Anyway like I said. You don't get to label me an "AI Hater" if you can't explain how the technology works. I've closed Jira tickets older than you

Regulating children is not the same thing as regulating social media platforms. Seems very important to distinguish between the two. However, social media platforms tend to be run by powerful billionaires, so easier to go after the kids instead.

As govt is going to ban social media for kids, then they should also: - invest in youth clubs and social spaces where young people are welcome - put some actual money into libraries - mandate that secondary schools supply offline learning resources - implement effective regulation

Twitter/X is an enormous national security threat on a global scale, and a lot more nations need to grow a spine and start blocking it (and taking other active, aggressive measures).

Statement from Mayor of London Sadiq Khan calling for Musk and his platform to be held to account:

I have likely missed the serious discourse on this. I'm a big fan of Jess Philips, but the technology does not exist to stop children taking naked pictures of themselves. Or, in so far as it does, the technology is "not letting children have cameras".

It's been clear for a hot minute an anti-autism diagnosis campaign is in the works but I am truly stunned they are literally just going for the Detransitioner playbook

I've been playing around with Chrome's experimental HTML-in-Canvas API (I use it to create my videos), and I wanted to see if I could make text-selection work on a curved surface by moving the underlying element around on pointermove. It works pretty well!

Somebody said millennials usually use their laptops (instead of smartphones) for major purchases, including booking flights. I can’t stop thinking about this.

I made a tool that turns PCB designs into 3D-printable molds. you sandwich copper tape between the parts, sand the ridges, and you have a real working PCB. no etching, no chemicals. I am losing my mind castpixel.itch.io/pcb-forge

May as well dive right in. Did you know that dogs in ancient Mesopotamia also refused to drop the ball? According to a Sumerian proverb, “The dog understands ‘Take it!’ It does not understand ‘Put it down!’” Source: cdli.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/artifacts/34...

After announcing it in the summer, today the UK government launched free training courses to AI upskill workers. It's free because it's funded by big-tech companies such as Amazon, Google, Microsoft and others, and not by local organisations in the UK who have been working with communities->

Society for Hopeful Technologists

For everyone who wants technologies to work for people and planet.

The Society for Hopeful Technologists listened to our community. We know many folks feel tech has gone in the wrong direction and don't know what to do about it. We're going to start by building a solidarity network that makes it easier for Hopeful Technologists to act hopeful.technology

Anyway, everything is obviously terrible but - to quote the mighty Rebecca Solnit - "hope is the ax you break the door down with in an emergency". We have some potentially VERY exciting news to share soon, but in the meantime, hopeful.technology

I just accidentally sent out the Society for Hopeful Technologists email newsletter 12 hours earlier than planned, but the upside of that is that I can share our excellent new website and plan of action buttondown.com/society-of-h...
