I’ve been running around asking tech execs and academics if language was the same as intelligence for over a year now - and, well, it isn’t. @benjaminjriley.bsky.social explains how the bubble is built on ignoring cutting-edge research into the science of thought www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

How Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines marked a whole generation Days before the sequel, let’s revisit this gem from 2004 and how it helped shape the dark subcultures of its time.

Important:
➡️ Wordpress.com is ❌ NOT the same as Wordpress.org ⬅️

When someone suggests to you Wordpress for your website, 9/10 they mean a self-hosted Wordpress.ORG (google it if you don’t know what it is)
If you want to blog about your hobby, a free account on the .COM is fine. Less hustle.

I suppose due to the scandals (predators against children) that have been happening in this platform. Many parents would be thrilled if it stopped existed tomorrow. I’m a mom of a child who plays Roblox.
