This. The right have always been better at social media comms (not honest comms, just better at the game).
After the first round elections, Congressman André Janones created a WhatsApp channel titled “Lula’s Army.” It ballooned to 10 million people following his commands on how to behave online to counteract Meta’s far-right-favouring algorithms. The right knows how to use socials. We must learn, too.

Ah the myth of the "brand new jobs".

The difference is mechanization created a supply chain around the mechanization.

Cognitive automation isn't going to generate supply chains around AI - the AI companies own all of that themselves.

If people don't want to take a drug to target a cancer because they see "MRNA", well, just let 'em fight the cancer without it.

If a job is mostly reading emails, extracting information from emails, updating spreadsheets, record keeping in an ERP, CRM or IMS, those jobs are cooked.

People will tolerate floods and droughts. People won't tolerate power outages, not in this day and age.

It was a short article. He specifically said he *didn't* mean revolutionary, and he provided a gloss for evolutionary (roughly he meant a leap from human like the chimp-to-human leap)
Why be in the radio disagreeing with a 1000-word article you haven't read? #bbcwato

Netanyahu: "they (Arabs) are stealing the election from us"

translation: 'they're not voting for me and I'm going to lose'

Mass job displacement isn't going to happen in just a few years, guest is not thinking long term.

Businesses are tasking current employees to help digitize their workflows. They're hardly going to lay off the very people with the knowledge to do that before they've digitized them.

Many of the current workers who are digitizing their own work will be retained until they naturally move on or retire. If they are replaced it will be by someone who maintains the digitization, not to take over the original role. One person might oversee many digitized workflows.

It's more that Macron knows there are no options worth discussing. He doesn't want to waste time.

He doesn't want France to end up in the state Greece was in. In the end Greece had to accept change.

Opening Jackdaw won't increase our emissions - it'll just substitute for a particular amount of gas from further away. It's just an indication of a wrong turn.

Which Pathfinders are we talking about? Is it the Parachute Regiments Pathfinders. Basically the Paras you can introduce to polite company. Or is it the new Rangers ?

Ironically Meta owns WhatsApp.

WhatsApp doesn't have ads for political entities to exploit.

And right wing agitators can be easily identified and kicked out of a group.

Is that true for Jackdaw? I thought UK gas could go directly into use in the UK.

It's Rosebank that has to go on the open market isn't it.
