When did it become so normalised to describe often far right thugs attacking people as "scuffles" but make out anyone just trying to seek safety is a threat to national security?

DAIR's @dylnbkr.bsky.social weighed in on the mythical "kill switch" for @scientificamerican.bsky.social. Mitigating the harms of AI, as with any industry or technology, will instead require robust external regulation and safeguards. www.scientificamerican.com/article/what...

black text on a white background, reads: Dylan Baker, a research engineer at the Distributed AI Research Institute, goes further: the switch metaphor itself is the problem. “There’s such a complex ecosystem and web of interconnected technologies that we’re talking about that boiling this down to a single kill switch or ‘slowdown’ is reductive,” they say.

This is a cool way to support the amazing RNLI. They're called "Betty's 5p pots". You can pick them up at RNLI shops (or you can use a jar of your own!) You collect your 5p's in it & when it's full, you drop it into them and they replace it with a new pot. Just thought i'd mention it.

A small jam jar, with a Lifeboats sticker on the lid. Next to it is two 5p pieces.

What I love about that six word Hemingway story, "For sale: baby shoes, never worn" is that in those few words we instantly grasp the sadness of what it is trying to tell us: the baby was so freakishly massive when it was born that it could never wear the shoes its parents had bought for it.
