What did @regimecpa.bsky.social know?
Some bosses say full-time, in-person work boosts productivity or collaboration. “Our new research reveals that the objection to any work from home is more likely to be driven by something else entirely: ego,” write Adam Grant, Marissa Shandell and Courtney Elliott.

Ah so LLMs operate like senior male academics. Who could have envisioned that technology trained on existing texts could operate in a fundamentally conservative nature
When utilized in literature review, LLMs consistently 1. fail to mention female authors in female-led literatures, 2. insist that men are more influential or more heavily cited when this is contradicted by objective citation counts, and 3. attribute women’s work to hallucinated male scholars.

NEW: A trove of internal records from Dialog, the secret society cofounded by Peter Thiel, was left exposed online. WIRED obtained a second cache of records that reveal who's really attending, how they're screened, and what personal details they were promised would stay private.

They removed CD/DVD drives from PCs. -Made physical media harder to buy and use. -Removed expandable storage from phones. -Pushed us into streaming subscriptions. -Made always-online normal. -Made unlimited internet necessary. -Slowly raised the price of everything. Ownership quietly became renting.

Working hard or hardly working....
When he was an MEP, Farage excused his absences on basis that it was an illegitimate government and that sovereignty should reside in Westminster. He's now an MP in Westminster And he's been absent for 77 Parliament votes in a row. www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/whe...

Groundhog Day. How utterly depressing that these dismal people get to fail us all over again. Big hand to the media for their starring role in this hellcycle of corruption, dishonesty and betrayal.
Members of the last government, Nadine Dorries and Nadhim Zahawi, are going on telly to tell us how mainstream politics have failed. Expect former home secretary Suella Braverman to pop up at any moment to tell us how the immigration policy of the last government failed.

A please @labouruk.bsky.social, stop saying that it's up to us to stop Reform. YOU could stop a Reform government in 2029, by introducing the proportional representation so many in the country have been clamouring for. The only way Farage can win is through our crazy first-past-the-post system.

Exactly
Nigel Farage had one big mission in his political career: to drag the UK out of the EU. 10 years on since the referendum, why doesn't he celebrate all the amazing Brexit achievements and opportunities? Why does nobody ever ask him how exactly Brexit improved the daily life of people across the UK?
