"We've got those... what're they called? Zoopraxiscope? Are, are they, lobsterscopes? No, no it's a stereophoroskop! Wait, no, an electrotachyscope. A craboscope? A theatograph? A zinematograph? An anarithmoscope? An X-ograph? C'mon, someone help me out here! Is it a katoptikum?"

Trump: "We have photographs or tapes -- like moving cameras, right? -- where people are on the side cutting it with a box knife."

here is what i think: we're not consumers or spectators, we are participants with agency. you should not hope that democrats will do anything. you must work to force them to do the right thing. the odds are long, but we are far from the first americans to face long odds. we will win.

you know, when someone says something like "these are the things that need to be done to avert disaster" and your response is "you think democrats will do that?!?" all you're telling me is that you think politics is a spectator sport

1/2* How Deep Is Your Love? Day 50 - the Final #FiveAlive might not get the same response as the Monkees or Clientele posts, but I’ve been looking forward to this one. Discovering new sounds is what Bluesky is all about. Select 5 unsung / relatively obscure LPs you completely adore…(2/2 to follow*)

If you want to know whether 'AI' (or indeed, your mate down the pub) is giving you the right answer, you need to know the right answer yourself. Once you rely on trust, you cede control to unaccountable algorithms run by corporations uninterested in your wellbeing but keen to sell you product.

AI is "just a tool" but also "every child on the planet must be forced to learn to prompt (train) the machines and edit its output and that is the future of education" do not make sense. If it is "just a tool," we do not have to repurpose the entire architecture, goals, of education.

When radioactivity was discovered, there was a rush to market for all sorts of radioactive consumer goods. There were water jugs made out of uranium glass, for example. I think about that a lot these days whenever I see AI products being marketed to consumers.
