@SocraticEthics EU **REALLY** needs to figure out how to expel Hungary from the EU. The current situation is untenable.

Big thread on Mastodon links being blocked on Twitter. Basically, it’s not the link - it’s text mentioning Mastodons paired with any link (even a link about something with no mastodons).
Specific phrasing matters and, notably, some obvious phrasing is not filtered out in a way that makes me question whether this is intentional on Twitter’s part.
@juddlegum is that prosecutable?
AI's aren't sentient. They can't "steal."
Programmers and institutions select the data with which to train the model. They take art and writing from artists and authors without credit or payment. The software then remixes and mimics what it is given.
Displacing agency by attributing intent to the AI is exactly how people and institutions erase human action in the creation of technology. It also leads to further perceptions of technology as acultural, unbiased, and, in essence, magical.
@jimstewartson VERY problematic indeed to put it mildly.
A really nice twitter thread on the news on #fusion progress.

Awesome news on fusion, and a good reason to continue to invest going forward: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/12/science/nuclear-fusion-energy-breakthrough.html
But its only one milestone on a long road to make it cheaper than fission and other clean firm generation sources.
It would establish one standard phrase to indicate when food is at its highest quality, and another to identify the date after which safety is a concern
It means more food is grown, transported, and refrigerated than needed — which creates carbon pollution
And when food rots in a landfill, it releases methane, a potent global warming gas.
So Gunders’s group is pushing for passage of a federal bill to regulate date labeling

Wear a mask not to get sick, not to protect hospital beds.
Yes, it is better to have a hospital bed if you need one, but it is much much better not to go there.
