Retired software dev. I sometimes discuss City of Toronto budget design and support issues. IMO government is a collective enterprise, and should be fully transparent and forcefully managed for all, and for the health of the planet.

Claude's Constitution Anthropic is an AI safety and research company that's working to build reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems.

TIL that Anthropic has developed Constitutional AI as a set of ethical guidelines for its LLM Claude. (an alternative to user feedback).

Seems interesting.

Good words of warning here. AI models are generally designed to read and incorporate (and, in a sense, believe) virtually everything they find online, with very few guardrails. The information can get divorced from its original source, context, & rebuttals or retractions. That's a really big problem

DB Reid: In the US, the labour share of income is already at an all-time low, so again it wouldnโ€™t take much to create a significant political backlash if AI further impacted labourโ€ฆ

YES YES YES please note this story.
Countries that had a baby boom post-World WarII (global north) have aging populations and declining birth rates, but people forget the China story (1 child policy in 1980s) and South Korea's story (post-Korean War baby boom, rapid urbanization, soaring housing$)

He lives in his own magic world. Probably the greatest narcissist in history (but I'm not a historian - Attila the Hun? Genghis Khan?). Question is whether he'll go down in flames.

Watch The Dinosaurs | Netflix Official Site From the first dinosaurs to the last, this epic documentary series examines their 165 million years on Earth and the forces that shaped their evolution.

This is interesting. Morgan Freeman takes us through an animated history spanning 100s of millions of years.

Evolution is measured in millions of years. We see the changes in dinosaurs, and related earth changes.

Side effect: gives perspective on our puny selves. ๐Ÿ‘

Manifestly, Trump takes his internal imagination as fact. Deluded.

Have you ever gone through a turnstile inside a city bus when you pay your fare?

It's unthinkable in the US and most of Europe, but routine in middle-wealth countries like Colombia.

To keep the service running, every peso matters.

Alastair Crooke seems to suggest that this could be a real turning point (in a negative way) for both America and Israel. They'll be much weakened in the end.

I'm reading that America & Israel are running out of munitions, and that's been part of the Iranian plan.

Also Alastair Cooke's position is that Iran has been using up its old weaponry to drain Israel's and America's interceptors. Then Iran will start sending its advanced weaponry.

We'll see.

The Trump regime lies. It especially cannot be trusted to be truthful at all re #IranWar. For eg, #Iran took out expensive radar systems in the Gulf region, essentially blinding ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ & ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ. But itโ€™s more serious still. Ignorance of Iran & underestimation of consequences, will ultimately cost us all.

The gross arrogance & underestimation of Iranian capacity, could be costly for decades to the West, US in particular, but catastrophic for #Israel. Netanyahu & Israeli far right extremists, are endangering Israel like no other Israeli leadership has done before. #Iran is prepared for years of war.

Trumpโ€™s massive miscalculation on Iran is going to hit hard. The NYT spoke to US officials who say Iran is fighting back more effectively than the Trump administration expected, with stronger military capability and continuing attacks on US targets.

More American casualties are likely, they say.

This story has everything, a focus on desal that led to overlooking other water sources, a city manager making $400K/yr saying donโ€™t panic, a former water system manager saying residents should absolutely panic, and magical thinking: โ€œThe last hope to avert disaster was a 20- to 30-inch rainfall.โ€
