I feel like this pitch is more menacing than they intended -
You can call these videos Iranian propaganda as much as you want, but mixed with a small amount of propaganda is a large amt of truth, suspicion & questions the American public deserve answers to.@PattyHanson
It wasn't that long ago you'd expect something like that from a US satirist. -
Almost a year ago, I was described in the FT as "a Cassandra with a wry grin and twinkling eye", and was entertained becaus Cassandra (famously) was right.@emilymbender
I really did not want to read that AI generated text had already made its way into Brutish legislation.I'm not surprised, the algorithm has been King for a while.
But I am disappointed.

The terrible irony of Donald Trump saying that a civilization will end, is that he’s absolutely correct@GhostOnTheHalfShell
I feel a lot more hope reading this, than reading the folk calling in the politicians to ensure never again.Thank you for being a light in the darkness.

A picture of Margaret Hamilton, programmer for the Apollo space program, standing next to not one single microsoft error message or bluetooth problem.@mhoye
I did not know that. On the other hand, in her time engineer was probably appropriate, and her code will have been written in a context that was taking responsibility for actual lives, unlike so many who call themselves by that title today. -

I’m going to have to sit with it for a bit.
It’s not that I was unfamiliar with the context. Practically anywhere you care to look there are women whose work has been ignored, hidden or stolen. Women who’ve not been given the credit they deserved, or very quickly been dropped.
I mean, I really would like to know why I never learned about Emmy Noether in school, right next to Albert Einstein, even though he recognised her genius.
Cryptogyny. Use it when you need to.

Trump has announced that Tuesday morning, The United States will commit multiple war crimes by extensively bombing civilian infrastructure in Iran.@randahl
That symbolises the Wild West and concomitant earlier genocides, yes? -
Is it possible that Microsoft Windows is not a very good computer program@mcc all things are possible, I suppose, in an infinite universe. 3.11 might have been OK, and there were rumours of POSIX compliance in one of the early NT based versions, though which one escapes me, just at the moment.

It seems some bastard is building an app that scrapes your Mastodon feed and uses an LLM to summarise posts every hour, and I feel I could do that for free and without the massive resource costs and privacy violations?@TheBreadmonkey @afewbugs @SaguaroLynx I didn’t get the Ben reference, either, I’d clearly missed that toot, but I vaguely remembered the story from somewhere, I’m just not sure from which millennium.

I was today years old when I found out LinkedIn has a chronological timeline mode*, and why LinkedIn recommends against enabling it in the settings.@anderseknert I abandoned LI in the before times, but I think I recall similar experiences, both with the declutterring and the warnings of thou shalt not pass.

Cis people sometimes demand #trans people rigourously define what "gender" means and explain what drives us to embody a gender other than the one assigned to us at birth.@Tattie The problem is that the concept of gender is so entirely arbitrary, that they need rigid boundaries to keep it in place. So much so that they will ignore the science of sex, just so as not to hurt their illusions.
It was the same with animal sexuality.

Are social networks unhealthy for minors?@evan No, but.
Social networkds are necessary for humans, and that is precisely what makes the abuse of "social networks" by bad actors all levels from local bully to megacorporation so pernicious.
