Having to go to a food bank sticks with you
– it's time politicians knew about it
Amie, a town councillor and mother-of-two, had no choice but to use a food bank.
She’ll be joining more than 700 campaigners in Westminster on 18 June calling for urgent action against the rising tide of poverty in the UK
They are calling for an essentials guarantee,
which would help ensure universal credit provides enough to cover the essentials of life -- without having to g…

This was part of Stephen Colbert’s Monday monologue:
After playing clips of the Trump admin spokespeople parroting the party line about not being at war with Iran, but being at war with Iran’s nuclear weapons program, he added the following bit:
“Honey, NO! I’m not having an affair with Stacey, … but I am having an affair with some of Stacey’s parts.

Zohran Mamdani talking to an interviewer about the need for Jersey barriers and bollards, rather than flex delineators, to protect protected bike lanes. He mentions having to mourn a cyclist killed by a truck driver on Crescent Street in his district, specifically because flex delineators were the only protection provided, and after he had already raised this concern to DOT and been blown off.

Just saw this:
#AI can mean a lot of things these days, but lots of the popular meanings imply a bevy of harms that I definitely wouldn't feel are worth a cute fish game. In fact, these harms are so acute that even "just" playing into the AI hype becomes its own kind of harm (it's similar to blockchain in that way).
@… noticed that the authors claim the code base is 80% AI generated, which is a red flag because people with sound moral compasses wouldn't be using AI to "help" write code in the first place. The authors aren't by some miracle people who couldn't build this app without help, in case that influences your thinking about it: they have the skills to write the code themselves, although it likely would have taken longer (but also been better).
I was more interested in the fish-classification AI, and how much it might be dependent on datacenters. Thankfully, a quick glance at the code confirms they're using ONNX and running a self-trained neural network on your device. While the exponentially-increasing energy & water demands of datacenters to support billion-parameter models are a real concern, this is not that. Even a non-AI game can burn a lot of cycles on someone's phone, and I don't think there's anything to complain about energy-wise if we're just using cycles on the end user's device as long as we're not having them keep it on for hours crunching numbers like blockchain stuff does. Running whatever stuff locally while the user is playing a game is a negligible environmental concern, unlike, say, calling out to ChatGPT where you're directly feeding datacenter demand. Since they claimed to have trained the network themselves, and since it's actually totally reasonable to make your own dataset for this and get good-enough-for-a-silly-game results with just a few hundred examples, I don't have any ethical objections to the data sourcing or training processes either. Hooray! This is finally an example of "ethical use of neutral networks" that I can hold up as an example of what people should be doing instead of the BS they are doing.
But wait... Remember what I said about feeding the AI hype being its own form of harm? Yeah, between using AI tools for coding and calling their classifier "AI" in a way that makes it seem like the same kind of thing as ChatGPT et al., they're leaning into the hype rather than helping restrain it. And that means they're causing harm. Big AI companies can point to them and say "look AI enables cute things you like" when AI didn't actually enable it. So I'm feeling meh about this cute game and won't be sharing it aside from this post. If you love the cute fish, you don't really have to feel bad for playing with it, but I'd feel bad for advertising it without a disclaimer.

"If a billionaire bought one of your local haunts, renamed it, humiliated the employees, brought back many of the people who’d been banned for harassing other regulars, eliminated basic rules of decency, started having town halls with Republicans and a leader of the #AfD, taking your business elsewhere would be perfectly rational."

Oh, come on...
Can we please not make our cyclist-ridden country full of strange and untypical streets the testing ground for a manchild's misguided attempts at creating a technology he doesn't understand with a vast societal risk he doesn't respect.

Musk told investors that he expected the company's sales in Europe to increase once customers there are allowed to use the firm's self-driving software.

He said he expected the first approval to come in the Netherlands but that the firm also hoped to win sign-off from the European Union, despite it having a "kafkaesque" bureaucracy.

"Autonomy is the story," Musk said. "Autonomy is what amplifies the value [of the company] to stratospheric levels."

Seeing talk titles at #ic2s2 I can't be the only one, when reading LLM or AI, having to react with "oh, yet another one 🙄"? No disrespect to colleague's work, but the topic feels overhyped.. Not *everything* needs an LLM angle. #grinchmoment

Every company is undergoing an invisible reorg. You report to your boss but your boss reports to an #AI, offloading the job of management entirely onto a bot and then merely communicating its wishes back to the team.
This is the Nothing Manager, surrounded by #LLM tools to avoid having to interact with…

The only way Microsoft should be involved in a European Sovereign Tech Fund is if we fund it by taxing the living shit out of them.
But having them organise and influence it (and who gets funded by it), thereby de facto giving Microsoft EU taxpayer subsidies? Get the fuck out of here.
There are no words to describe how angry this attempt at corporate capture gets me when we’ve been working on sovereign tech in the EU for the past seven years with zero EU funding (not for lack of …

Had a blast!
By no means was this a pro show — we botched at least one Def Leppard song pretty badly — but it was really fun.

Just to disclose that I sold off my last few scraps of Bitcoin, after having mostly exited in 2017.
Also wanted to report that I used Newton - newton.co/ - and was quite impressed with them, on the KYC and due-diligence and security fronts, plus they *gasp* made it easy to turn Btc into ca…

We do need a European Sovereign Tech Fund, yes.
What we don’t need is Microsoft – a trillion-dollar surveillance capitalist from the US that peddles proprietary technology and is helping Israel carry out its genocide of the Palestinian people as we speak – having anything whatsoever to do with it.

Having gone through the paper a second time it's really weak. it's not presenting an actual argument but a gish gallop of random terms from random disciplines to be just boot licking.
