A relevant question about the allegedly over-representation of the left in culturally acknowledged social media (bluesky. Mastodon?)
vs. the "right"
[J Scalzi]
The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

CAIL = prerequisite knowledge for a critical perspective, such as to tell apart nonsense hype from true theoretical computer scientific claims. For example, the idea that human-like systems are a sensible or possible goal is the result of circular reasoning and anthropomorphism. olivia.science/ai

This bizarre 'nostalgia' towards things that never existed by petty tyrants and fascists was already there before AI came and gave expression to their picture-thinking. Here is Paolo Virno from 2002:

Key Questions about terrorism

[And i only start from 2001?]
Did the victims of the train stabbing feel terror?

Of course they did.

So why are police saying it’s not terrorism? 🤷‍♂️

A reminder that most Muslims are once again left asking why “terrorism” only seems to apply when the attacker claims to be Muslim

Brexit costs us £40 billion a year in lost tax income from trade with the EU, this is why we are broke

If you vote for Reform you're voting for the same people who made us broke, to fix us being broke 🤷‍♂️ #BBCQT

Unjustified study with LLM
[not backed by sci need/reason]

"degrades research
undermines your results"

AND severely pollutes the environment
the amount of academic research now using llms in research (synthetic data generation, to classify, annotate, or analyse large scale data, etc) is astounding. remember, just cus use of llms in research is becoming normalised does NOT erase the fact it degrades the research & undermine your results
