And this is even before AI companies are expected to turn a profit. Definitely earlier than I expected, and not a good sign if you're investing in AI imho.

Donald Trump’s idiotic war has damaged the global economy and left British families and businesses suffering. A total disaster backed by Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage.

Working through the Easter holidays feels a bit like skipping a night of sleep, though arguably it could also be the food poisoning that makes me feel like that 😅.

I expected academic Twitter to move here, but I think they ended up on LinkedIn instead 😅.

Putin is helping Iran. Zelenskyy is helping us. Trump does not seem to understand or is ignoring these basic facts. Hope someone on his team will help the president correct this policy position and... Thank Zelenskyy. Arm Ukraine. Sanction Putin.

Why is Trump negotiating when Europe pays for everything and he’s a terrible negotiator acting in bad faith?

Hi all. Before our rapid rollercoaster descent into the economic abyss (?) let me remind you that not all computer science tools are AI, and many of them don't cost much to be useful. So please don't give up hope. Now buckle up and enjoy the ride. 🥴

Now some think it's just about pivoting to OpenAI or Bezos' new "Prometheus" "AI" & I'm definitely no stocks guy, but it seems… odd to stop betting on foundational tech which has shown continual profit & move to app developers which a) Use said tech, b) have, to date, not profited, or c) don't exist

I'm curious what UQ experts have to say about this analysis... 😎.

AI could end scarcity, end humanity - or boost trend growth by 0.2 percentage points

was trying to work out why people were posting their passwords and then I realized it was potential Dutch electoral coalitions

Prime Minister Dick Schoof called fresh elections following the first collapse of his government, which would go on to fall a second time within a few months.

The Netherlands is trying to draw a line under a year of chaos with fresh elections – will it work?

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

The one post I could find on Blue Sky about Selma van der Perre. She visited the Dutch school in London every year to share her incredible story and meet the children. Her last visit was only a few weeks ago. May she rest in peace. ❤️

Morgen jährt sich die Befreiung von Auschwitz. Ein ehrliches Gedenken beinhaltet auch den Blick auf Auslassungen im Erinnern. Jüdischer Widerstand gehört dazu & deshalb heute ein Buchtipp von mir. Rezi im Blog: notwithoutmybooksblog.wordpress.com/2025/01/26/d... #lesengegendasvergessen

Voted in the Dutch election yesterday, and opted for @d66.nl this time. 👍

Citing the worrying poll, but not the papers debunking it. Perhaps a wrong choice?

Support for vaccinating kids against infectious diseases dropped from 81% in 1991 to 51% last year We are getting dumber as a society

I agree 👍

Florida bans "The Diary of Anne Frank" in school libraries. Whoever made this decision should have to eat every page of that amazing book, page by page.

Dear community, last time you helped us reach lots of new BlueSky followers. Now that we see that there is an exodus on X, it is important that these people can also find us on BlueSky for all necessary updates about Ukraine. Would you like to share this message, preferably with a quote? Thanks!

My Retrospective on Wokeness in detail! Blogs are for just saying stuff, after all. So here is my attempt to say what was distinctive (if anything) about a recent era of socio-cultural life, what (if anything) changed, and what (if anything) was to the good sootyempiric.blogspot.com/2025/08/woke...

Wokeness: a Retrospective

In recent times my online sphere has had a fair few people make the claim that, in some sense, the culture has moved on from Woke. The d...

How does one measure the quality of an assumption?

Countries should parade their scientific inventions, not their military hardware.

PVV left the Dutch government over semantics today. As an immigrant myself, I of course rejoice over the sudden weakness of Wilders.
