Well, this isn’t going to be good. We all know how this will likely go. The Supreme Court has announced that one of the first cases it will hear when its new term begins in October is a major climate change lawsuit. Boulder County, Colorado, is seeking millions of dollars from fossil fuel
The business of "A.i." is based on a lack of consent. The corporations pushing it don't ask if anyone wants it; they force it on us. They use it to surveil. They offer it to creeps to create nudes of others without permission. It's a business run by creeps with the ethics of creeps.

Biology was never meant to be studied in 2D. One of the coolest things about my new work is being able to visualize: 🧠 Neural circuits 🩸 Vascular networks 🎯 Drug biodistribution 🎗️ Disease progression Here's a small glimpse of what we're building at @deeppiction.bsky.social 🤩🔬 #3DImaging
I asked Fable to produce an interactive tool that explains simply how neural networks work, taking users through the history of the technology at the same time. Pretty magical, in my view. jazzy-duckanoo-9271fa.netlify.app

Who does now? The public. Also it won’t be capital anymore. Capital is a process of profit generation. Socialism is perfectly capable of investing in machinery and innovation. There is nothing that says it can’t.
1. First, let's talk about the elephant in the room that he doesn't mention explicitly but haunts the whole piece: climate change is real, we've overshot the goal and the only way to turn the corner is to leave fossil fuel in the ground. To ignore that is to talk about rocketry and ignore gravity.
Nah. This bollocks. There was no effort in Nazi Germany to develop chemical weapon payloads for V1/V2 missiles. And the rocketry and nerve agent guys were compartmented from each other

Oooh, your parasocial relationship is really showing here. What a class act. Knitters already know what exact forces keep knits together and can tell by *touch* when they're not right lol. He also got a lot of other stuff wrong, e.g. the oldest known knit socks. That's nothing to do with physics.
A lovely little bit of physics that you might have spotted if you ever play with a slinky. We should all play more, because we should all embrace our curiosity. And finding out how the physical world works is fun!
