🌲Ed Sheeran explains to Louis Theroux that he dislikes private jets and prefers trains because "I like the environment, I like trees." We know that this type of messaging from celebrities is hugely impactful. We need far more of this from more stars. As posted by @nowthisimpact.bsky.social

My question for all the Dem's expressing outrage at the treatment of Padilla is, "Yes, and...?" Responding to fascism with the floor speeches and press releases that barely make a dent in a functioning democracy is criminal fecklessness and dereliction of duty.

The sea is being emptied of fish, also wiping out most other wildlife in the process, to feed us. The land is being emptied of ecosystems, and the wildlife they contain, for livestock to feed us. We have ways of feeding ourselves that DON'T require emptying the planet of wildlife. Let's do it.

AIs don't "hallucinate" because they are not conscious. They make errors. If your laptop stops working properly, you wouldn't say it was hallucinating. Language matters. They want us to see AIs as conscious, thinking, and therefore independent, to deflect attention from those programming them.
