The key point. It will be for the historians of the future, probably, to find any evidence of whether Trump is manipulated to do Putin's bidding. But we can all ask ourselves the question: *IF* he were working for Russia,what would he do differently to what he is doing now?

The problem with “just a bit” of AI or “ethical” AI is creative arts is that you start to erode, well, creativity and then you’re just splitting hairs on how much erosion. I won top prize in 2nd grade for my science fair project on erosion, I know this stuff!

Let's overanalyze this image, shall we? 1) The Doctor is a young person with spiky blue hair, running towards the "camera", wearing a puffer jacket, wielding a large sonic screwdriver like a torch. 2) He is holding the arm of a miserable-faced robot with a head/body formed from a toaster. /1

At a time when the most influential leaders of the U.S. need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, they are leading the charge in the opposite direction. But not Jack Smith. Kudos to him for continuing to be a much needed voice of clarity.

The brilliant Janet Ellis, President of Humanists UK, on discovering humanism and the global community that comes with it. Find Janet's #HumanistBookshelf recommendations on our website! Link in bio.
‘Humanism is important for me because it puts a name to the beliefs and values that so many non-religious people like me already have. It gives those values a proper place in our society and in our lives. It’s not just me saying ‘I think this’. In fact, I’m part of a community of like-minded people with similar ideas, approaches, and moral convictions. And we’re so much stronger when we come together.’

I’m so tired of people saying that AI can be useful. So was asbestos. And lead. I don’t expect to halt the use of AI but I do wish we could just say “there are harms and we don’t know enough to call it safe or exciting”. And we definitely shouldn’t let it be used in schools.

I seem to be attracting a lot of female attention on Threads lately, of a very specific type. (I took this snip last night before blocking. I have three more this morning.)

This is fair. But what you have to do is give people the chance to vote for more than two options, without sacrificing the ability to say "ok, so you didn't all go for my idea of getting candy floss, but I'd rather go get ice cream than drive off a cliff".

For years, Telegraph columnists told us climate breakdown is a hoax. Now they say: it's real, but it's too late to do anything about it, so let the bodies pile high (again). Just one long list of excuses not to reduce fossil fuel use. Such newspapers bear as much responsibility as the oil firms.

This is a disturbing but excellent piece by @emmavj.bsky.social on how smart tech is being used by perpetrators to gaslight and conduct psychological abuse. Good on the FT for running it on the front page of their ‘House and Home’ supplement www.ft.com/content/8a42...
Timings on the clock are altered so school pick-ups and appointments are missed, making that person appear unreliable, unable to trust even themself. Electricity controls can be tweaked so household
appliances and lights turn off. The television can be switched on at full blast to disrupt sleep. One woman describes remote tampering with the boiler and heating, making the space feel uncomfortable, unlivable even. Another tells of a partner eavesdropping over smart speakers after an occupation order forced him to leave the home and cease contact. The people sharing their stories don't want to reveal their real
names to protect their safety.

The thing is, what Americans are swiftly facing is *worse* than "state TV". Properly set up, a state TV can be carefully scrutinized for bias and answerable to citizens, eg the BBC. What's happening in the USA is unaccountable private orgs enlisted via corruption in support of a political project.

The swastika carved into a car on the Upper East Side is a despicable act of antisemitism. It is a hateful attack of intimidation on our Jewish neighbors and on the values that make our city what it is.

I have full confidence the NYPD, which is investigating this as a hate crime, will do everything to ensure those responsible are held accountable. 

To every Jewish New Yorker: your city stands with you. We will confront acts of antisemitism wherever they appear with urgency and without exception.

They’re choosing to let Social Security weaken rather than lift the payroll tax cap and require the wealthiest Americans to contribute at the same rate as everyone else. Social Security becoming insolvent isn’t inevitable. It’s a policy choice. Time to wake up America. Many will die without this.

Nothing I have seen since shakes my conviction that you can probably mark the moment the UK skipped the rails as the day Cameron took the Tories out of the EPP. It was the moment the UK centre right stopped saying no to the headbangers and crossed the firewall. From then, it was only going one way.
