I confronted a tech boss about my sister’s suicide. I don’t know why I bothered
Aimee died at 21 after going on a notorious self-harm forum. But when I approached a tech CEO to talk about online safety at a Davos debate, I was threatened with removal, writes Adele Walton

For those on the Right, free speech means the freedom to spread misinformation, fear, and hatred without being held to account. Read @adelewalton.bsky.social on the UK Online Safety Act.
Redefining Free Speech
The UK Online Safety Act aims to protect people online. Could the legislation reinstate the principles of free speech and preserve democratic debate?

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.
Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

In many ways, Bender and Hanna successfully demonstrate that AI is a con. It fails at productivity and intelligence, while the hype launders a series of transformations that harm workers, exacerbate inequality and damage the environment.

this! don't call me a "denialist", "pessimist" or anything negative if I have all the empirical evidence and receipts while the other side shows up with "potentials", "possibilities" & other buzzword. call me an expert, a scientist or a realist
Hm. Don't think I'm on board with calling AI skeptics/critics "denialists." Seems to obscure the fact that there is an ideological contestation at play, rather than, as with climate change, an empirical or even epistemological one.
