Amazing how quickly this place has died in the last few months!

Political/policy twitter has found a new home on BlueSky, which is now very lively.

I'm rebuilding my network there and unfollowing people here as they migrate. Join us! https://t.co/AAfPGnHynx

Perhaps he does, but reputations and legacies don't work like that.

You can build a hundred bridges and they'll call you the bridge builder, but then you fuck one sheep...

Farewell Gove. You'll not be messed.

We may have disagreed on Brexit, but @michaelgove has been an outstanding Secretary of State. He deserves to be remembered in particular for his work with @NickGibbUK at Education which, building on the Blair/Adonis reforms, transformed the life chances of so many children

Bluesky Codes piling up waiting for takers. If you want to help the migration, RT this into your network. My followers have been soaked already.

@t0nyyates @robfordmancs Would love one if this still applies!

[Andrew Mee @andrewmee]

@KATYAND Oh no, she's at it again

Amazing: Google partnered with American Airlines, used AI to tweak flight paths to reduce contrails.

The results are in, and if scaled up this could immediately reduce aviation's global warming impact by almost 20%

Technology just keeps beating degrowth! https://t.co/aRrqH6xGgU

My brain is leaking out of my ears. What the fuck did I just read. This is not how laws, or policing, or morality, or epistemology, or “AI”, or anything works.

Fuck, what a waste of time #MyTwitterAnniversary

My passion is watching TV adaptations of teen fiction novels and rolling my eyes so hard they bleed

What’s more scary? @KatjaGrace’s study showing how many ML researchers are forecasting serious levels of AI risk, or the fact that so many ML researchers seem indifferent to that possibility?

@gmiller rips into the ML community here:

I don't often tweet.

But when I do, I a word

This is some funny shit. Wonder if he'll do a "Tom from MySpace" and make every account follow him by default

[Wild Geerters @steinkobbe]

Elon is firing engineers for explaining to him why his tweets are getting less likes https://t.co/drSfR8CP0v

This ad I just got served is so so so so so good. An API to assume someone's gender based on their name!

What an idea 😂 I can only imagine how bad this is at non-Anglo names. And then what are you even going to do with that 'data' after?! Train wreck 😂

[Andrew Mee @andrewmee]

Finally got around to migrating over to mastodon! You can find me at @[email protected] but I'll also keep this account in the meantime since my follows are split across both.

Behold the terrifying majesty of AI!

For my next trick I'm going to ask stable diffusion to draw me a picture of an essay.

@dotcode you can say that about any event attended by mortals

[Maxi Ferreira @charca]

The View Transitions API now supports MPAs (Multi-page applications) and it's truly mind-blowing.
