Someone on here compared AI produced material as "digital asbestos " which in a few decades' time we will have to work out how to eradicate from the fabric of research.

Yo lo empecé hace poco y me encanta.

Por cierto, no fue el único: Marie Curie recibió premios Nobel en física y química.

UK Labour doing its best to replicate the US Democrats' success in moving the country to the right and consigning themselves to irrelevance.

La mejor frase que he escuchado hoy: «No son genios, solo son millonarios».

Imaginad lo que lograría un verdadero genio con los recursos de esos tecnolerdos egotistas.

Is it right to assume that bluesky are prejidiced? An alternative explanation that occurs to me for the simple reason that I've seen this kind of thing before is an organised bombardment of complaints, alleging antisemitism or whatever, from a large number of individual accounts.

Maybe put out a call for unpaid volunteer slush pile readers on a trial basis? You'll be able to figure out which one is in tune with the themes and style of the magazine. I think there are many people (like myself) who would like to gain experience of the process and would volunteer.

US government report cited non-existent sources, academics say Authors of several studies cited in the report told news outlets they did not write them and the studies did not exist.

Trump’s attempt at Oval Office ‘gotcha’ moment backfired spectacularly ANALYSIS: Armed with printouts of tabloid news articles and a montage of video clips, Trump launched into a meandering explanation of the current political situation in South Africa to its president C...

Trump enjoys starring in his bits of theatre. He has the backing of half of the people of the USA. Should we in the West still respect the USA? Should we vote for governments who continue to follow the lead of the American government?

Providing protection from harmful extremists like human rights activists.

Doctors condemn Supreme Court ruling on trans women as ‘scientifically illiterate’ The resident doctors’ wing of the BMA argued that a binary divide between sex and gender ‘has no basis in science or medicine while being actively harmful to transgender and gender-diverse people’

!!! Wetherspoons, of brexiteering fame, not exactly an icon of liberalism, and yet they live in the 21st century unlike our government.

Image shows protesters walking the streets of London holding a banner reading "No British Arms for South Africa", text below reads "we need to carry the momentum of the South African anti-apartheid movement to Palestinians and other communities still living under apartheid today"

In a movement that swept the world, communities mobilised and protested against apartheid, including people in Britain.

We’re seeing the same resistance rise across cities in the UK today.

Apartheid is, was and will always be a crime against humanity.

Most South Africans, of all colours, are happy to get rid of a few racists who feel oppressed.

Does it ever occur to folks calling for an encryption backdoor that it could be used in the future, to spy back on them?

That's what i see too (in the UK).

Soy anglófono pero eso siempre me cuesta, sabiendo que no tengo ni idea de grados de formalidad y que suelo expresarme (¡sin querer!) en plan bicho raro; a veces recurro a Google... 🫣
Sin embargo creo que hace unos años que los emails entre profesionales en inglés son cada vez más informales.

"The Labour Party under Keir Starmer will abandon its core idealism and principles and it won't even gain tactical advantage. It will be a party which gives no one a reason to vote for it, and then no one will, in fact, vote for it." . - David Graeber

Some polls putting Labour on as low as 21% and set-to drop further. David Graeber was right.

Pues, en teoría, ni la sentencia que elimina derechos a las personas trans e intersex británicas, ni la ley que va a consagrar la discriminación legalizada que prepara Stamer, tiene nada que ver con las demandas del gobierno Trump…
Pero !!!qué casualidad!!!

Y Hungría?
