Jon Wood @jonwood.bsky.social · 25/09/2026One of the exhausting things about the current climate is when the weird conspiracies about how Facebook terms are so they can take your niece’s birthday party photos and turn them into coffee table books for public sale or something turn out to be true. 000
Jon Wood @jonwood.bsky.social · 20/09/2026The infuriating thing about these headlines now is that “AI” has lost all meaning. Is this a machine learning model trained specifically to flag potential airspace conflicts before they become a problem (good, eases controller load) or an LLM set loose to respond to ATC calls without enough context? 000

Jon Wood @jonwood.bsky.social · 10/09/2026We should have a systemic nationwide campaign of making it socially unacceptable to ride bikes (motorised or otherwise) on pavements. Anytime we see a grown adult who's too scared to ride their bike on an empty residential road with a 20mph speed limit, heckle them for a being a massive coward. 110

Jon Wood @jonwood.bsky.social · 01/09/2026My proposal - any company that employs people for little enough money those employees need social benefits gets taxed 2x the amount employees are eligible for (not what they claim, because then they’d just strong arm employees into not claiming). 220
