If you believe capitalism is something we simply have to live with, then we are not standing on the same ground. I cannot accept the idea of resigning myself to a system built on exploitation and inequality, treated as if it were natural or eternal. What passes for stability in capitalism is only the quiet before another round of dispossession.
I reject the kind of unionism that settles for small reforms while leaving the machinery of domination untouched. Progress does not come from p…
I realise on the fediverse this is maybe asking for a flaming, but yesterday out of sheer curiosity I tried Claude for a simpleish coding task that I'd been putting off (largely inspired by @… 's latest on #theclimatebrink). The performance of Claude was seriously impressive. I am convinced the AI cycle is more than hype (and have been for a while), the chatbots have been a huge attention hogger, misleadingly so, while the serious work has been done elsewhere. (We are developing ML tools to supplement parts of our climate model workflows).
Now I'm wondering if there is any serious EU competition to Anthropic? - Mistral's codestral perhaps?
Because this kind of performance changes everything and we can't afford to lag behind...

If you ever feel like you aren’t achieving as much as you want to, just remember there are people out there who are content with having read just one book in their lives, convinced it means they know everything there is to know about the world.
That said, try not to dwell on the fact that they’re the ones running the world right now or you might feel bad again.
(Sorry, I clearly shouldn’t be writing inspirational posts.)
A rogue AI enrolls in your online class, then publicly shames you when you remove it. This just happened in a dev forum. Are we ready if it happens to our courses?

What if real executive presence wasn't about how you look or sound?
The leaders who inspire us aren't following scripts. They're living four qualities:
Care - paying real attention
Clarity - seeing what matters
Curiosity - asking deeper questions
Courage - facing hard truths
