How did AI start so wrong? Its everywhere from refrigerators to airports. The public is fearful. Does AI need regulation? What would that regulation look like? If you are in Boston:

You know that feeling when a book is over 550 pages? Well... Just started book "Free Food for Millionaires" by Min Jin Lee - I AM HOOKED.
The writing - chef level - each sentence seasoned perfectly with the zest of cultural friction and bold flavor of family. #booksky 💙📚@minjinlee.bsky.social

This is a really really important thing to do. 🙏 If you are struggling with how to add descriptions, this skeet will walk you thru.
Please use alt-text on your images, and if you need reminders, you can go into your settings & activate the option to have it automatically require you to add alt-text before it'll let you post.
Let's keep this place meaningfully accessible.

And if you have trouble with descriptions, just ask yourself a simple question: what's important to know in and about this picture? What does the image contains (&, if it's yours, what senses did you want to convey)? Write that down. It's easiest with text, but you can learn the knack elsewise too

How is BlueSky different from those other platforms? Hope this is helpful for the new friends to Bluesky its really simple and clear.
The way they created this is really next level under the hood. On the front-end, it looks the same as twitter. Twitter is a regular centralized website. Bluesky is decentralized and uses crytopgraphic functions (e.g. merkle trees) to propagate your data with assurance it was you.
It's pretty cool!

Goodreads is owned by Amazon & there is an AMAZING alternative‼️
The StoryGraph is a black women-owned competitor to GoodReads with better UI in my opinion.
When you sign up you can even transfer your data from Goodreads to StoryGraph!

Remember, remember the 5th of November takes on a different significance this year. But once again it’s about democracy and political violence.
Coincidentally I am in Athens, the cradle of democracy.
I hope Harris supporters will turn out today & avert the threat to democracy of a Trump presidency

In the US, there are less younger drivers due to soaring rent and education debt.
The reason? As insurance costs soar and tests get harder, young people are driving much less than they used to.
Young drivers may yet face new curbs on freedoms. But they are driving less anyway — and making roads safer as a result!

In the US, there are less younger drivers due to soaring rent and education debt.
When the few freedoms of older people are in jeopardy perhaps a look over the shoulder is warranted.
The thing is, while they are more deadly, there aren’t actually that many old drivers, and they don’t drive that many miles.
Young people, because of the sheer number of them, cause much more overall damage…
