10 years ago they told us AI and self-driving cars were going to wipe out up to half of all jobs. They didn’t.

But while everyone was talking about whether they would, companies rolled out algorithmic management and used digital tech as a pretext to reclassify workers as contractors.

Somehow developers have been convinced that the future of computing is to leave their computers busy doing something with a swarm of "agents", going to sleep, and then accepting —without reviewing— the garbage output after they wake up the next morning.

Aký silný je protiruský sentiment v ČR?

Slabší, než by sa zdalo. Dojem jeho univerzálnosti je vytvorený konsenzom politickej a novinárskej elity. Ako ukazujú nové prieskumy, rozdiel medzi "pro-ruským" Slovenskom a "pro-západným" Českom je zhruba 10%.

What a great day for Vladimir Putin! I can picture him in the Kremlin, watching the EU & the UK play dumb while Trump trashes Int. Law, their media reporting Maduro's abduction as an 'arrest'. I bet he's thinking: Should I also detain Zelensky and subject him to Russian justice?

Neocons wanted violent regime change in Venezuela. Trump is giving them that.

Neocons wanted violent regime change in Iran. Trump is giving them that.

Neocons wanted blind support for Israel. Trump is given them that.

Tell me again how Trump is different to the neocons?

"how can we use this technology ethically"

"but how do we use it in a prosocial and democratic way"

Digitálne projekty SNG boli malý zázrak. Pár ľudí tam za tri groše robilo fantastickú robotu, ktorú by inde vyvážili zlatom. A trúfli si to robiť opensource.

A aj toto pochovala ministerka Šimkovičová a návrat späť nevidím reálne.

Even a system that calls itself a democracy can become an oligarchy if power becomes concentrated in the hands of a few very wealthy people.

How Facebook restricted news in Palestinian territories Palestinian news outlets have seen a steep drop in audience engagement since October 2023.

So while Israel was busy killing Palestinian journalists in Gaza, Facebook and Instagram were busy killing any chance that surviving Palestinian journalists could tell audiences about the genocide.

Death feels imminent for 96% of children in Gaza, study finds Needs assessment by NGO reveals the huge psychological impact of the war with Israel on young people

"Death feels imminent for 96% of children in Gaza, study finds." And yet the civilised West is doing precisely nothing to bring about a ceasefire as a prelude to saving these hundreds of thousands of children who now live on death row. www.theguardian.com/world/2024/d...

Israel has invaded Syria - with Western complicity This is a blatant land grab - and an attempt to hobble any new Syrian government - by an Israeli state cheered on by Western politicians and media.

Israel has invaded Syria.

The failure of the Western media to refer to an invasion is nothing other than disinformation.

A lie by omission is still a lie. You are being lied to.

některý z těch samých lidí, který vám budou znechuceně ukazovat případy toho, jak jsou palestinské děti vychovávané k nenávisti, budou krčit rameny nad militarizací izraelské společnosti s tím, že to přece nejde jinak

I’d like some clarification from @bsky.app on whether they plan to introduce advertising.

An @npr.org profile in November said “Officials at Bluesky say it has no plans of ever relying on ads.” But last week, @jay.bsky.team told @techcrunch.com advertising hasn’t been ruled out.
