New favorite octopus fact

ChrisP @wordsmithgetxo.bsky.social · 12h

In an old ad for board game Scattergories in Spain a player was shown flouncing out while anothet said “OK, we’ll accept ‘octopus’ as a pet”.
“Aceptamos pulpo” has now entered the language in the meaning of “that’s a bit of a stretch but let’s go with it just for the sake of argument”.

Hoy en día, esto es punky y anti-sistema 😅 Hace años me dio por reivindicar la importancia de la "lentitud" y me autoetiqueté como "slow programmer": si hiciera eso ahora mismo, no volvería a conseguir una entrevista de trabajo en mi vida... 🙃

(por supuesto, estoy 100% de acuerdo con el texto 🫶🏽✊🏽)

Qué bueno Máximo en su Honos de hoy. honosbyomixam.substack.com/p/honos-273-...

$Imagen con un extracto de un párrafo del artículo de Honos: “Vivimos en una cultura que sospecha de la lentitud, que la asocia al fracaso, a la pereza, a la ineficiencia, y que celebra, en cambio, lo inmediato, lo veloz, lo reactivo, como si pensar despacio fuera una debilidad o una excentricidad fuera de lugar, y sin embargo, basta con recordar los momentos que más sentido han tenido en nuestra vida para advertir que casi siempre fueron lentos: una conversación sin prisa, un paseo sin dirección, una sobremesa que se alarga porque sí, una lectura que nos llevó semanas y que no hubiéramos querido terminar.”$

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

This was fun, thanks for having us @ruthmalan.bsky.social et al 😀

Ruth Malan @ruthmalan.bsky.social · 3d

Discussion will be led by @rebeccawb.bsky.social and @mathiasverraes.bsky.social

Also, for those who can stay on after the hour, there is a further 30 minutes of “hallway chat.”

All of which makes for a place to have a focused discussion, and some time to range further, and connect.

Allí se repetía mucho el mensaje de: “Queremos que la gente haga challenge de nuestras decisiones”.

En la práctica, muy poca gente lo hacía.

¿La razón? Los pocos que se atrevían solían llevarse un buen zasca en público por parte de alguien con más peso en la organización.

Hola @sirviendocodigo.bsky.social Acabo de ver vuestro vídeo de hace dos días, "Guerra Gaza - Israel, la primera guerra de la IA: la cara B de la IA". No dudo de vuestras buenas intenciones, pero a estas alturas, publicarlo así es inaceptable:

1. No es una guerra.
2. Es un GENOCIDIO. Decidlo 🙏🏽

And well, actually... everybody has ethics: everybody has a moral compass. Unfortunately, some are extremely broken and pointing to very dark and harmful directions...

Isidro López ❤️‍🩹🇵🇸 @islomar.bsky.social · 3d

Absolutely agree... and at the same, I wish the huge ethics issues we have in the industry could be solved with just a couple of classes for some people... 😓

Oracle employees who expressed support for Palestine were "referred to internal mental health resources."

Oracle is about to own TikTok.

Eli Clifton @eliclifton.com · 5d

Execs at Oracle, the likely new owner of TikTok, are VERY outspoken in Israeli media about the company's "mission to support the State of Israel" & "unequivocal support for Israel."

Insufficiently pro-Israel Oracle staff receive mental health counseling. responsiblestatecraft.org/oracle-tikto...

Oracle execs: Love Israel or maybe this isn't the job for you

Employees who disagreed were reportedly referred to company mental health services

Many systems and complexity-informed thinkers become bogged down in selling complexity, uncertainty, systems thinking, and the like. Meanwhile, most people in an organization are looking for a solution and path forward, not a lecture about “the system”.

Great reading for the weekend: "TBM 381: Stop Trying To Make Prioritization 'Easy'" by @johncutle.fish cutlefish.substack.com/p/tbm-381-st...

One of the many insights and great reminders of the post: "Prioritization is a continuous dialogue"

TBM 381: Stop Trying To Make Prioritization "Easy"

Hot take: We want prioritization to be hard.

La Flotilla tenía varios objetivos: volver a ejercitar el músculo de la sociedad civil, poner el bloqueo ilegal de Israel en el centro del debate público internacional, sentar un precedente (el Mikeno llegó a aguas gazatíes) que inspire más acciones futuras.

Es un catalizador. Y está funcionando.
