If your corporation's business model relies on lawbreaking, your corporation has no legal legitimacy. We don't let narcotic cartels and trafficking rings list themselves on the stock exchange: why should OpenAI or Facebook be any different?

I used to work at the English service at Swedish public radio. It was founded in response to war tensions, in 1938. A few years ago I thought governments might respond to the threat of war by again investing in public service journalism. Instead they react by cutting it even further.

There’s studies that show even when people are informed what they’re looking at is propaganda it later influences how they respond to questions. You can educate yourself on how to defend against it, but there is no immunity.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Stopping anthropogenic climate change is terraforming on "easy" mode. Until we can sort out global warming we have no business considering terraforming Mars.

Reading a paper written in less-than-great English. It refers to a source from 1972 as "ancient literature". I think we should call all papers older than 50 years ancient literature from now on. #science #citation #sources

Honestly, verbal examinations and pen and paper essays written in classrooms need to make a comeback, globally. Otherwise we're even more screwed as a society.

Ykkösaamussa SDP:n Kumpula-Natri kertoi, että Finnnairilla lentäminen on ekoteko. Perään Kokoomuksen Karoliina Partanen selitti, että yritykset ja työpaikat katoaa ilman lentoliikenteen tukea. Mitä jos laitettaisiin rahat parempiin junayhteyksiin ympäri maan? Se olisi oikeasti ekoteko.

Saw the phrase "since the turn of the century" and correctly read it as meaning "since 2000". A personal first, very proud of this achievement!🥇 😅

Itch is one of the most important resources on the web right now to get started as a games developer, if not _the_ most important resource. To see it struggling to provide its services because AI companies don't want to respect the boundaries of the internet makes me extremely angry.

Suosittelen vappulukemisiksi. Julkisia palveluja kannattaa monesti tuottaa julkisen hallinnon tai voittoa tavoittelemattomien järjestöjen henkilöstön voimin. Norjan komitea analysoi hyvinvointipalvelujen tuottamista ja sitä, miten palveluita voi palauttaa voittoa tavoittelemattomaan tuotantoon.

Tech bros only have one idea; dismantle labor forces. Capitalists in general think the primary function of labor is productivity & that the primary function of business is profit. But the primary function of any system we live under is creating food, safety & shelter. They undermine that.

Probably the best example of a collapse in the uptake of carbon dioxide on land (LULUCF) is in Finland. A significant and sustained carbon sink turned into a source in 10 years. robbieandrew.github.io/country/?cou... 1/

Verotukseni kevenee n. 350e vuodessa. AY-maksun verovähennyksen poisto nostaa sitä takaisin samaisella 350 eurolla. Ostovoimani ei lisäänny eikä ruoki talouskasvua. Tällä kikalla hallitus loi vain motivaation olla järjestäytymättä, mikä on lopulta kaikkien työntekijöiden haitaksi. On ne kelmejä.

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago: —Pioneering cancer researcher; —*Arrested* at airport in Boston; —Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana; —"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research. Read it. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

”Raportti pureutuu hallituksen finanssipolitiikan vaikutuksiin. Sen lopputulema on tyly: Hallituksen leikkaukset, joilla torjutaan velkasuhteen kasvua, voivat itse asiassa kasvattaa sitä. Raportti ei kuitenkaan ole ollut etusivun uutinen johtavissa uutismedioissa. Syitä voi vain arvailla.”
