My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

no one ever had to be forced to use *good* tech.

"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

There is a direct correlation between how fake your job is and how much value you see in AI
carnage4life.bsky.social Dare Obasanjo @carnage4life.bsky.social · 26d
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.

I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?
Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

Onze reporter probeert een week te overleven met 70 euro: “Voortdurend stress, niemand kiest hiervoor”
Het kan: overleven met 70 euro per week. Maar je lijdt honger en kou en bent eenzaam. Zeven dagen lang deden wij mee met de inleefweek armoede van de stad Beringen. Met uitdagingen als een doodzieke kat, tandpijn en de mazouttank die leeg is. “Je leeft eigenlijk voortdurend in stress.”

Rolling out the Matt Christman quote from after Charlottesville (2017) again:
And that's what these guys are, these guys that marched in Charlottesville, these are the people who are aware of the unspoken premise of this sort of zombie neoliberalism that we're living in, which is that we're coming to a point where there's gonna be ecological catastrophe, and that it's gonna require either massive redistribution of the ill-gotten gains of the first world, or genocide. And these are the first people who have basically said, "Well if that's the choice, then I choose genocide", ", and they're getting everyone else ready, intellectually and emotionally, for why that's gonna be okay when it happens, why they're not really people. When we're putting all this money into more fucking walls and drones and bombs and guns to keep them away, so that we can watch them die with clear consciences, it's because we've been loaded with the ideology that these guys are now starting to express publicly.

Growing up in a time when “selling out” was the most shameful thing you could do and then being forced to live through the 2020s feels like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

Geplooid voor revanchisme van N-VA. De geschiedenis herhaalt zich: in 2013 werd zo het integratiemiddenveld weggeveegd & verstaatst door N-VA met goedkeuring van CD&V & VOORUIT. In de trend van autoritarisme, primaat van de politiek & het ondergraven van procedurele rechtvaardigheid (& rechtstaat).

I hate that we're supposed to trudge through year after year after year acting like we don't already know the most effective solutions to social problems because some people don't like it. We know the best way to treat homelessness, addiction, crime, poverty, hunger, and bigotry but won't do it.

De olifant in de begrotingskamer: bedrijfssubsidies.

👉 NBB bevestigd in nieuw rapport:

Sinds 200 verdubbelde geldstroom, jaarlijks ontvangen bedrijven 25 miljard € aan subsidies en investeringstoelagen, ruim 4 procent van de nationale economie (het bbp).

Ik vind dat veel redacties hun maatschappelijke taak verzaken: het publiek op de hoogte brengen van zaken die fundamenteel belangrijk zijn. Té veel journalisten zijn druk met nieuwswaardige kleinigheden en zelfs clickbait terwijl er een olifant in de kamer staat.
