If you aren’t using AI, you run a very real risk of falling behind in the race to produce voluminous mediocrity while slowly forgetting how to do your own job.
@louie oh is that what a11y means?? I always wondered.
> students are even using AI to cheat in ethics classes
This captures nicely how we (humanity) approach ethics in 2025. 😐

Is Everyone Using AI to Cheat Their Way Through College?
It's not just the students: Multiple AI platforms now offer tools to leave AI-generated feedback on students' essays. Which raises the possibility that AIs are now evaluating AI-generated papers, reducing the entire academic exercise to a conversation between two robots — or maybe even just one.

Samtiden är åt helvete men våren är vacker.

Love this clip from @molly0xfff's Fediverse House talk:
"Imagine for a moment a web where communities can create their own spaces while still simultaneously and seamlessly interoperating with others. Think of it like a network of independent neighborhoods, each with its own character and rules, but with shared community spaces, art galleries and libraries.
In this web, you control what you create and decide how it's shared.The algorithms that shape that experience, they're transparent and customizable. You can peek under the hood or tweak them to your liking or replace them entirely if they're not serving your needs. If you're sharing a space with a group of others and you disagree with how they run that space, you can leave, but you can take your work and your community with you.
"This isn't just a dream. This is already happening. Take Mastodon and the broader Fediverse, where millions of people are building communities that talk to each other across servers and platforms."

> this side of the Internet
Which side is that?
I have a feeling that I may be mostly on the other side 🙂
By the way, are there distinctly two sides, or more than two?
@dln du är Mr. Creosote! Tänkt dig nu att John Cleese kommer in som kypare och erbjuder:
"And finally, monsieur, a wafer-thin mint"
"Oh, sir, it's only a tiny, little, thin one."
"It's only wafer thin."

EU Commission VP #TeresaRibera:
"We are now at a time in history where the power of certain corporations, especially in the digital realm, might be the largest ever in history at the expense of our social cohesion, our mental health and our democracies."

@dequbed this is about discrete probability which I guess is at least one part of the math behind, I saw it mentioned in an intro lecture about cryptography:

Det största problemet skulle jag tro är att metoden "proof of work" (som är bäst på att ge ett system som är permissionless) lätt leder till slöseri med resurser. På högerkanten är det populärt att strunta i klimatförändringar och sånt så de bryr sig inte särskilt mycket om det, men för vänstern är det annorlunda.
@samuel jag brukar lyssna på podden "Monero Talk" https://www.monerotalk.live/ som är intressant.
Skulle säga att hela grejen med "kryptovaluta" är något som egentligen har i sig stora och bra möjligheter men det har blivit så mycket bedrägerier kring sånt att det är väldigt stor risk att vad man än gör så kommer det att uppfattas som en scam. Det gör att man behöver tänka sig väldigt noga för när det gäller vad man gör och hur man kommunicerar det, för folk är (med rätta) väldigt misstänksamma.
> more importantly, postmarketOS is a way of reducing eWaste
I firmly disagree about the relative importance of things here.
In my opinion, the more important issue is reducing our dependence on Google.
The most important thing that makes postmarketOS great is that it allows people to be more independent from Google. Google's dominance in the world (in which Android plays a big part) is a bigger threat to humanity than eWaste.
Därför är Sverigedemokraterna ett nazistiskt parti

Make it open, or else I will write "ni" repeatedly until you obey!
