There are whole swathes of people who only got access to higher ed within the recent past. And now that they have, we’re told to pivot to letting systems made by billionaires handle all the thinking for us.

Becoming a billionaire should be a terrible thing. We should actively legislate extreme punishment and full asset forfeiture for when you hit that level. Force them to give huge swathes back in terror of losing everything.
Then we should start lowering the bar.

The immigration bill she will undoubtedly support which is set to harm vast swathes of immigrants, including refugees and all of their loved ones of course seems suspiciously absent from this analysis.
A by-election which became engulfed in an unpleasant race row presented its victor as an example of all that is good and the potential benefits of immigration. www.scotsman.com/news/opinion...
Why the defeat of Greens' golden boy Zack Polanski is such good news for Britain
The election of a British Somali who came to the UK as a child refugee is a victory over racism and division

#BBC still explaining that Zionism simply means 'the right of Israel to exist'. Far from it: #Zionism is the belief that only one ethnic group has the right to occupy large swathes of the Middle East and that all other groups may be annihilated, displaced or subjugated. It is the epitome of racism.

Just saw a takeaway that was basically "if you can prove AI isn't conscious you will have basically solved large swathes of philosophy" and it's just so fucking tiring.

I think it's useful as a bellweather for public mood, but corporations do employ vast swathes of people.
So if they're feeling social pressure to behave in was that benefit LGBTQ+ employees... that's good?

Every Heron can lay claim to vast swathes of open space. This bit of the Thames belongs solely to this singular Grey Heron. And it will enforce that fiercely.

And I think it’s deeply troubling that great swathes of non-white people, women, LGBTQA+ people have been driven out of it by this abuse and you apparently haven’t even noticed. I can only assume that’s because you either don’t care about everyone else, or you agree with the vitriol we get.

Capitalism is eating itself and bleeding all over the floor while the traditional game dev industry in North America and large swathes of Europe was hollowed out by bloodthirsty sociopaths. In short, kids don't like Roblox. Roblox is just there, whereas video games were kinda yanked away from them.

I'm giving a talk tomorrow about art and AI. I've been doing a lot of thinking about what preceded this moment of AI slop and angry artists. How did we get here?
I think that over the last 20 years we've surrendered huge swathes of our creativity and communication to the logic of screens.

Why in 2026 are we using psychiatric patients (INCLUDING CHILDTEN AND YOUNG PEOPLE, FFS) to give these private tech firms huge swathes of health data? Why does getting the consent of patients seem unimportant?

Your reminder that Yandex is used across vast swathes of the former Soviet world. I think bombing Yandex is smart but let's not ignore the millions and millions of people outside Russia that this impacts.
Russia’s digital services are facing widespread outages after Ukrainian drone strikes knocked out three of the largest data centers owned by Russian tech giant Yandex within several days: arstechnica.visitlink.me/EUYbm5
Russia was not ready for the data center war it started with Ukraine
Russian bloggers warn Russia’s hyper-centralized digital economy is vulnerable.

Vast swathes of Central Asia also run on Yandex! I've never lived in Russia, I've never set foot in Russia past an airport! But I've lived on the Russophone internet for years. Yandex is everything.

Criticism is great, feedback is awesome! But going after individuals with praise and idolisation- while attacking swathes of others who are usually lower on the chain- yet are foundational is... Mm.

Hey so are they still allowing the production of child porn? Are they stopping that guy who is trying to doxx a woman who got gang raped? Are they doing anything to clear up the vast swathes of disinformation that’s cooked up daily?
