affect at scale, including influencing behavior.

We we say that they personalize content, but the goal is to persuade.

The only question is, for what purpose? To make us do what?

So it really matters who controls them.

I went to a book festival panel called "Weapons of Persuasion: The Forces Trying to Control Us".
omg

It had historian Rebecca Lemov (The Instability of Truth: Brainwashing, Mind Control, and Hyper-Persuasion) & tech reporter Emily Baker-White (Every Screen on the Planet: The War Over TikTok).

β€œWe can stop. We can pause. We can demand something better. And we must. Because there is a body count.” @lollardfish.bsky.social
Here’s where it gets personal for me. When I was 9, I started experiencing suicidal ideation … disinterested in living, and at least some of the time contemplating death and how it might happen … It’s easy to imagine how I would have used programs like these chatbots.
Perry: How can AI be used ethically when it’s been linked to suicide?
"It’s not on us, on you and me, to use AI ethically or responsibly. It’s on the companies to build safe, reliable, ethical products," David M. Perry writes.
