Swedish king Eric XIV's parade armour was made in Arbogain 1562 and decorated in Antwerp by goldsmith Elisaeus Libaerts. One detail of its magnificence, is certainly given by its sabaton's extreme flexibility. Original post

“In other words: generative AI is catnip to the men who miss female sycophants.” @katemanne.bsky.social is provocative and insightful, as ever, with this feminist approach to AI.

A Culture Hooked on Generative AI is a Culture that Misses Female Sycophants

And we have missed a central reason why AI is a feminist issue
