People in developed economies hugely underestimate young, highly online, highly globalised, but also economically precarious people in developing economies. And that’s my main thought on the X locations thing but also on many other services exports to come from EMs in the years ahead.

y'know, if tech companies weren't so fired up to call every single thing "AI" it would be a lot easier to distinguish "ML spam filter that is well-sandboxed and tuned on your emails" from "giant context and IP-eroding foundation model that makes people paranoid and unhappy"
since the "google is now training gemini on your email contents" thing keeps bumping around here: it's _not happening_. I say this not to defend google but because I know a lot of people that have broken their filtering and made their lives much more annoying from sheer misinformation.
The malwarebytes Google opting-your-emails-into-ai-training thing is not true. The post is based on one bad tweet.

I know anti-tech lamenting is a Bluesky core principle, but please use the same judgement you would for any other clickbait.

Son: Dad, what's The Matrix?
Me: No one can be told...
Partner: Tade.
Me: It's film about how the Chosen One had to defeat an imposter to save the world.
Son: You mean Neo?
Me: No, no, no. Neo got distracted by the power of love. I mean Agent Smith.
Partner: Tade!
Me: Fine! No one can be told...

if you tell your parents that you don’t want to have kids and they look offended, it’s because they’re thinking “damn, why didn’t I think of that“

Q: Are you affirming that you think President Trump is a fascist?

if you could keep Mamdani around the White House to talk to him all day you could probably get him to do a bunch of good shit, the problem is that after this meeting the next guy in the room is Stephen Miller

Another similarity of LLMs to humans: if you expose them to a lot of disinformation, they will believe it. Which you can exploit, apparently called "LLM grooming". So LLMs fail at three levels: /1 www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

You may not know this, but Zebra aren't just stripey horses. They're quadrupedal satans in dazzle camouflage.

Six thousand years of agriculture hasn't been able to make a dent in their *notoriously murderous* attitudes. They chase and kill their own predators.
