All the people who are anti-asbestos or want to slow asbestos progress, I have one question: If asbestos disappeared tomorrow, could you still get through an entire workday without asbestos? Imagine asbestos was suddenly banned. Would you actually be willing to give it up?

"If they turned off the thieving lying environment destroyer that you've never used and that you have massive moral objections to tomorrow, how would you cope?" Cope? I'd celebrate
Alexander Glass@alexanderglass.bsky.social · 11h agoI have one answer.
Let's ask this question a different way: Do you want more control over your personal experience online? Do you want rich billionaires to have less influence in the media and in our everyday lives? Do you want creative people to have more authority and control over their work? I could go on here.

A whole bunch of writers would notice their spell-check had suddenly improved, I guess

Crop yields down, our countryside scorched and over 2800 people are dead due to this summer's heatwaves. Meanwhile fossil fuel giants are raking in record profits. We must end this rampant profiteering, and cut fossil fuels from our energy mix as soon as possible.

That's because Starmer told anyone with half a conscience that the Labour party wasn't for them, so they left
Women society should listen to : Black women, Brown women, Asian women, Indigenous women, trans women, disabled women Women society should ignore* : terfs, billionares, cishet white abled rich women, fascist white supremacist women *ignore their ravings, not how dangerous they are
It's like watching the world cup except everything was AI generated. That's how it feels whenever I find out AI was used in the making of art. Completely defeats the purpose of it.
Counter point: you could, at that point, just pay artists to generate art. What a completely moronic idea. I believe their company will have either gone bankrupt, been bought out, or "pivoted" to some other grift by this time next year.
Who are these people who listen to the rich ****s on TV telling them that actually YOU are the problem, and YOU need to be driven into more poverty. Then nod along like idiots.

It's fucking stunning that people act like it's impossible to do this without AI anymore when that's exactly what they were doing like three fucking years ago. It's like if you found out the Door Dash guys were spitting in your food and you were like "WELL GREAT, NOW HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO EAT?!"
the idea these dorks have secure employment and they don’t even check to make sure a quote is real makes me want to walk into a lake
It's just an absurd framing. "Lots of writers now only do the actual work that should be the bare minimum expectation of any writer."
All we got out of AI is the confirmation that 90% of "professionals" really are just bullshitters who faked it 'til they made it, with the added caveat that none of them are even aware of it. "Insane to think that non-fiction writers now resort to primary sources!" WHAT DO YOU MEAN, ***NOW***?!
"difficult decisions" Austerity is back, baby
Victoria Derbyshire@vicderbyshire.bsky.social · last wk.Andy Burnham has promised given a speech on adult social care in England, promising to "lift up" workers through pay and training On funding reforms, he said there would be "difficult decisions" but more could be done with existing resources
Private schools too? Or are the hard hats not for those kids?
