@newscientist um... how about not training on data randomly extracted from a known-toxic media?
Then again, if the data is to be vetted, who gets to do the vetting? Clergy? Lawyers? Politicians? Academics? Mom?
Better idea: instead of building sociopathic superstition machines, let's build reasoning that recognizes probable consequences of utterances before uttering?
Mind you, the Age of Enlightenment didn't have a great track record at this either...
Meta just laid off 10,000 people.
This follows 11,000 job cuts back in November—now totalling 21,000 people within a year.
Additionally, 5,000 jobs will now go unfilled.
While I heavily dislike Meta and everything it stands for, it gives me no pleasure when people lose their livelihoods.
While Twitter's difficulties gets more press, Meta's disarray is worth paying attention to—especially since they hope to eventually join the Fediverse.

We all use DNA, even tardigrades, yet the world's largest organism is still only 600 hectares.
"We seek to hold the sky, but we cannot."
As Amy Goodman reminds us, when Martin Luther King gave his famous sermon "Beyond Vietnam" at Riverside church in New York in April 1967, calling for the US to stop the war in Vietnam and undergo a "revolution" of values, he was denounced by Life magazine as a demagogue and the Washington Post as undermining his civil rights cause.
But Dr. King turned out to be right about the war, and the media turned out to be wrong.

Today is the federal holiday that honors Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. He was born January 15, 1929. He was assassinated April 4, 1968, at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee. He was just 39 years old. While Dr. King is primarily remembered as a civil rights leader, he also championed the cause of the poor and organized the Poor People’s Campaign to address issues of economic justice. Dr. King was also a fierce critic of U.S. foreign policy and the Vietnam War. We play his “Beyond Vietnam” speech, which he delivered at New York City’s Riverside Church on April 4, 1967, as well as his last speech, “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop,” that he gave on April 3, 1968, the night before he was assassinated.
