richardbadgeBack at the picket line early, in the fog. Hoping it clears and warms up, BUT delighted that I have a balloon strike monkey (to go with the jelly cat strike monkey)!

Irritated by any bio that includes the words “passionate about”. Come to think of it, irritated by bios.

The people refusing to use AI
Suzanne Bearne, May 5, 2025
Excerpt: "For Florence Achery, owner of Yoga Retreats & More, the environmental impact is one reason why she vows to stay away from AI.
" 'My initial reaction was that AI is soulless and is a contradiction with my business, which is all about human connection,' says Achery, based in London.
" 'However, I found out that the environmental impact was awful with all the energy consumption required to run the data centres. I don't think that people are aware of that.' "
GeePawHillHow old am I?
I'm so old I remember when Google search provided more value than surveillance advertising.
I'm so old I remember when an operating system was not considered an advertising platform.
I'm so old I remember when "Artificial Intelligence" was a serious enquiry filled with brilliant people, and not a scam machine populated by sleazebags.
I'm so old I remember when "user" didn't mean "product".
I'm so old I remember when "corporation" didn't mean "person".

DormouseIt's a name for a videogame virus, but from now on, I use the term "techrot" for AI generated garbage because it just fits so perfectly.
Help spread plz?
StefanoSo now that META has shutdown their fact checking algorithms I think it's really time to ditch them. Trying to bring some of my friends over to Mastodon and gently asking them if they'll adopt or switch over to @signalapp App but it's a tough sell. #metaexodus #dumpfacebook #instaenough

Molly WhiteWhite women are about to be the latest to learn that when you support fascists because "they'll go after other people and improve things for me", "other people" always shifts to include you eventually
(Tweet by Trump's new Undersecretary for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs)
White men who think you won't be next on the chopping block: I guarantee you have a lot more in common with the "other people" than you have with the people in power.
