People gave a record amount of money to multiple organizations for the people of Gaza and all this money just sat there for the past 2 years because Israel blocked it. I hope this money gets distributed quickly now so that the people of Gaza don't have to beg anymore

Please boost this far and wide. Our finest minds are used to oppress dissent and murder wholesale. All because tech bros want to play kings. No tech for genocide enablers and apartheid states.

"Why would OpenAI and Microsoft spend $23 million to give 'free training' on how to use AI to teachers? Because they love teachers? No. Because they want to get their products into public schools in an attempt to cultivate the education market. ... To automate teachers, in other words."

Hamilton Nolan @hamiltonnolan.bsky.social · 14d

It takes no special technical expertise to know that
1) AI's main value proposition today is automating labor,
2) AI is going to supercharge economic inequality, and
3) If we do not get out in front of that policy-wise, we are fools.

Thinking of AI as a Social Problem

No need to know the unknowable. The knowable is bad enough.

Israeli Defense Minister Katz: "Those who remain in Gaza City will be terrorists and terror supporters."

In other words, Israel declares its intention to exterminate everyone in Gaza City who could not move south.

That is what calling everyone 'terrorists and terror supporters' means.

Finally! Enhanced dialogue (iOS 26). As much as I love the @2000ad.bsky.social In Orbit podcast the volume is too low.
This means Siri is yelling direction at me when I’m driving. No more!

Screenshot whats new page: What's New in
Apple Podcasts. Enhance Dialogue.
Amplify just the voices in an episode for clearer listening.

Yet another in a line of dodgy decisions by the Labour Government.

Trump says he specifically requested that Sadiq Khan be excluded from the UK state banquet:

"On immigration, he's a disaster."

As mayor of London, Khan has no powers over immigration.
