“In practice, however, technology is never neutral, because it takes on the characteristics of those who devise it, finance it, regulate it and use it.”

THANK YOU POPE LEO FOR SAYING THIS.

Time for the “technology is a tool with no inherent moral position” idea to die!

Imagine back in the heyday of online essay mills, if the push had been to teach students to use essay mills ethically and to develop essay mill strategies. Or if we had accepted that essay mills were okay for grammar and organization but taught Ss to make the essays their own.

make sure you choose a password that contains capital letters, numbers, and special symbols so that someday the data broker who purchases your info can go "ooh good password" after your login details are inevitably leaked in a data breach you can do nothing to prevent

If genAI is so "good" then lets put a tag on everything produced with it. Tag your products, tag your writing, hell tag your college diploma. Lets see what the market actually thinks when AI usage is fully disclosed.

The West Midlands, population circa 6 million, produced Shakespeare, Darwin, George Eliot, Tolkien, Elgar and Larkin, but no one thinks its inhabitants are uniquely gifted; in fact quite the opposite

as English speakers we have to sort out the 'had had' situation. it's frankly embarrassing to the language

The ICE agent who shot Marimar Martinez in Chicago tried to goad her out of her car.

He said “do something b*tch” & shot her 5 times.

The ICE agent who shot Nicole Good did the same thing. Stood in front of her vehicle and yelled “f*cking bitch”.

They hate women & it shows.

As many of us begin Christmas meal prep, allow me to share the advice that my ER nurse sister puts in the chat every year:

A dropped knife has no handle. Jump away. Let it fall. You can pick it up and wash it.

It was always perfectly legal to say nasty things about a foreign military.

We all know why UK police allowed 6 months of pro-israel media to publish endless stories about the supposed criminality of a chant that was perfectly legal.

AI access is free or cheap now to get you dependent on it, so they can later start charging you — and you’ll have no option but to cough up, because you’ll have forgotten how to live without it.

So… maybe just skip that whole future crisis, and don’t use it / stop using it now?

I live in Wales and today received my Join Us letter from Reform UK, complete with SAE which I posted back to them, immediately, empty. If every other person in Wales did this, Reform would spend over £1.5 million on postage. Not sorry. Join me Cymru.

people AI generating pictures of themselves at art museums so they can post it on instagram instead of actually going to art museums……….big loser behavior. and i mean BIG big

“You’re overreacting that digital ID is a slippery slope to more authoritarianism and surveillance” would be more convincing if the British government was not arresting grandmothers for writing words on cardboard.

I know it's not an original observation, but it's still mind-blowing how much British Nationalism is explicitly a project to replace all of British culture and sovereignty with a total, religious subservience to America.

Most people in the UK, outside of the terminally online and U.S. politics nerds, will never have heard of Charlie Kirk. Yet the PM and the foreign secretary are tweeting like a global political figure has been assassinated. It’s bizarre.
