Less "prompt engineering" and more labor organizing.

This is a publicly funded industry, proof that the U.S. can create jobs programs and design industrial policy when it wants to, but only substantially does so for the purpose of war and violence.

decided that today’s ken sim story was really just an excuse to talk about old mayors and their weird beefs
Oil prices are up, and Canadian politicians will use them as justification for more pipelines.
A closer look reveals a different picture: one where the countries importing fossil fuels have yet another reason to diversify away from them. #cdnpoli #abpoli

Exactly, technology accelerates everything, but human experience needs time and reflection to grow. Without ethical and cultural awareness, we risk adapting passively. The problem isn’t AI itself, but letting the technical horizon become the only one, turning humans into cogs...
I agree we accept it as inevitable without giving more thought to the implications of allowing private enterprise to control of our lives, government and culture. It all moves so fast while society tends to move slow. Concerning for sure.
Why is the media celebrating AI’s quest to automate us out of existence? We are burning through our planet’s water and power just to eliminate human livelihoods. Aside from a handful of tech founders, who actually wins in a future where we sacrifice our resources to replace ourselves?

Clearcuts = Floods.
Is anyone surprised by the results of this study?
Imagine an army of "bots" that can get around any safeguards against bots, deployed in local elections where nobody's paying attention.
This investigation from @rorywh.bsky.social should be ringing alarm bells for anyone concerned about democracy.
With municipal elections coming up in six Canadian provinces in 2026, experts warn that “cyborg propaganda” tools could reduce campaigns to battles between humans ventriloquised by chatbots. #munipoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/02/24/i...
This would be ironic if it weren't just so common as to be inevitable, given the lack of interest in safety for non-car road users.
Billionaires will make a lot of noise when you ask them to pay their fair share. These people make more money overnight than a worker makes in a year. They can afford it. #bcpoli
This morning in my local paper there were three stories in a row:
-the death of a local triathlete in a hit-and-run
-the death of a toddler in a stroller in a marked crosswalk
-a car plunging off a cliff
Watch out for yourselves out there, because drivers sure aren't watching out for anyone.
