The US government deployed xAI's Grok to give dietary advice -- and it's giving some eyebrow-raising advice.

Great piece from @dsquareddigest.bsky.social, which touches on one of the big theories for why English-speaking countries do especially badly at housebuilding:
Adversarial and litigious common law systems (Anglo) vs judge-led civil law systems elsewhere.

The ‘bel’ in ‘decibel’ is for Alexander Graham Bell.
Since the ‘B’ in 'dB' is a name-derived unit, it is capitalized when abbreviated.

the park should not be full of broken glass.
you can't just ban children from the play area and call the problem solved.
1) they now have no play area
2) everyone else is still getting cut to ribbons

yes. the things that would make social media safer for children are almost all just the things that would make social media non-harmful/much less harmful for *all of us*.
if you do it by age verification then nothing will stop a child in a difficult home accessing stuff via parents' accounts

The under-16 social media (and VPN, and chatbot) ban is part of a broader policy problem IMV, which is that it is politically easier to talk about e.g. 'child poverty', and you can do a lot of good with that approach, but it has hard limits because ultimately you are also just talking about poverty.

There are hundreds upon hundreds of millions of dollars worth of art warehoused at airports around the world, to avoid paying international duties and customs. Rich people buy and trade them without the paintings ever leaving the warehouse. I'd steal something, anything, from that.
