Very interesting page I've stumbled upon today.

Campaign for Responsible Leadership in NHS Wales โ€” Because the NHS is too important to be run like a private empire.

Exposing leadership failures, financial waste, and accountability avoidance at Digital Health and Care Wales

As my wife ate her porridge this morning she asked "what exactly are oats?" and it turned out to be an interesting question because of Vavilonian mimicry.

i think the best way to use LLMs is this: don't type into the AI chatbot's input field. instead, write a description of the problem in a text file. work through the specifics of what you want to accomplish, and how you'd go about doing it. once you've got a few hundred words of ideas and planning, you can go back to the empty, unused AI tab and close it. then begin doing the work yourself. consider sending your notes to friends or experts. when you're done, remember to thank them for their help!

Sometimes I think about how to easiest way to fail an interview for a leadership position is to say you will do end user research as step one of any plan.

I wonder about the people Mozilla didnโ€™t hire.

"We use debian, that should be age verification enough"
Being an Evertonian is being stressed when you're 3-0 up at home with 10 minutes to play.

I truly hate the AI deepfakes, fake people, faked voices, fake resurrected necromancy of real people, digital possession.

I hate it so much. Itโ€™s grotesque and literally dehumanizing real people to humanize programmed non-living code and deceive life.

#PSA: If someone says they accidentally reported you, it's a scam.

If someone says you need to verify your Mastodon account, it's a scam.

If someone says you need to change the email address on your account, it's a scam.

If someone tries to lure you off-platform to Discord or Telegram, it's a scam.

If someone jumps into your replies or DMs with a mutual aid request, it's a scam.

If someone from mastodon.social sends you an unsolicited DM, it's a scam.

Telltale signs of a scam:

- wants you to move off-site
- wants you to change account settings
- wants you to click something
- unsolicited private interactions
- new account
- under ~20 followers and over ~5:1 follow ratio
- sense of urgency
- appeals to your compassion
- piggybacks on a trending post or event

I'm slowly moving over all of my various blogs to one site because Blogger, tumblr and Medium are all shit.

Here's a post about what I think about Zack Polanski.
