Whereas it seems the response to AI is to lose as much of our humanity as possible to compete with it. To cut funding for the humanities and the introspection of how we relate to each other.

You know what's funny? In "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" when humans faced existential threat from synthetic humanoids - who were by all accounts, smarter, stronger, and faster - they leaned INTO their humanity, hence the exaltation of empathy.

Why would we want to learn from our pasts, or ponder the power of the written and spoken word, or explore the deep questions of humanity? According to the University of Hertfordshire, we wouldn't. They've just cut all of our undergrad Humanities programmes

I'm not a lawyer, but without any legal challenge (e.g. Pete Hegseth blocking promotions based on race and gender), what's legally enforceable is a little irrelevant. We've also seen actions such as deportations of citizens, which were deemed illegal go ahead anyway.

Four Army officers were on track to become one-star generals, NPR confirms. Defense secretary Pete Hegseth's involvement in the promotion process is highly unusual.

'Huge' underestimations in the UK regarding carbon impacts of AI data centers. Will folks wake up to the reality that AI not only robs creative people of jobs and diminishes the vitality of our kids' reading and learning, but also exacerbates the #climate crisis? #AI #AIdatacenters #environment

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

I can't believe the video I watched today. But also, given the way the government is spinning the news and investing in controlling social media, Europe really needs to invest in its web infrastructure and developing social media. Think about how much of the web relies on Cloudflare and AWS.

One of the reasons why Elon Musk and other folks on the right want to shut down Wikipedia (or "compete" with it). It's a good platform for regular folks to accumulate data, even keep track of all of this administration's atrocities in real time. Great work

If you feel stuck, it’s usually not because you lack answers. It’s because you haven’t written down the right questions yet. Writing questions is underrated product work. It turns uncertainty into something you can actually move. Clarity isn’t found. It’s drafted.

Designing a card game similar to Pokemon, but for kids to “collect” cards if they eat fruit or veggies and then you can battle your cards. I’m not sure if this is the dietician approved way, but the idea is to put new foods on my picky eaters radar in an opt-in, low pressure way.

I worry that we are getting ever more isolated by being trained to regard the act of thinking, taking in information and communicating as inconvenient chores, over getting shallow, quick wins. And they will be shallow, because the test of ideas is that they survive a little pushback.

In a similar way, the very rapid productivity effects of Ai has a similar effect on communication. The "expected user experience" of giving an output is to be rewarded with a result. Not to discuss, take in information, collaborate, ideate together, listen etc. 2/3

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.
