How does #AI enable and/or impede human connection?
In this @MediaLSE lecture, @allison_pugh explains how now machines have time for people, while human workers rush by.
@coachshane I’m curious, what time was it?
E.g., in Germany, you’re not allowed to use a washing machine after 10pm or before 6am. And in Switzerland, you can actually get fined for stuff like showering, washing dishes, flushing the toilet, or doing laundry between 10pm and 7am
@MarioNawfal Here’s a good report with Russian experts on aviation after two years of sanctions. After watching, ask yourself honestly: ‘Would I fly a Yakovlev or a Sukhoi?’ Then, with a clear conscience, go ahead and repost your statement.

On my way home, I was staring at a fence, mentally chewing on routine. Then I switched focus and—bam—a hummingbird, like a tiny superhero! Lesson learned: shifting your gaze isn’t just good for your eyes, it’s good for your soul.

My gecko guest is in week two of his stay. First, he hid under the bed, all modest. Now? He’s claiming my slippers and bossing the kitchen. Guess I’m the guest now.
.@yulia_navalnaya Юля, на мой взгляд, просто возмутительно то, что ты говоришь о Каце и его участии в антипутинском и антивоенном движении.
Ты, наверное, очень занята и редко бываешь в интернете, поэтому не знаешь, что @max_katz со своей редакцией активно работает против Путина и войны, публикуя видео, которые собирают миллионы просмотров. Я вижу, что команда Каца делает на порядок больше, чем ACF, FRF и Антивоенный комитет вместе взятые. Уверен, что эту работу нужно ценить по достоинству. Ты себя, пока, ничем в этой области не проявила, так что, будь добра, уважай работу других людей.
И еще: ты ошибаешься или намеренно лжешь, когда говоришь, что Кац в деле Ив-Роше поддержал Бастрыкина. Этого не было, а позиция Каца по делам, связанным с обвинениями против Алексея, изложена во втором видео здесь.
Юля, мне кажется, что ты сама не хочешь лезть в эту политику, но тебя подталкивают обстоятельства. Получается пока не очень, ты видишь.
