In my culture (en_GB) this reads as heavy sarcasm.

But in theirs (en_INT?) I suspect it was heavily focus-grouped and found to be perceived as sincere.

We call that syrupy sweet here in the US South. It just goes on and on.

“Hope begins with the ability to imagine alternatives. And there is always an alternative.” - part of a brilliant graduation address by Cory Doctorow ( @pluralistic ) to York University.

A great piece about science fiction, optimism, pessimism, fatalism, humane agency, Luddites, tech bros, inevitability, and the need to always seek alternatives… and to find hope.

Read the whole thing: https://doctorow.medium.com/there-is-always-an-alternative-e55fd414d1fd

@danyork

"Optimism is the belief that things will get better, no matter what we do.
Pessimism is the belief that things will get worse, no matter what we do.

Both deny human agency, that we can intervene to change things.

The belief that nothing will change — that nothing can change — is the wrecker’s most powerful weapon. After all, if you can convince people that nothing can be done, they won’t try to do anything." - Cory Doctorow's NY Univ. graduation address

Great read!

Whatever is going on right now in , I do note this: is now useless at tracking this. Junk accounts everywhere, no verified accounts, swarms of sketchy bluechecks.

The ONE thing that place was good at was breaking global news. But not now.

See everyone here tonight.

Playing around with focus. Which is your favorite?

#Bloomscrolling #Flowers #iPhone #Zinnias #Perspective #Photography

Tall pink Zinnia in focus in the foreground with other smaller Zinnias out of focus in the background. Both images are the same but have a difference in focus.

@quixoticgeek I agree. The other one is less interesting.

Thanks for voting!

This is (again) absolutely worth reading, even if just for this quote from the article:

By @pluralistic

“If, on the other hand, the problem is that AI systems just suck and shouldn’t be trusted to fly drones, or drive cars, or decide who gets bail, or identify online hate-speech, or determine your creditworthiness or insurability, then all those AI companies are out of business.”

@avuko

"For those sky-high valuations to remain intact until the investors can cash out, we need to think about AI as a powerful, transformative technology, not as a better autocomplete.
We literally just sat through this movie, and it sucked. Remember when blockchain was going to be worth trillions, and anyone who didn’t get in on the ground floor could “have fun being poor?”

Noticed you got lazy added them all in one post lol!

It was taking me forever to post my ideas one at a time with the hashtags 🤣. But it is fun to read em that way.

Still have Batterline/Borderline in my head. 🎶 🤣 Fun end to the day.

TFW so called Democratic voices on here tell everyone they are not doing it right. Not working hard enough, long enough, with the correct mindset and focus. Not loving the leader enough and all he is doing. It's exhausting.

Hot tip: we are all worried about the global (and local) dumpster fire and how it affects all we love. But we don't dump on every reply or comment that we disagree with. Jeez, step away first and unplug for a bit.

TED Rant over.
