Pasi Pennanen@pasipennanen.bsky.social · 3w agoOlemme nähneet 2pv aikana lukuisia juttuja siitä, millainen p**** Vapaavuori on. Sen sijaan Orpon roolia häivytetään prosessista, vaikka hän "runttasi" asian läpi hallituksessa ja valehteli siitä. Kokoomus on selvästi päättänyt uhrata Vapaavuoren ja lehdistö osallistuu kiitettävästi projektiin.
Saying universities have to allow AI because people are using it anyway is identical to demanding that mainstream TV stations show hardcore pornography. Like, yes, you can certainly make that argument. But only an absolute fool would see this response as the only viable course of action.
This paper keeps showing up on my feed. I'm just a guy who studies science but I don't think the message here is that LLMs are crazy powerful. We already know that LLMs aggregate opinions. And we know social scientists don't tend to test hypotheses thought to be 50-50 to go in either direction.

George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸@gtconway.bsky.social · last mo.This is ridiculous. Balogun shouldn't have been sent off. But the idea that the White House is devoting more effort to strong-arming FIFA than it has to reducing housing and healthcare costs is revolting.
EU wasted years thta could have been used to solve real problems while Cameron was trying to negotiate a "better deal" for the UK prior to the Brexit vote. Good luck with trying to get membership with the old exemptions and rebate.

Arvoisa sosiaali- ja terveysministeri Wille Rydman. Poliitikkojen tehtävä ei ole ohjailla, mitä saa tutkia. Heidän tehtävänsä on varmistaa, että tiede saa riittävät ja vakaat resurssit. tieteentekijat.fi/poliittinen-...
Hösten 2015 publicerade SD en lista över flyktingboenden. På ett torgmöte sa de: "svenska folket har en lång stubin, men när den stubinen brunnit klart, då smäller det". Och just så blev det, 2016 anlades totalt 55 bränder på flyktingboenden. 2026 är det dags igen, SD lanserar en karta över moskéer
My book refers to Musk’s USAID cuts as a Silicon Valley genocide. The richest man in the world took a chainsaw to the poorest people in the world. Laughing. So much money, so much death. Remember their names when billionaires preach “abundance.” 👇 In their AI dreams, we are all the future poor.
Lauren Dobson-Hughes@ldobsonhughes.bsky.social · last mo.Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts

More than 770,000 children are no longer receiving SNAP benefits after Trump changed the federal food program. Read that again. Then ask who voted for this. #RepublicansStarveChildren
Two pages. The same story. SNAP cuts: American children are losing food assistance and going hungry. USAID gutted: Children overseas are dying after humanitarian aid was cut. History won’t remember the excuses. It’ll remember who let children suffer. #RepublicansStarveChildren
