Meninger: Tidligere «Alt-Right»-leder: Hat og nedlatenhet mot kvinner er en voksende trend. Utallige blogger og «mannosfære»-nettsider forgifter sinnene til unge menn over hele verden.

AI chatbots unable to accurately summarise news, BBC finds The BBC's head of news and current affairs says the developers of the tools are "playing with fire."

tough call

Gamers (read: salty men) on the internet complaining about the newly announced Witcher IV having a female lead 🍿😫 Same people who probably complained about the best game ever made: Last of Us Part II. Me: looking forward! Ciri was more of a main char in this universe than Geralt ever was! 🤘

Watched (the orginal danish) "Speak No Evil" movie last week. Amazing as a suspense film, but most of all an amazing social commentary. Reflecting on these books made me remember the movie again and I would recommend people to watch it!

I'm opening two packs a day in the new Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket app 😆 Addicted! Nothing beats the feeling of getting those holo cards!

I might have to reread On Tyranny because the world was a different place when I first read it 😓. Antisocial is another worth-while read for insight into alt-right/alt-light movements and how they think. Knowledge is power.

Few weeks ago I found bluesky a bit underwhelming, but now the floodgates have opened and I’m really starting to enjoy the feeds 🤩

Screenshot of AI saying sorry for not just saying "NO" when asked about something that wasn't feasible to do.

AI just never knows when it's time to give up. It will tell you "You can achieve what you want by refactoring your whole application into 15 microservices and writing these 16 bash scripts to put in your CI/CD pipeline" instead of just saying "No, that's not possible/feasible".
