The beauty of this for bosses is that AI doesn't even need to be good enough to actually replace you. All they need is the threat that it could replace you just over the horizon. That's the three years. Better not ask for a higher salary since AI *could* replace you.

Currently, a diagram is making the rounds that is claimed to show a significant reduction in Russian disinformation bot activity after Ukrainian drones hit Yandex data centers. There is no evidence that this plot shows real data. I suspect that this image is AI-generated.

Hi. Stop posting, reposting AI images and videos. We can't bark about the data centers whilst (isn't that a great word?) needlessly posting AI videos of Hegseth in a rainbow unitard. I get it, it's funny, but there's enough real life pics of him being a moron w/out supporting AI. My 2 cents.

Jews are indigenous to Israel. Zionism is a successful land-back movement of an indigenous people. Israel was decolonized in 1948 when Jews restored sovereignty over their ancestral homeland after 2,000 years of colonization and ethnic cleansing by foreign empires.

I admit I was wrong here. ICE allows chains on kids as young as 12 👀 "If it is necessary to restrain a minor, always consider size, age, gender, and cognitive ability when considering the type of approved restraints to apply. Minors under 12 years of age will never be placed in full restraints."

If you were inventing "selling nonfiction books" from scratch, you would 1) put out paperbacks first, 2) price them as cheaply as possible, and 3) do heavy, ongoing online and in person promotions closely tailored to a writer's specific audience. Big publishers typically do none of these things.

The changes extended beyond numbers. Fewer cars meant a more pleasant environment for walking and cycling, as well as an improvement in air quality. The reallocation of public space helped reinforce a broader ambition to make the city a place to pass time, rather than simply a place to pass through.

In 2016, Leuven made a bold decision: instead of trying to accommodate ever-increasing car traffic, it would change the rules of the road entirely. A decade later, the Dutch-inspired traffic circulation plan has drastically improved the city’s accessibility, liveability and quality of public space.🧵
