I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

my worldview changed drastically when i internalized that most problems are fundamentally just choices humans make. we could just *decide* to do better things, but instead we decide not to.
it is always a *choice* to let poor people suffer and die.

Instead of teaching us how to use AI, why doesn't the Government offer to teach us *why* to use AI?
Because we're a few years in, and I still can't see a valid reason to use it.

At this point, I have to assume that Kier Starmer has fully given up on any pretence of governing and is just padding his resume for his inevitable Silicon Valley C-suite job.
BREAKING: Free AI training will be offered to every adult in the UK, with short courses to teach people how to use simple AI tools effectively in the workplace.

I use @electionstudies.bsky.social data from 1972 to model how characters in The Simpsons would have voted in presidential elections
It turns out to be very revealing about how the demographic coalitions of the Democratic and Republican parties have completely rearranged themselves...

The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions.
It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.

I think about Elijah McClain a lot. How he was a sweet, lovely young soul who used to play the violin for stray cats. How brutally his young life ended and how the State sent riot police to interrupt the violin vigil in his name. The cruelty was always the point.

And I think about the fact that Breonna Taylor was an emergency room technician which means she spent her days and nights helping other people hold onto their lives. And how hard the State fought to protect those who had murdered her.

And little Tamir Rice and his beautiful smile used to light up the classroom for both his teachers and his friends. He loved drawing and football and basketball. He was twelve, a child and the State and the media tried to portray him as “violent”. The rage I still feel about this.

I guess I just find it so hard to understand all those people who are posting “this is not America” over these last few weeks. This is very much America. It’s the same State violence that killed Elijah and Eric and Breonna and Tamir and then vilified their image so cruelly. It has always been this.

“He’s killing us in the streets and we still have to pay our taxes in April” is an incredibly compelling point.
Before speaking with two armed men at the Pretti vigil last night, a man approached & asked if I was going to tell the truth. I said yes. He told me how frustrated he was at the media & the harm it’s causing to his community.
I asked if he wanted to share words for the media on camera, & he did:
