Don’t compromise, Jo. AI won’t reach its full potential under the current Big Tech regime, plus no meaningful regulation & unchecked political influence. The issue isn’t just how AI is used, but who controls it and for what gain. It’s bad news all along. Yeah. it clears your data, but at what cost?

The other side is, of course - of course! - the companies making LLMs are not doing so with the goal of more easily sharing the material that people have made freely available on the web. They are doing so with the goal of enclosing it - converting the products of free human activity to commodities.

Join our next Visual Assembly to collectively imagine, plan and draw cities of the future.

“Tony Blair will bring peace to Palestine” claims rep.

I'm starting to think we need to bring back a constructive form of shame, which @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social makes a great case for in this excellent piece:

An excerpt from Stephen Frosh's new book, How to be Real - out today

It shows more details about the books/papers you add, and allow you to read some of docs there. I’m still getting used to it.. so not I’m aware of all changes.

The changes in portion sizes, whether eating out or buying from supermarkets, are insane. It’s outrageous how much smaller things have gotten. Is there any regulation around this? @harrywallop.co.uk

Instead of judging individuals by what they contribute to society, why not judge society by what it contributes to individuals? Like, y'know, civilized people would.

Danke Berlin!

Meat is a leading emissions source – but few outlets report on it, analysis finds Sentient Media reveals less than 4% of climate news stories mention animal agriculture as source of carbon emissions

“It is increasingly indefensible for news coverage of climate change not to make it clear that this crisis is driven by very specific human activities – primarily burning fossil fuels. And in second place is food, agriculture, forestry.”

Thank you! Will certainly add to me syllabus. :)

Enjoying the new @zotero.org a lot!

Mainstream economics continues to rely on Newtonian mathematics — using calculus to optimise, subject to constraints, an approach not suited to understanding macroeconomics or human behavior.
