I now allocate a tutorial to critical ai literacy, in the weeks before a major essay is due. Most students know the slop is slop, and quickly learn it is planet-boiling slop. If unis can not educate students about ai what the fuck is the point is my view.

If you ever end up recording a final message, ensure you dedicate a good chunk of it to roasting your nemeses, like Jane Goodall did

In an interview for a new Netflix documentary filmed months before her death, famed British primatologist Jane Goodall called for billionaire and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk to be blasted into space.

“Absolutely, there are people I don’t like,” she told interviewer and TV writer Brad Falchuk, “and I would like to put them on one of Musk’s spaceships and send them all off to the planet he’s sure he’s going to discover.”

When asked if she would like Musk to be on the spacecraft alongside them, she sounded off.

“Oh, absolutely, he’d be the host,” she said. “Along with Musk, it’d be [president Donald] Trump and some of Trump’s real supporters.”

“Put them all on that spaceship and send them off,” she concluded.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States.

America is on the brink of martial law.

Do not be silent.

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

I’ve been using an app called ‘Yuka’ to scan barcodes on food items. You would be amazed at some of the crap in processed foods. Gives a rating out of 100 based on nutrition, additives etc.
