It’s been three years now since I theorised the AI project lowering expectations of the social contract, welfare, healthcare, etc. It’s still so wild seeing them say the quiet part out loud.

A sincere fuck you to all those who have pushed to replace customer service reps with chatbots. This is a prime example of people having to put up with an unappealable faulty GPS system: the app will only allow parking in the wrong area, blocking reduced mobility and disabled access to the pavement.

At worst, Jason Arday only did what white academia taught him. His disproportionate hounding and sentence only reflect the whiteness we still have to face every damned day of our lives. The truth is that the sentence is the same, whether you do everything wrong or you do everything right.

hm… so the panels were accepted with their original titles, and only later on someone complained about them? looks like more of an exercise in marketing and self-absolution by some stakeholders in conflict of interest, rather than genuine concern for rigorous definitions

In this particular picture, you can see the authorship appropriation by the three-coloured flame in the profile picture, designed by Almirante, a former high officer of the fascist government, turned leader of the Italian neofascist party MSI after WWII.

Post a photo you took with no context to bring some zen to the timeline.

In the show M Son of the Century there is a pretty explanatory scene in which Mussolini's sidekick, Rossi, receives from rich businessmen, scared of the socialist wind, a big bag of money. He then goes back to his office to shower Mussolini, politically isolated and desperate, with said money.

Replace “AI” with “overnight replacement of robust outstanding praxis with fragile AI solutions”, but yeah…

Pictured text reads: “The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from skill the ability to access wealth.”

I love when work lets me learn these beautiful facts. Abstract from Gunasti, K. and Chen, H., Double Relatives Bias: How Large Percentage of a Small Percentage Feels Bigger than a Small Percentage of a Large Percentage (2024). papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

We examine the concept of double relatives and demonstrate that larger percentages of smaller percentages are overestimated, while smaller percentages of larger percentages are underestimated. For example, 75% of 1% is perceived as larger than 0.75%, while the equivalent 1% of 75% is perceived as smaller than 0.75%.
