A key component of the Cambridge Analytica outrage was your friends subjecting you to data theft without your consent or knowledge. Facebook is running the same playbook on your text messages. Even if you’re not on Meta properties, they’re ingesting your interactions.

Mindy Weisberger@laminda.bsky.social · 17h agoFor years, a group of scientists in Copenhagen fed their research into Anthropic's AI models to write code and draft manuscripts. @carlzimmer.com reports that among their work were findings about new enzymes—which Anthropic recently "discovered" independently, according to an announcement last week
Public pressure works. The Cornell 7 drugged and raped a student for seven hours. They offered her up for “free” to their entire frat house and the school made them write an essay about it. They must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Jane Doe’s courage will help secure justice:

Labour is not opening new safe routes. This latest measure is reopening a route they closed and making it more restrictive. This follows claiming they were opening new community sponsorship and work/study routes which already existed but they made harder to access. It's smoke and mirrors. #r4today
Talking about my struggles with being overweight still makes me uncomfortable, since weight can carry moral judgment in ways that other health challenges don't. But that fear stops too many struggling from getting treatment that could extend their lives.

Some thoughts on legal AI… (a thread) I used to work for a NON-generative legal AI company, and I’ve published articles on legal AI and spoken at conferences about it. I'm not an expert in GENERATIVE AI, but I'm seeing the results of my clients using it. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/26/b...

Since I've just seen an influencer, who usually has sense but is clueless when it comes to GLP-1s ... and I can't be arsed responding (again) 'cos I've bashed my head against enough brick walls... ... I thought I'd offer to answer questions about GLP-1s from my experience as a patient. Ask away.
Once upon a time healthcare settings attempted to prevent nosocomial infection. They had performance indicators around it. They weren't out there intentionally infecting people.
Kelly@broadwaybabyto.bsky.social · 2d agoSymptomatic HSC staff who work with immunocompromised patients no longer have to test for Covid I’m immunocompromised I’ve been treated by visibly sick healthcare workers who’ve gotten upset with me for asking them to mask This policy change is horrifying, but not surprising to disabled people.
I don’t even know what to say anymore. The only thing Covid conscious people are trying to do, truly, is not get sick. That we’ve become the country’s newest freak show is predictable given the pandemic, but truly despicable on a base human level.

Nope. The Australian government should stop attempting to manufacture consent for environmentally wasteful AI data centres used to attack Australian services with malware and steal the property of Australian creatives. Also they should learn what astro-turfing actually means.

Another great Nate thread!
Nate Federman@natefederman.bsky.social · 3d agoIf you’re a TV writer (or doing any collaborative creative job) you will encounter problems in other people’s work. So this week’s #Scriptsky #Screenwriting thread is about THE THREE WAYS OF DEALING WITH SOMEONE ELSE’S ISSUE. Two options will lead to more problems and one will keep you employed.
I went walking in Para Wirra - just a stroll on well-signposted paths in a well-established park. It's beautiful, but I was struck by how easy it would be to get lost in on land that's not dense thick forest. And that made its way into FAR AS THE CROW FLIES Image: City of Playford #scriptsky
Holly@hollybeach.bsky.social · 2d agoHey #ScriptSky , what places inspire you to write? I’m always inspired by the different places I’ve been to, but I remember going here as a kid and immediately wanting to go home to write a story about it! Drop a pic of a place that has inspired your #Screenwriting!
