Elena, a nurse, signs up for a shift at a base rate of $35/hour. The next day it's $33/hour. There's no explanation, no one to ask why. AI Now's @katiejwells.bsky.social & @veenadubal.bsky.social tell Elena's story, showing how algorithmic wages & prices are reshaping our lives: bit.ly/46Qp4kR

In the second part of his monumental essay, Magdi El-Gizouli shatters the story that Sudan’s civil war is a lawless free-for-all and instead reveals how it is the direct result of the country’s integration into the global capitalist order. www.equator.org/articles/sud...

Extreme drought, raging fires, "Make America Great Again" Christian nationalism, privatization of "near space programs dealing with communications". If, like me, you hadn't read Parable of the Sower (1993) & Parable of the Talents (1998) before – there's never been a better time.

As a neuroscientist, I’d suggest there is a profound disconnect between what *some* computer scientists think is representative of “intelligence”, cognitive ability, or descriptions of consciousness from some in AI work. LLMs are not how neural systems process information, nor how brains function.

This whole section really.
Finally: AI cannot do your job, but an AI salesman can 100% convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI that can't do your job, and when the bubble bursts, the money-hemorrhaging "foundation models" will be shut off and we'll lose the AI that can't do your job, and you will be long gone, retrained or retired or "discouraged" and out of the labor market, and no one will do your job.
AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations:

If you work for the Labour Party and have just enough of a human soul left in you to be embarrassed by this then you should simply quit your job and state publicly your reasons for doing so rather than engaging in anonymous but salaried whinging about how people - rightly! - do not like you anymore
HuffPost UK has heard from multiple Labour employees so unhappy with the way the last year has panned out, they cringe at being associated with the party. 
One said: “It’s embarrassing when I tell people who I work for now.
“A year ago – after the election – I was happy to tell everyone about my job, my friends were all for it.
“Now it’s different. You mention Labour and everyone recoils and says, ‘Why?’”
