Bernie Sanders wusste schon vor zwanzig Jahren, wie sich die Dinge entwickeln werden.
Wenn man Politik für Superreiche macht kommt man auf 1% der Stimmen, außer man spaltet jede erdenkliche Bevölkerungsgruppe.

Het schijnt heel sneu te zijn voor de mensen die hun stad niet meer herkennen door alle 'buitenlanders', maar ik vind het zieliger voor mezelf dat ik mijn land niet meer herken door al het openlijke racisme dat daar vaak uit volgt.

wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...
Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors
“With fewer visits to Wikipedia, fewer volunteers may grow and enrich the content, and fewer individual donors may support this work.”

Having famous contestants is a betrayal of all that’s great about the show – and a misunderstanding of what makes humans tick, says Zoe Williams

Fuck sake. I'm literally just writing a Word document and saving it to my hard drive. STOP ASKING ME TO USE YOUR SHITTY AI AND YOUR SHITTY CLOUD SERVICE. Why is this decades old basic task such a fucking chore now? It's broiling my shit.

Ik vind het niet erg dat de kruidnoten vroeg in de winkels liggen, maar wel dat ik me extra lang moet ergeren aan mensen die het verschil tussen pepernoten en kruidnoten niet weten.

Hear hear!
De Amerikaanse evenknie van ex-‘minister’ Marjolein Faber is Kristi Noem.
Zij gaat oa over migratie. En zij is ook een uitstekend voorbeeld waarom ‘body shaming’ of belachelijk maken vanwege uiterlijk zo onzinnig is.
(Idem voor Van der Plas trouwens.)
Stop daarmee.
👉De lelijkheid zit van binnen.

Ik maak een draadje over ‘genormaliseerd gedrag dat eigenlijk misogyn is’ zodat #notallmen dat herkennen en zo ‘die ene man’ kunnen aanspreken op micro-agressie.
Het herkennen van deze patronen is de eerste stap naar gelijkwaardigheid, waarin we niet worden beoordeeld op misogyne vooroordelen.

Finally, finally got my mitts on a copy of Mojo. Just wondering if the UK kept all the Suede covers for themselves, because only Brian Wilson available here.

Every. Single. Story. about women not using AI as much as men portray it as bad for their future career prospects (without a shred of evidence) and a result of women being fearful little ladies rather than looking at AI's output and saying "this sucks, it's not going to help me."
For women, the increase of AI use in the workplace may affect their careers: Harvard study

You know what emergent tech of the last decade actually works well, and was adopted by millions?
3D printing. It’s great! So many applications.
But also nobody is sneering at you for not having or utilizing 3D printing. Nobody is trying to sneak a 3D printer into your garage without your consent
