<<“As Prime Minister of Denmark, I worked closely with the then President George W. Bush.”
“It’s been painful to conclude that we have to reduce our dependence on the United States, but that is the state of affairs today”, he added.>>
-- Nato's former chief

Former NATO secretary general Anders Fogh Rasmussen says the hostility US President Trump holds for NATO allies is 'painful' to see. He says Europe needs to move fast to become independent from US security architecture, and, where possible, make a preference for European weapons over US-made. #EuropeToday
It’s really something that the same people who only few years ago insisted you had to wear some idiotic epic leet haxxor hairshirt and use only vim and C to be a “real” programmer, now say anyone who doesn’t use LLMs is going to be “left behind.”
We really raised a generation of programmers actively hostile to any kind of sophisticated tooling. Half the stuff I see people brag about “coding assistants” doing for them was stuff an IDE could two decades ago, deterministically.
It is in the interest of _every_ human society on the planet to guard against the humanity-eradicating algorithms being sold in as "the future".

🧑🏫 Sweden goes back to basics, swapping screens for books in the classroom

If you're choosing a Mastodon server to join or move to, it's really important that it is safe and reliable.
As far as I know, the only server lists which have safety and reliability requirements are https://fedi.garden and https://joinmastodon.org/servers (please let me know if there are others!). These lists are manually curated by humans.
Automated non-curated server lists are much longer but do not have any safety or reliability rules, so they aren't a good way of finding a server.
Deepfakes, hallucinations, propaganda machines... AI's first major casualty isn't your job. It's truth itself. Thank you for considering sharing.
