love that Fitbit are now marketing old-fashioned screen free devices as some sort of upgrade: "While smaller, lighter and more discreet than any previous Fitbit, the biggest difference between the Google Fitbit Air and other Fitbit trackers is that there’s no screen."

Can AI be given a conscience?
Anthropic has tried to give Claude a moral compass, acknowledging that soon, AI may make more decisions on our behalf. So whose idea of right and wrong will be guiding those decisions?

Good morning Bluesky ☀️  Have you noticed how farmers are now opting for much smaller breeds of cows? The savings on cattle feed must be tremendous ...
A field with a few cows way off in the background. The cow in the foreground looks tiny and appears to be standing on a post - a trick of the eye.

One downside of being a New Yorker reader is having to read about all the fabulous art and dance and theatre I can’t go to. Normally I read them out of order which helps as events are over, but gee I’d like to go to the Pollock retro, and the over-40s dancers interpreting Sinead O’Connor this yr.
