@janeishly I would avoid accidentally making two service agents prompt each other with requests.
I would avoid pairing up bots like an AI scaleup's offering random location's weather to a hotel booking's recommendation bot.

@kerfuffle@mastodon.online @heiseonlineenglish@social.heise.de luckily https://fightchatcontrol.eu/ has a more modern cookie policy: just don't have them.

@michi@wetdry.world a bad workman blames his tools. Jobs should have practiced with the similarly discontinued Gameboy D, with double D-pads, but snobbism towards Nintendo withheld him.

@bitchboss@marcella.masto.host @aral@mastodon.ar.al I'm not too clear on the global numbers but I'm from the Netherlands and have Jewish, Israeli, Muslim and Palestinian direct family. My Jewish grandmother fled the Netherlands in WWII but returned. Her reaction to the war was not the Zionist one of a Jewish state, she was baptised and thought the best way to avoid future bloodshed was to completely assimilate. My Jewish ancestors largely did the same and have always opposed Israel.

@luis_in_brief nice article! Could there be a regression effect taking place? Some careers like 'prompt engineer' and 'AI trainer' may not exist in your selection because they appeared since your initial selection and be cannibalizing your views.
If you struggle with consolidating Marx' views on Jews with his views on individual liberty and alienation, give this audio lecture/essay by Ulrike Hoppner a go:
And now what? Doing Political Theory: Tolerating Ambivalence and some Marx on Freedom

@bert_hubert@eupolicy.social @daedalus@eigenmagic.net Isn't it more positive? For the first time in years I'm talking about stacks instead of cloud ecosystems and about modularity instead of integration. My clients are acting like responsible participants instead of passive consumers. We in FLOSS should refrain from blaming the customer (and then maybe have a small 'I told you so party' :-))

@gerrymcgovern@mastodon.green History is written from the view of the writer. Are current day historians perhaps selecting competitive individuals more than cooperative groups?

@Daojoan@mastodon.social Unfortunately there is only labour and capital. Corner offices are for labourers who are made to believe that they are capitalists.
