Pointing out that AI is 33% better at spotting cancer is missing the main point of the thread: that she doesn't trust the company not to misuse the data.

4 is 33% bigger than 3.

(33% better! Did AI write this??? 😁) The problem she's pointing at isn't specific to AI, it's that AI is enabling/exacerbating the worst tendencies of capitalism.

Graham Hancock is definitely part of the right-wing radicalisation funnel, my former friend (who has since gone full-on raving race science) tried to get me to read all of his books on the pyramids and other mysteries about 20 years ago

Every so often I'll look up and there's this huge crazy rock just like, hovering in the sky. Freaks me right out.

Every school should have solar panels installed.
Every classroom should have a circulating HEPA filter installed.

Two things I like: when small animals or babies walk on me, and listening to people vocalising drumming patterns.

Fantastic news David! I love your work but I've held off subscribing because I didn't want to pay money to Substack. If I subscribe now will it still go through their payment system, or should I wait until next week?

Anyway as a former teacher and a librarian and a parent of a kid with the learning disability, no amount of tinkering with junior readers is going to fix the literacy problem. PAY TEACHERS. INVEST IN EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION. INVEST IN PRENATAL AND POSTNATAL CARE.

I say that I'm shaking my head far more often online than I express disapproval by shaking my head out here in meatspace. Maybe if I get water in my ear?

My kids bought a pack of super sour freezer ice blocks and a couple of them stayed unfrozen after multiple days until I suddenly clicked what the problem was and tapped them on the wall. Noâne else was there to see it so I bought some more but they didn't get supercooled. 😒

Maybe it needs whatever the jelly equivalent of nucleation sites would be to trigger the puddingification.

Yeah, looking back over the episode list I think 6 is where it kicks up a notch.

Are you watching season 1 or 2? I feel like it took a while for S1 to get going. But it's worth it!

Is it because "be-xing" is one of those ambiguous constructions so you need the murdering part to clarify that the head in question was removed rather than applied? cf. Bejeweled

I hope Luxon doesn't pronounce "nuclear" like that in front of other world leaders.
