Someone said AI will get "exponentially better". They've got it backwards. AI isn't an "exponential growth" field. It's a field where the computational requirements must increase exponentially to deliver a LINEAR increment in ability. It's not sustainable in its current form.

Even for those who currently have no medical vulnerabilities, or who don’t mask regularly, wearing a mask should be as simple as using an umbrella when it rains or a bandage when you’re bleeding. You can protect yourself from flu season or smoke, or others from your cold. Easy, practical, courteous.

This is fascinating stuff. The TL;DR is that pH massively affects the longevity of viruses in the air and the CO2 we breathe out makes the air more cozy for viruses. Therefore, poor ventilation is bad both for keeping viruses in the air and significantly extending their lifespan in that air! 🧪🦠

The fact that everybody is taking it as given is probably the most searing indictment of what's left of the US political system. If the country had a soul to save, every republican would demand Trump withdraw.

If you own a Tesla, your car is covered in cameras that take images reviewed by Tesla employees, who share them with each other, joke about them, and make them into memes.

Once you've "made it", keep the network going. And give back. Give back to the nonprofit that lifted you up. Stay in touch with the people who helped you out. Pay it forward to another person in need. Don't just disappear once you've "got yours." Everything is temporary.

the fact that we saw the largest vaccine rollout in history, like 10 billion doses administered, there were almost no serious side effects, and the result was a large increase in anti-vaccine paranoia is proof of the power of propaganda

The term "Luddite" as a pejorative synonym for "technophobe" was a technocrat PR coup; that's not what Luddites were about. They were a labour movement fighting to give workers control over technologies which were advancing w/o oversight and rapidly automating them out of their jobs. Sound familiar?

Officially 6 months since gender Self ID came into force in New Zealand, and not a SINGLE issue has arisen from it.
Not ONE.
We were promised a wave of men invading women’s spaces, record numbers of rape, women too scared to leave home.
All of it theatre for bigotry.
