@CynicalPublius If that's true, why are so many Americans moving over here?

@eyckenhorst En België ook

@eyckenhorst Luxembourg heeft dat al gehad.

@HenriOsewoudt @mariekehoogwout Het model in de grafiek niet, dat vind ik ook. Ben wel benieuwd of je een partij vindt die bij je past. Ja/nee is genoeg.

[Ailsa Leadbetter @aylatwork]

@HenriOsewoudt @mariekehoogwout Vind je dat bij geen enkele partij terug, of denk je dat de grafiek verkeerd is?

[Ailsa Leadbetter @aylatwork]

@HenriOsewoudt @mariekehoogwout Eens, deze twee metrics hangen teveel met elkaar samen, ze zijn niet onafhankelijk van elkaar.

Hoe zou links conservatief en rechts progressief eruit moeten zien, vraag ik me af.

@xruiztru Interesting that Faen (N) is translated differently than Fan (SE).

@jac_siuhaj Wow! And the plants are still so green. Mine died back weeks ago.

[Ailsa Leadbetter @aylatwork]

@ericmmatheny Definitely not unheard of in the Netherlands

Dear @heraldscotland, did Mrs Mackintosh not have a name? 🙄

This might be the most disturbing AI paper of 2025 ☠️

Scientists just proved that large language models can literally rot their own brains the same way humans get brain rot from scrolling junk content online.

They fed models months of viral Twitter data short, high-engagement posts and watched their cognition collapse:

- Reasoning fell by 23%
- Long-context memory dropped 30%
- Personality tests showed spikes in narcissism & psychopathy

And get this even after retraining on clean, high-quality data, the damage didn’t fully heal.

The representational “rot” persisted.

It’s not just bad data → bad output.
It’s bad data → permanent cognitive drift.

The AI equivalent of doomscrolling is real. And it’s already happening.

@StevenArra Oprechte vraag: welke levens heeft hij "de afgelopen decennia" gered? Zijn eerste termijn begon in 2016, en van de afgelopen 10 jaar was hij er 4 niet president. Heeft hij voor 2016 levens gered?

@feyiszn Aging myself here but it has to be Twin Peaks

@allhailtwit The building on the left in this picture, correct? Photo taken in August

[Ailsa Leadbetter @aylatwork]

@simongerman600 Actually, not funny at all.

[Ailsa Leadbetter @aylatwork]

@DeMondige @simongerman600 What is a drerrie? Iemand die aan de weg werkt? Iemand die langs de weg hangt?

[Ailsa Leadbetter @aylatwork]

@klaasm67 @simongerman600 Had you heard of drerries? That was a new one for me too - although I'm really not sure what the English means either!

[Ailsa Leadbetter @aylatwork]

@simongerman600 Never heard either of these Dutch words. Nor the English, come to think of it, and the photo doesn’t help.

@BrokenBritain_7 @therealmissjo That's one of the reasons I dislike the random approach in the UK.

[Ailsa Leadbetter @aylatwork]

@BrokenBritain_7 @therealmissjo Bear in mind that European banks have more advanced security protocols than UK banks.
