I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.
Pressing send on yet another consultation on why human art, creativity, agency, and cognition matter.
This #MayDay #May1 wouldn’t it be great to collectively down AI tools at work, school, home, and on social networks. Don’t use it? Don’t repost it.
Our goal is AI out of schools in BC.

I feel sad for the Pakistani officials who were so proud of their mediation role and Islamabad as the site of historic talks.
Bannon. He’s been vocal about finding an Irish Trump.
Iran could score big PR points if they allow ships to leave for the sake of the sailors. Or evacuate them at least. Horrific conditions.
Extremely annoyed at the amount of AI pics of the astronauts landing when we have actual real cool pictures of it that we should be sharing
Streamers lobbying against similar measures around the world, particularly Europe.
Instead of cuts, if Carney was smart he'd invest $500 million in mRNA research in Canada, propelling us into a leading position in medical research.
Don’t rule out Canada. Its citizenry is itching to resurrect the legacy of Banting (insulin).
Maybe “I will raise electricity prices to build machines that ensure your family’s unemployment and brain rot, help target schoolgirls, and lock your country into neofeudalism under techbros” isn’t good politics.
It would be great to see more Dems demonstrate some understanding of this.

Does announcing talks won’t start until the assault on Lebanon stops count as “playing us”?
Sharing this thread with the afternoon shift mostly because I really enjoyed writing the last post in it lol
Hope the pubs come to their senses and revert to whatever archival system they used before.
Remember those indexed books of quotations? Those were cool. Might keep an eye out in second-hand shops and put one in a time capsule.
In the course of reporting this story on censorship over the Iran war, I actually had an experience with using AI that I thought I'd share because I think it illustrates the ongoing promise and problems with the technology.

“The E Street band is here tonight to call upon the righteous power of art, of music, of rock and roll in dangerous times.” There’s the Bruce that influenced my youth.
The best way to make women-dominated jobs attractive to men is to pay more for them. Not stupid gimmicks like telling men that care work is actually macho
Men join sectors where pay and status are increasing. And pay and status increase when men join those sectors

Did a bot conjure up the name *Muse Spark* for Meta’s new model? No self-respecting human being could possibly.
One of the most brazenly corrupt events in history will take place tomorrow when Jared Kushner represents the U.S. in critical negotiations with Iran to end the war while he accepts millions in fees (and billions in investments) from the Saudi gov’t which has been lobbying Trump to continue the war
Sold out already.

Desperate attempt to blackmail the UK into sacrificing its cultural industries or just an excuse to scale back?
I heard from some Nicaraguans a lot of the weapons given to the Contras were sold to Colombian cartels.
Is the US airforce supplying their stratotankers for the ongoing bombardment of Lebanon?
