Macron remarks are notable- some quotes: "We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies."

There has been a lot of chatter today about Zelenskyy's meeting with Trump, some regarding this moment when White House correspondent Brian Glenn asked if the Ukrainian president plans to wear a suit. I want to address idea in this thread. 🧵

literally the entire skillset that causes you to be able to "ask the right questions" is what we call "expertise". you cannot just flail around in the dark and hope to be able to out-perform a person that actually knows things bsky.app/profile/mcub...
If you have zero education, but learn how to ask AI models the right questions , in many jobs you will be able to outperform someone with an advanced degree, but who is unwilling to use Large Language Models.
Just takes a smartphone, curiosity to experiment and a mindset to learn.

The e-waste generated by the support expiry of windows 10 next year will be enormous. Microsoft could have created a lightweight no frill version that would simply replace W10 but that was beneath them. Totally irresponsible.
