What bothers me about crypto is that it blew up only because you could get rich real fast. Nobody cares about all the other stuff...

🧵 A lot of people have been mystified by the sudden and incredible attacks Claudine Gay faced which led to her downfall.
As a former right-wing media entrepreneur who was part of the anti-Dan Rather blogger corps, there are a few things I think you should know.
This thread is a summary of the latest episode of my co-hosted podcast "So This Just Happened." You can get the full episode here: https://plus.flux.community/p/the-attacks-on-claudine-gay-werent

I can see why people like ChatGPT. I asked it “What would happen if I stuck my dick in the Large Hadron Collider?” and it gave me a very detailed and plausible sounding answer, whereas CERN didn’t even reply to my email.
Ovi bi uvodili novi predmet u škole za borbu protiv Turbo-folka. Kao srednjoškolski profesor sam počašćen da imaju toliko povjerenje u mogućnosti našeg sustava. Očito je Kak nam dobro ide sa redovnim predmetima pa Zakaj ne bi riješili i ovaj problemčić 🤓
Catch is that the only emissions that matter are the global ones. If net zero target is presented in an us vs. them way that leads nowhere. Well done EU, sure, but the problem is far from solved.
Just yesterday I read an African proverb- If you think you’re too small to make a difference, spend a night with a mosquito.

If you use Substack, move to another platform.
If you subscribe to something on it, pressure the authors to move to another platform. If they don’t, cancel your subscription.
Substack refuses to stop financing Nazis.

Posts about urban biking in #Dutch cities are routinely replied to with something like “well, they have the big advantage of being relatively flat.”
The Dutch also have the big advantage of not constantly making excuses about why they can’t make clearly smarter decisions.

A common argument I come across when talking about ethics in AI is that it's just a tool, and like any tool it can be used for good or for evil. One familiar declaration is this one: "It's really no different from a hammer". I was compelled to make a poster to address these claims. Steal it, share it, print it and use it where you see fit.

Tomorrow I’m walking off the job with hundreds of my Washington Post colleagues because the company is breaking the law and bargaining in bad faith. Respect our picket line during our 24-hour strike by avoiding Washington Post journalism on Dec. 7, and send a letter to our bosses here: bit.ly/postguildsupport
