I had to explain to my kids about sexuality, prevention, sexual harassment, rape, class struggle, politics, Europe, Trump!, war in Ukraine, Gaza, famine, homophobia, xenophobia, antisemitism, climate change, why we don't do everything to leave them a healthy world...

when you learn something, you personally get to benefit from it. but in a gen AI model, a billionaire gets your learning and human brain preferences and desires and choices for free. Stop teaching a machine to make things. You are doing work for them for free

NRC sprak zeven gerenommeerde genocide-onderzoekers over Gaza. Zij zijn lang niet zo verdeeld als de publieke opinie: zonder uitzondering kwalificeren ze de Israëlische acties als ‘genocidaal’. En volgens hen zijn nagenoeg al hun collega’s het daarmee eens. buff.ly/mMUvNBS

Persoonlijk vind ik dat je als nieuwsredactie met ethische standaarden een etnische zuivering gewoon zonder discussie mag afkeuren. Of je kan doen alsof pro-etnische zuivering ook een legitiem standpunt is voor de goedkope ✨interactie ✨
Door de morele ondergrens en nog wat dieper @nu.nl. Palestijnen en hun toekomst doen er niet toe, hun lot is een mooi discussieonderwerp.

This putrid human is celebrating the decimation of trans rights in the UK. She’s gloating because she helped fund it. She funded it thru money she makes off Harry Potter.
She will continue to do this. It’s her “mission”.
Supporting Harry Potter harms and causes death in my community. Factually.

INZENDING: Er is gistermiddag een Kameraad thuis opgezocht en geïntimideerd door de politie met de vraag of zij binnenkort van plan is om weer te gaan demonstreren. Ook verwijzen zij naar haar aankomende verhuizing, wat bewijst dat haar social media account gevolgd wordt.
