Ukraine now has not a single power plant that was not hit by missiles, most of them not operational right now. Kiev currently is -13 °C. People are freezing for days, pipes are bursting. And we got so used to the news of the war, that it's not even a front page story any more.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.
The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

@meredithmeredith.bsky.social Thank you so much for the CCC-talk and that was wonderful!
I loved it, I think we need to have more awareness towards digital privacy and prompt-injection related attacks.

There is this limit after which techno stuff is just "cool", but it's useless as a matter of improvement and only complicates things more (I'd argue most people would be better off without a smartphone too!)

There is this thing about transcendence of work, and I think it's being lost, looking at work as anything more than a means to make money, which is very crappy

there is a heavy amount of hypocrisy going on with the usage of AI tools and people claiming its useless - or attacking it, with the very same teams also actively using them.

Yes. It will. Right now this is the early test version that is being used to prove the idea. Eventually this will be pluggable with your own bullshit generator using WebAssembly and CGI.
