Good point.

The blessings of AI. 😖🙄

Once again, the White House, Musk and the Kremlin all in lock-step that Ukraine must be destroyed.

I love medieval towns. My nearest is Elsinore, best known for ‘Hamlet’s castle’, the latest version of which is renaissance. My favourite place is the cloister of a late medieval Carmelite monastery - and the death-to-high-heels narrow old lane and its half-timbered walls.

"Whereas the AI users got answers wrong or gave up entirely when the AI assistance was withdrawn, the group without AI stuck with the task and were more successful at the end."

The techno-dystopia I actually fear is a future where most people think truth is whatever Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or Grok say, and the very small number of people who control those systems use that to manipulate for their own ends, making our current epistemic crisis seem small in comparison.

It's strange how Democratic Socialists - who are being denounced by both parties - turned major deficits into balanced budgets in both New York and Seattle.

My whole career the Humanities seem to have been curled up in a defensive crouch trying to justify our meaning/existence. At times it has even seemed a productive thought exercise, but I think generally whatever body has demanded the justification is not really open to being persuaded of anything.

Great. I need to support wikipedia more.

The Middle Ages as seen on 21st century film. Nordic Noir lighting, if any, and more dirt than in a pig’s mud pool.

NEW: For decades, Idaho laws have allowed parents who belong to the Followers of Christ and other faith-healing sects to pray rather than seek medical treatment as their children die. At least five sets of parents have lost multiple children.

If the law explicitly says X, and you claim the law says X while I claim the law says Y, then you’re right and I’m wrong. But the current standard in the US is that if the law says X but Republicans feel Y, everyone must pretend the law says Y, or at least that Y is a reasonable interpretation.

TODAY IN 2024: “Their deliberations led them to a unanimous conclusion, beyond a reasonable doubt: That the defendant, Donald J. Trump, is guilty of 34 counts of Falsifying Business Records in the First Degree, to conceal a scheme to corrupt the 2016 election.” manhattanda.org/d-a-bragg-de...

Hope this becomes available to all of us. Pancreatic cancer is a killer.

Just imagine the level of criminality that compels a President who was already personally granted full immunity by Supreme Court for anything related to 'official acts' to think that's not enough, he must *also* have his DOJ release all civil claims against him, two of his kids, and his company.

An American president sues/extorts his own government, then settles with his own justice department to funnel money to his criminal allies. He will go down in history as the president who came up with forms of corruption never contemplated before.

My irregular reminder. #NeverForget

Muslims don't deserve to be randomly killed because of Hamas actions. Jews don't deserve to be randomly killed because of Israeli govt actions. And the extent to which their communities speak out doesn’t justify violence against them. It's disturbing that I'm having to repeatedly explain that.

Mindes fru Dybkjær, som i en tale om fremtiden ved et nytårsmøde i IBM slut i 90erne forudsagde netop dette. Vi havde muligheden for at gøre noget. Vi gjorde intet. Det blev bare første store konsekvens af klimaændringer og menneskers misbrug af naturen.

Brilliant!

Louisiana now makes it a crime for police to refuse ICE cooperation. Florida created a board to punish officials who don't comply with ICE. Texas forced nearly all sheriffs to become immigration enforcers. And the crackdown on resisting ICE is spreading.

Yes, please.

Reading Was Never Meant to Compete "Reading was never supposed to compete. It is not a faster, quieter version of TikTok. It is not trying to win your attention the way an algorithm does. Reading is its own thing entirely."

They’re not wrong.

Så eksistentielt vigtigt. Og ingen taler om det.
