“the only way to get to the truth is by speaking to one another” no it’s research, you’re thinking of research, that’s why you don’t get given a medical degree for debating whether bones exist

I'm sharing this here, as I have on Facebook and Instagram, but there's no account on here to share from, and I just think this is wonderful.
A really good balance of design and implementation, and appears to achieve everything it set out to do, and it *SO* appeals to my inner 'work nerd'.

when a poor person uses food stamps for a steak or homeless person spends $5 on a beer, it’s seen as proof that all poor people are so bad with money that they shouldn’t be given any, ever, for any reason. $77 billion out the window, and zuck’s legacy as a safe government contract bet is secure.

Just need to be clear that the US Air Force almost caused a major commercial flight catastrophe because they are flying over Venezuela with transponders off
NOT GOOD 🫠
‘the air traffic controller noted not seeing the military aircraft on their end, as it had the transponder off and was not transmitting its location.
“We almost had a midair collision up here,” the pilot said, according to ATC recordings. "They passed directly in our flight path ..."’

The thing about AI that techboys don’t seem to grasp is that the reason everyone hates it is the same reason they love it: it doesn’t create anything new, it doesn’t give a sense of achievement, it just tries to please you and make you feel important, but it’s noticeably artificial and lacks warmth

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

One of the bleakest things about living in the UK right now is that the country is full of people who, if their community is given something nice, will just destroy it for no reason. I really don’t know how you fix that.
