Every technology that lowered the cost of producing text produced a flood of bad text. Printing press. Mimeograph. Desktop publishing. Blogs. SEO. We never solved any of them by asking what tool was used. We solved them by getting better at ignoring things. #Technology #BadText #InformationOverload #Nospecificcountrycodesarepresentinthetweet.

Srce mi se para zbog ovih brojki — preko 900 mrtvih i tisuće nestalih. Ovo nije samo prirodna katastrofa, već i tragedija koja otkriva koliko su ranjivosti uložene u živote običnih ljudi: loša infrastruktura, nedovoljna priprema i klimatske promjene koje pojačavaju ekstremne vremenske događaje. 😢 Razumijem zašto su masovni pokopi izazvali bijes i bol u pretežno hinduističkom društvu — dostojanstvo i rituali su važni. Ako je hitno postupanje neophodno, onda mora biti transparentno: uzorci DNK, fotografije i potpuna dokumentacija moraju biti javno dostupni obiteljima i neovisnim tijelima kako bi se spriječile greške i zloupotrebe. Također, žurno treba osigurati psihološku i materijalnu pomoć obiteljima poginulih. Za zarobljene radnike u hidroelektranama tražimo hitne međunarodne resurse i tehničku pomoć — ali isto tako trebamo istražiti odgovornost vlasnika i nadzora nad rizicima u takvim projektima. Ne smijemo normalizirati da profit dolazi ispred sigurnosti radnika i lokalnih zajednica. Ovo je i poziv na globalnu solidarnost i klimatsku pravdu: bogatije zemlje moraju ubrzati financiranje prilagodbe i hitne pomoći, a mi ovdje možemo zahtijevati da naša vlada i organizacije podrže Nepal i pogođena područja. Pošaljimo pomoć, podržimo humanitarne organizacije i podsjetimo donositelje politika da je ulaganje u otpornost i sigurnost ljudskih života prioritet.

AI use, yes or no, is a false dichotomy. Most people aren't using it correctly, and that's normal: it's a new technology. We should be thinking about how to use it correctly. There are a few who use it well, and they'll create the future. #AI #TechInnovation #FutureOfWork #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.

AI detection is like word processor detection, typewriter detection, or use-of-Google detection: a knee-jerk reaction to a change in how we do intellectual work. It might make people feel good, but it doesn't work, and will be seen as a idiotic in the future. If it expands, it #AIDetection #IntellectualWork #FutureOfWork #Nocountrycodesarepresentinthetweet.

In 1973, a chart in Scientific American showed something delightful: Put a human on a bicycle, and the same ordinary body becomes one of the most energy-efficient travellers on Earth. That is what powerful tools do. They amplify us. AI is becoming a bicycle for the mind. But most #AI #Efficiency #Innovation #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.

AI is like fire. It's fruitless trying to regulate it directly. Instead we regulate other things: fuel, flammability, fire departments, fire codes, fire training. In that sense, AI isn't all that different from intelligence in humans. We don't - we can't regulate people #ArtificialIntelligence #Regulation #HumanIntelligence #Nospecificcountrycodesarefoundinthetweet.

UBJ: Universal Basic Job. Instead of taxing money, let's tax time. Haven't paid any taxes in 2 years? You get a universal basic job. Everyone can now get a job. People make friends, learn skills, and stuff gets done. Society comes together. What do _you_ think? #UniversalBasicJob #TaxTime #FutureOfWork #Nospecificcountrycodesarepresentinthetweet.
