An interesting perspective considering Amazon has laid off 30,000 corporate employees in the past year as part of an AI efficiency push instead of giving workers 3-day workweeks because AI can do some of their work.

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

We used to call hypothetical thinking machines AI, but then conmen started calling the plagiarism machines AI so the hypothetical thinking machines had to be called AGI, now the conmen are calling the plagiarism machines AGI. I am starting to think the conmen may not be being entirely honest.

your brain processes sound and sight at different speeds. it resyncs them before handing it to the thinking bit. The "Horizon of Simultaneity" is when you're far enough from something that the diff in the speed light/sound naturally syncs the processing, reducing cognitive load. It's 15m from you.

There is a very high risk of wildfires nationally.

Even a small flame can rapidly develop into a major wildfire placing lives, homes, businesses and emergency responders at risk.
Follow official updates and report signs of fire immediately by calling 999. Search gov.uk/alerts for more information.

The doctor who claimed that vaccines cause autism lost his medical license for faking for the study. But his lies and the damage he did to public health persist long after his paper was pulled. This is why science communication is so difficult; all it takes is one grifter.

This is exactly why I cancelled Netflix and won't go back no matter how good a show looks - I have no interest in getting invested in a story that's guaranteed to be cancelled after two sessions at best.

I adore you Leon, Egyptologist here, they were built by a largely volunteer force (corvée labor) of 25,000. The builders were very well fed, paid in bread and beer, and received excellent medical care. There was no slavery whatsoever, it is a common misconception.
