Wat misschien kan werken: GL-PvdA, D66 en CDA vormen een mooie coalitie: groen, sociaal, democratisch en fatsoenlijk 🇳🇱 🌍

Laten we die mafklappers van P-VV-D extreemrechts liggen, in de marge 👍

Oh, en spijtoptanten van NSC en BBB mogen kiezen tussen GL-PvdA, D66 of CDA 🚀

Hello all. As many of you know, I've been writing BLOOD IN THE MACHINE: The Newsletter for months, but I've been on the fence about going all-in. Recent events have made the call easier.

Elon Musk, the Silicon Valley oligarchs and their AI are taking over. I want to do all I can to push back. I hope you'll join me, and I'm asking for your support.

The tech oligarchs and their AI are taking over. Let's fight back.

Alright, I’m really doing this thing. Support Blood in the Machine and fearless independent tech journalism.

In sight and sound. Scientists are bringing climate science to the streets.

Today we demonstrate again in The Hague against the ±40 billion euros per year the fossil fuel industry receives in subsidies in the Netherlands.

The science is clear, it's time to act.

Binnen zicht en gehoor. Wetenschappers brengen klimaatwetenschap naar de straten.

Vandaag demonstreren we opnieuw in Den Haag tegen de ±40 miljard euro per jaar die de fossiele industrie in Nederland aan subsidies ontvangt.

De wetenschap is duidelijk, het is tijd voor actie!

A12-blokkade | 28 oktober 2025 | Stop Fossiele Subsidies

€39,4 - 46,4 miljard aan fossiele subsidies naar grote vervuilende bedrijven. De crisis is nu en wij kunnen én moeten samen het tij keren!

I’m planning to explore, both theoretically and practically, ways to make ChatGPT, and its ilk, into a (passive) *tool*, rather than as a (faux active) *agent*. Like a calculator, but for words; it doesn’t “talk” to you, doesn’t engage in “conversation”; it just gives answers. Does any of you know of such scholarship?
De rechter geeft Extinction Rebellion gelijk: geen last onder dwangsom voor rebellen in Haarlem. Na twee jaar oordeelt de rechtbank dat de burgemeester onterecht dwangsommen oplegde. [1/5]
