- Comment on What do you recommend I carry in my first wallet? 6 days ago:
In my experience, as little as possible.
The more you pack into it, the more you carry around, the higher the risk if it’s lost, or worse, stolen, not to mention the more it affects wear and tear on your clothing.
Less is more!

- Comment on How the stability of oil prices affected the decisions about transportation 2 weeks ago:
This is episode 3 of a four part series about our ability to predict the future based on the past, using letters written in 1959 as a way to unearth what specifically makes this so hard.
Outside these four episodes, the program itself discusses many different aspects of life and society, it explores preconceived ideas and dogs into journalistic myths and misconceptions.
Highly recommended!

- Comment on Tech Workers Coalition 101 - Onboarding & Overview event Feb 10th 3 weeks ago:
Why do you see this as USA only?
Because the announcement doesn’t use UTC to announce the event and there’s absolutely no chance that anyone outside the US knows when some random timezone is, or if daylight savings is active in that timezone or not at the time of the event.
The announcement also tells me that the organisation is run out of the USA, not a place universally known for its inclusivity or global consideration. Reinforced by a text only imagine with no alt text.
I think a tech workers coalition is an interesting and potentially useful idea, but the announcement doesn’t even contain a URL to the organisation.
Which leads to my conclusion, a USA only affair.
I’d be delighted to be wrong, but that’s what the announcement conveyed to me.

- Comment on ChatGPT could prioritize sponsored content as part of ad strategy — sponsored content could allegedly be given preferential treatment in LLM’s responses, OpenAI to use chat data to deliver highly personalized results 1 month ago:
So … now we have plausible gibberish … also known as Autocorrect on Steroids … that includes corporate sponsorship… seems like we’re moving closer to the true meaning of advertising with every iteration.
Next we’ll be asked to pay for this feature … oh wait.
I can’t wait until the Assumed Intelligence bubble finally bursts and takes with it some of the largest companies in the world … perhaps this is how we finally address climate change.
