In reality, modern socialism often looks less like Soviet central planning and more like a robust safety net combined with democratic governance. It’s universal healthcare in Sweden, tuition-free universities in Finland, and public housing in Vienna. #socialism #nordic #peoplewelfare #healthybalance

LinkedIn's "Sounds like AI Slop" feature is trending everywhere, but has anyone noticed in a week that the mobile UI now feels remarkably Reddit-like? 🧐 It's taken some getting used to. Right now, desktop feels much easier for browsing both platforms. #LinkedIn #UX #Reddit #AISlop #UI #trending

Adding the "Seems like AI slop" reporting option on LinkedIn is not only brilliant, it's probably also an act of desperate self-defence against the volume of slop on this platform.
It's legit, this is a screencap I just took. #NoAI

Okay, but seriously, what's with the em dash hate online these days?
Authors and journalists are doing more first-person (hello 2010s blogging) and embracing "mistakes" in writing to prove they're not chatbots. There's even an “anti-Grammarly" app that leaves in typos and signs off "sent from my iPhone" to create more authenticity: www.wired.com/story/more-t...

Can AI ethicsts effectively challenge Big Tech while relying on Big Tech's platforms, infrastructure and employment?
If their goal is to change the system, what happens when the most effective way to spread your message reinforces the very system? #AI #ethics #dilemma #BigTech #digitalplatforms
