This apparently is not as obvious as I thought:

  • exclamation marks and emojis: sincerity
  • deadpan: sarcasm more often than not

If you have not yet watched John Oliver’s presentation of the plans for Trump’s second term, I recommend you do.

Yes, it is a comedy show, but the facts presented are extremely important and eye opening.

Last Week Tonight is on Max, but if you are not a subscriber, there is a 30 minute version of the show here on YouTube:

Teaching about slavery in schools and doing it well isn’t just about teaching the harshness of slavery. And educators can make #Juneteenth about so much more than the end of slavery.

Today’s holiday offers abundant opportunities to teach about what it means to fight for freedom and maintain a sense of self-determination in the face of oppression.

I've largely dismissed the strain of AI alarmism based on the notion the a computer will be so smart that the danger it poses to humanity is outsmarting us.

There are real dangers in AI, most of them relate to people using these technologies in improper ways due to having a poor understanding of what they really are... and most important the exploitation & degradation of the human body of knowledge creativity represented by publicly available digital information. 1/

@futurebird funny you should say, because I'm just starting a research project to study and recreate intelligence in this way (hopefully). I was thinking starting with bees instead of ants, but that's because I want to start in 3d.

TODAY IS THE DAY.

We're in Washington now and arrive in #Canada this afternoon. 🇨🇦

Our new home.

It's surreal, scary, wonderful.

My posting will be light until we're settled in a little.

Thank you for all your amazing replies and good wishes. I read them all, but can't reply back.

Big hugs to all of you. 🥰

Boeing's outgoing CEO could get "golden parachute" worth as much as $45 million.

The CEO before him got one worth $62 million on his way out the door in 2019.

America has socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for everyone else.

I want to make a series of videos with titles like:

"The animals of the eastern temperate forests"
"The animal life of the the savannah"

etc.

and only talk about invertebrates.

As revenge.

Apple’s journaling app! (If I’m trapped in a “walled garden” might as well check out the plants.) The app uses location, photo and other data to suggest events to journal about— The photos help jog memory & make writing less daunting.

I hope that more apps make use of the api — although wouldn’t it be nice if it were an open “event” protocol instead? (and if one could export journals to, tumblr)

I think this app could really help many people I know with memory and organization issues.

@futurebird @lambic I think the problem here is that very quickly it would be pointed out how bad these predictions are, compared to how they are touted to advertisers. (Sure they would probably nail a few things, but overall they're likely pretty crappy.) And even though the feedback might help the companies improve their algos, the hit to their reputations is too much to swallow. On the bright side, these companies probably don't know as much about as they think. Then again, how they're wrong will end up becoming our problem.
