In an A Level class yesterday at my kid’s college, the teacher used a Gen AI image in a PowerPoint, and the whole class booed.
Yeah. You’ve got Gen Z on board, guys. Looking rosy.

E insisto: hay gente que no debería vivir en sociedad sino en una pocilga, pero desde que tengo uso de razón (y tengo 55 palos) no he visto Madrid más sucio que con Carapolla. Ni cuando era chaval y no había tanta conciencia con la generación de residuos ni por supuesto se separaba y se reciclaba 🤷♂️
Estamos en récord histórico de avisos por falta de limpieza en Madrid.
Que tu calle está más sucia que con Carmena es algo que la mayoría de medios no cuenta. Pero en @somosmadrid.bsky.social analizamos todos los datos 👇

The AI bubble may be about to bust.
Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock.
We all need to say this very clearly:
NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH!
Expropriate their asses instead.
They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet.
They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

Cuando estudié en la ETSAM había tres cátedras de proyectos: Oiza, Carvajal y Vázquez de Castro.
La de Oiza era la más creativa y "loca"; la de Carvajal era más "rigurosa" y se contaba que en la de Vázquez

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.
