Microsoft's own research confirms something that was already pretty obvious: relying on a text generating machine to come up with answers erodes critical thinking, and is a method favoured by those who never liked doing critical thinking in the first place

I don't even know where to start with this. The last couple of times I've talked about Meta it's taken me tens of thousands of words to explain just how bad their decisions are. This one is even worse. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Zuckerberg will soon "get rid of" fact-checkers across Meta platforms. He massively confuses fact-checking with "censorhip" 👇. Seems Meta will soon become the same cesspool of hate and misinformation as X. Well done Mark - more BlueSky users incoming!

Is there a human and a beyond-human reality? This video outlines the mental models I use to think about these things. I call it an "operational framework" because it comes in handy when developing concepts for immersive tech.

From a DigitalFUTURES workshop earlier this year.
