now that we have "AI" in the present, these so-called safety experts are still stuck on coming up with hypothetical future problems. if you asked any of them to talk about current day AI safety issues like fraud or sex abuse or wealth concentration, they just hit you with the fluoride stare

before the whole AI boom the past few years, the only thing "AI safety experts" did was sit around coming up with hypothetical things an out of control AI might do if anyone figures out how to build it (1/2) 🧵

How would men would feel if they were the 99% depicted in nonconsensual & pornographic AI deepfakes? Or if male-dominated occupations were 2x as likely to be affected by gen AI. Women's concerns about AI aren't fear of tech but a response to unequal risks. www.fastcompany.com/91584377/wom...

Is there a single example of a country that solved its declining population with reactionary conservatism?

Thank you to all the women and allies who are still signing our letter, sharing our articles, commenting on our posts or donating to our campaign. This is a groundswell of love for the trans+ community and a way to unite women around the real issues that harm us 🙏 www.gofundme.com/f/notinourna...

It’s kind of obvious in retrospect, but this show thought me what the difference between privilege and power is.

❌ Last year, the Food & Drink Federation reported that UK food and drink exports to the EU had fallen by 34 per cent since Brexit, and in May this year, research from indicated that by November 2026 retail food prices in the UK will have risen by 50 per cent since 2021.

Just stopping to say Dolly Parton was an amazing human being and we should all aspire to be like her. She will be missed and remembered with love. RIP

All this AI and they somehow made autocomplete worse.

NEW VIDEO, NOW ON YOUTUBE: To celebrate Pride Month and my birthday, I decided to finally take a look at Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury and make a video on it in the hopes of getting others obsessed with it as well. Check it out! youtu.be/q7NJArg9sjc

The male-normed workplace wants people-pleasing women who is say yes to everything that is asked and don't push back, even if there’s a personal cost and no opportunity for reward or promotion. www.fastcompany.com/91593078/the...

The only thing we’ll achieve as a society by allowing more drilling is buying new yachts for oil executives.

Waste management is no joke and unless it’s properly done and accounts for the heating climate this will get worse. We need proper solutions on a local level, especially when some of those facilities are in densely populated areas.

“Real man smoke Lucky Strike, it’s not just a cigarette—it’s a way of life recommended by many doctors! AI may make mistakes, always independently verify its output, you sexy beast.”

One fire is an accident, two fires at the same facility within two months are mismanagement. @lewisham.gov.uk @liamshrivastava.bsky.social @zackpolanski.bsky.social Maybe it’s time to take the facility into public hands, or close it down?

I’m sure some British newsies have this article ready to print…

For once I agree with Reform. I would be happy to see long-term benefit recipients like oil executives, city bankers, and tax dodgers clean the streets

First hosepipe ban in Wessex since 1976… drill baby drill

Bluesky yesterday and tomorrow - why are so many people so stupid? Bluesky today - why does the government have to send an alert to people telling them not to be stupid?

I don’t think there’s ever been a clearer example of the British media bullying someone, who was so clearly vulnerable, to death so shamelessly in my lifetime for engagement and clicks And now we’ll have to watch the people that did it claim they’re shocked, and horrified Revolting

Surprise! Many micro tasks! #comicsky #webcomic #taskmanagement

Whether it is Meta AI glasses used to harass & covertly film women, Apple AirTags used to track women, Meta algorithms that push sexist ads, Grok AI tools that nudify women's images, tech companies create harassment by design instead of privacy by design. www.irishtimes.com/technology/2...

Nigel Farage getting only 63% of the vote in Reform’s strongest seat in a joke election is quite remarkable. He barely improved his result from last election.

There is a funding crisis in heritage. Our General Secretary on Times Radio as Prospect members at the Royal Museums Greenwich take their second day of strike action, including members at the Royal Observatory on the day of the solar eclipse.

An excellent piece.

We are on the verge of a climatic upheaval greater than any of us can imagine. Global leaders and media aren't paying attention. They are focused on a series of self-inflicted crises that have left us dangerously vulnerable and totally unprepared. My latest. charlieangus.substack.com/p/what-keeps...

"Care AI" may promise to decrease women's workload, but it may increase it by raising standards & expanding responsibilities. Because tech is laid over existing cultural beliefs & social relations, it rarely fixes social problems. @mariannecooper.bsky.social time.com/article/2026...

Listening to my generation talk about the 90s the way the previous generation talked about the 70s is tiresome. No that wasnt 'back when movies were good' or 'music still meant something'. There's loads of great shit coming out now and there was loads of slop back then. You just miss being young.

I can’t believe we’re still having a debate about whether there’s a trade off between job creation and measures to green the economy. There isn’t. The evidence was clear years ago - a green economy creates far more jobs than the fossil fuel economy it replaces. Come on Labour, catch up …

AI might save time in reviewing CVs, but it is eliminating women at a record speed. Many women over age 45, consider consulting or coaching. But we can't all be coaches & consultants. We need hiring practices to tap into our generation of resourceful women. www.thenewworld.co.uk/jamie-klingl...

Tradwives are a social media trend, not a real-life one. There is no evidence that young women are eager to drop careers and get back to the kitchen. Even in Utah, couples have fewer children and wait longer to have kids because the cost of living is so high. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/05/o...

Study (N=4,128 over 28 years) finds men w/ childhood ADHD and high cognitive ability entered entrepreneurship at 3x the typical rate. Women w/ ADHD entered at the lowest rate of any group studied, and high cognitive ability did not improve their odds. www.psypost.org/the-adhd-adv...

Can someone please explain to me how will more drilling alleviate people’s struggles? We should demand more from politicians than empty words. Let me say it again, drilling for more oil will only make things more expensive and raise your taxes so you can hold the bag for the oil industry.

Everyone that’s raging against Net Zero is trying to con you into being the bagholder for the failing fossil fuels industry. Most of the profits there are made, keeping the wells open is more expensive, it will not make energy cheaper, you will just subsidise someone’s yacht.

We should drill more oil though…

Major wildfires continue in parts of Europe🔥 Satellite imagery shows widespread smoke across Portugal, Spain and near to Bordeaux. There's little prospect of any rain relief and the heat will even intensify for some, with temperatures of over 40°C possible in places📈

I'm absolutely devastated for colleagues at Jodrell Bank who found out this morning that funding for the UK's e-MERLIN radio telescope array will be terminated. This is a short-sighted move, to save a tiny fraction of the overall UK science budget. #SaveJodrellBank 🔭🧪 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

To every trans Londoner: this city is yours too. Today we celebrate London Trans+ Pride and reaffirm a simple truth: you should be free to live as yourself, without fear or prejudice. You are loved. You are wanted. You belong here.

Many companies offer “flexible work” but still expect real-time responsiveness across all working hours. Employees become burned out from constant availability. Instead, define core collaboration hours (e.g., 10 AM–3 PM) and true offline periods. hbr.org/2026/07/the-...

Is it just me or are Claude & ChatGPT just becoming an expensive text based frontend to the Internet? Also Gemini exists too, I guess

Commonwealth Bank of Australia cut >40 customer service positions last year & deployed an AI voice bot. It found that the technology buckled under the workload, generating a surge in call volume rather than reducing it. The bank reversed the cuts. qz.com/companies-re...

Heather Hender worked as an engineer for Nike from 2015-2020. A jury found that Nike discriminated against her by paying her less than male peers and promoting her more slowly. The jury awarded her $19K in economic damages (the max) & $15M in punitive damages. www.oregonlive.com/business/202...
