🚨 Registration to be a mentor in 2027 is NOW OPEN! 🚨 Success in arts and culture isn't determined by talent & intelligence alone. It's shaped by who has access to opportunities, resources & the 'right' connections - could you be that 'right' connection for an under-resourced young person?

How the jobs figures pan out. Net zero: massive new employment. Return to fossil fuels: mass unemployment. Don't ever let these grifters persuade you they have your interests at heart. They dance to the tune of their funders. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Yeah I just rent GPUs on Modal. I spun up a cluster on Render. Do you run inference on Salad? You can pay per minute on Vast. I do my training on Berry. They have consumer-grade cards on Spoon. Compute is rather cheap on Innocent. Startups get free credits on Flimsy. I have a discount code for Moon

“Truth—remember when that mattered? Try, if you can, to recall the newspaper in your hand, the bleeding ink on your fingers, the weight of it, as physically dense as the words impactful. Truth was once something you could run your hand over.”

The internet is lying to you about politics
Political ads on TV are subject to strict guidelines – but on social media, the rules are weak to the point of dysfunction. Add AI into the mix, and things begin to look downright sinister. It’s time ...

Thrilled to see Dan @makeitdoathing.com has finally opened the glitchwear.store store for his one-of-a-kind, computationally generated, buyer-customized knitwear. I'm delighted to confirm that these are gorgeous and comfortable garments, too.

as a girl with a PhD in natural language processing and machine learning it's actually offensive to me when you say "we don't know how LLMs work so they might be conscious" I didn't spend 10 years in mines of academia to be told ignorance is morally equal knowledge. We know exactly how LLMs work.

A grassroots movement like Arts Emergency rarely lasts or grows as we have.Our work changes lives, but we rely on monthly donations.Those donations are down £50k since 2021. We've cut all we can, now we're appealing to you for £2/month to plug the gap & go on www.arts-emergency.org/donate%F0%9F...

£2 may not seem a huge amount to some, but I promise you it underwrites the most established independent youth service in UK culture, enabling all kinds of wonderful outcomes and opportunities☀️
