Gender-balanced WHOMSVT? I already know whose prorities gets to be heard
Is this the first AI war?
Artificial intelligence isn't just helping you figure out what to make for dinner. It's deciding who lives and who dies.

'...as this excellent piece by the Citizens sums it up:
“The same logic that built recommendation engines and social media algorithms is now being applied to the industrial generation of kill lists." '
oh good i was worried it was white supremacy and capitalism
“The [Copenhagen] modal split in 1970 was about 10% biking. But then we got the oil crisis…So that was the changing point and now there’s more than a 30% bike modal split.”
We can change our cities. Because of the high price of gas, or just because it’s clearly the smart thing to do. #UrbanTruth
"...flooding the market with cheap, algorithm-assisted content doesn't raise all boats; it crashes the floor. When "good enough" content is free and instantaneous, it pushes professional-grade work out because AI-generated scripts and designs don't compete on quality; they compete on price."
Yes, Timothee Chalamet is having a douchebag moment. But I wont be able to take it if he got turned MAGA, sorta like Nicki Minaj grievance trajectory, when he's already dating a Jenner. Ya'boi is barely hanging there
“…disabled people are actually less likely to drive than nondisabled people and more likely to get around by walking and rolling and taking transit. Car-heavy cities are also disproportionately dangerous for disabled folks…”— @nondriver.bsky.social
Don’t use accessibility “as a political football.”

"AI increases productivity" but it's just everybody babysitting statistical autocomplete chatbots
We don’t talk enough about how morally depraved the tech industry turned out to be. Every single ounce of their self-regarding statements of values was an outright lie.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM
This is the kind of critical AI literacy practice that I'd like to see make its way into schools. It's not about how to best use this or that product; it's about mapping systems of power.
We went from making up reasons like "weapons of mass destruction" to you know what, fuck it we don't need to even lie, the president "had a feeling" that they pose a threat so we just bomb them so we can. A country doing this can't expect peace inside.
Snapped this photo of a bike in Kyoto, and subsconsciously ginaya ko pala (2nd pic is of mine). Now the only remaining thing is figuring out how to live beside a beautiful river like the Kamogawa
Polymarket to allow bets on the name of the new terrorist organization spawned by the war in Iran.
Queer Love, queer joy 🤝 Public Transit
No one has brought up yet that the Boyfriend S2 brought us a good show and solid storytelling without (minimal?) use of the private car.
Public / mass transit was the star in this show

AI BOOSTER BINGO The squares read: I might get attacked for saying this Imagine what it'll do in 5 years Al critics are just afraid Al is better than you Everyone is doing it "Levels the playing Field" Your time will be spent on work that MATTERS Your time will be spent correcting the Al's errors MORE VOLUME!! Shit outputs? Switch to [alternate LLM] Yes jobs will be cut... Humans aren't perfect either It's FUN!!! No practical advice "Sorry bluesky" Solution to chronic underfunding What if it could cure cancer??? I made something that appears passable No need for pesky underlings Is it accurate? No. But... Framing human work as "bespoke, hand-crafted" Get with it or get left behind!!!

What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.

A US-Israeli strike on an elementary school in Minab reportedly killed at least 165 – mostly young girls who were only trying to learn, writes Fatima Bhutto for Zeteo:

"Epstein has given us an extraordinary portal through which we can now see how hostile state influence, criminality and the impunity of the billionaire class are intimately enmeshed."

"As I documented in detail in my book Limitarianism: The Case Against Extreme Wealth, economic inequality is also about the increase in social, ecological and political damage caused by billionaires and centimillionaires."
