Audre Lorde's "master's tools" speech was not about tech platforms. So why does tech discourse keep citing it as if it were? I write about what happens when a Black feminist theorist's words get borrowed, stripped of context, and made to do work they were never meant to do.

The last paragraph outlines the most important step: switch to a plant-based diet, or at least eat as much plant-based as you can.

Also: vote for a party that has YOUR interests at heart, not the interests of big businesses and the oil and animal agriculture industries. Campaign against war. Support small/local farms and food producers.

Or: grow your own food, if you can.

Articolo che fa un quadro sconcertante anche se immaginabile della bolla AI e del suo scoppio imminente accellerato dalla crisi dello stretto di Hormutz.

Something a bit worrying to note about using Ai in healthcare.

I’ve had two specialist appointments recently, both using ai to transcribe. Both sent report letters with inaccuracies about my diagnoses and past medical history. Even my GP was like, “huh, that directly contradicts what I put in the referrals.”

I have followed up both and requested amendments (which were done) but if I hadn’t, these inaccuracies could have significantly damaged ongoing care, further treatment or insurance claims.

Human error has always been a factor, but both doctors were clearly using the ai software and assuming what it spat out was correct. They made no other notes during the appointments to cross-reference and double check. This is how Very Bad Things can happen.
