- Comment on Tech Workers Coalition 101 - Onboarding & Overview event Feb 10th 3 days 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.

So … USA tech workers only?

- 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 3 weeks 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.

AFAIK Google owns the vast majority of advertising online and is the one making all the money.

Perhaps we should treat our politicians like athletes and expect a top performance free of doping.

How about drug testing all the politicians every week?

As it happens, the ABC is already available on DAB+, so in some ways it’s a step backwards 😇

- Comment on Is Baofeng flagrantly lying to the FCC and endangering users? A deep dive 1 month ago:
That’s very interesting.
A little while ago we tested a bunch of radios for their spurious emissions. Until this post I was unaware that these radios were not tested by the FCC and that it appears that this is also true for other amateur transceivers.
