I understand the criticism of Gen AI as a power hungry tech but if I can create something in 1/100th the time and do 1 search instead of twenty, isn't that a massively net positive carbon outcome.
I also recognise that this is only valid if I don't fill the time gained with extra work.

The men 'worried' about the unfair advantage that trans women supposedly have in sport, are fat guys on the sofa that deeply believe that they would dominate if they played sport against women.

When Trump and his ilk criticise DEI, they are not criticising a concept they are demonising people, real people who just happen to be LGBTI+, women or people of colour. Every time you hear the acronym DEI replace it in your head with people.

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.

And if measuring LIGO’s 4km path shortening by 1/1000 the diameter of a proton is unimaginable, that’s the same accuracy as measuring the distance to Alpha Centauri to within the width of a human hair! 🧪
Every once in a while, I remember that humans are now able to detect ripples in the very fabric of spacetime itself originating from merging black holes at cosmological distances by looking for laser displacements on Earth equal to 1/1000 the diameter of a proton. That's pretty fucking amazing. 🧪

Meta accuses Australian government of failing to consider young people’s voices with world-first social media ban
One independent MP calls bill – which passed on Thursday – a ‘1970 solution for a 2024 problem’
Social media company Meta has accused the Australian government of rushing to introduce an under-16 social media ban without properly considering the evidence and voices of young people.
