Last Notes npub1eu4k0k8860wjxv4qm40hj2tw6me9xdgf3fcls2zggqgzl55fzg8qgxqvnz Daniel MacPhee 🔬🧬🧫🇨🇦 “If we are good AI critics, if we carefully identify the pathological aspects of AI and relentlessly target the financial basis of the Al bubble, we can make sure that all the terrible things billionaires want to do with AI never happen, and we can consign all the terrible things that are currently being done with AI to history's ash heap.” npub1eu4k0k8860wjxv4qm40hj2tw6me9xdgf3fcls2zggqgzl55fzg8qgxqvnz Daniel MacPhee 🔬🧬🧫🇨🇦 “That's the thing about actual, existing Al: the lucrative present-day use cases, from drone warfare to wage theft, from empiricism-washing, racist policing to ripping off shoppers, are pretty ghastly.” npub1eu4k0k8860wjxv4qm40hj2tw6me9xdgf3fcls2zggqgzl55fzg8qgxqvnz Daniel MacPhee 🔬🧬🧫🇨🇦 “As the Americans return to their origin, to their primal urge, they are losing themselves. In a kind of atavistic dissolution, the originalists are rendering the constitution increasingly meaningless. The icons are desecrated. They paint over the granite of the reflecting pool. They have torn down the White House all on their own; the British didn’t need to burn it.” npub1eu4k0k8860wjxv4qm40hj2tw6me9xdgf3fcls2zggqgzl55fzg8qgxqvnz Daniel MacPhee 🔬🧬🧫🇨🇦 “The digital sovereignty opportunity is making billions of dollars by producing and exporting products that defend people from Big Tech plunder and Trumpian killswitches. That is the real world.” npub1eu4k0k8860wjxv4qm40hj2tw6me9xdgf3fcls2zggqgzl55fzg8qgxqvnz Daniel MacPhee 🔬🧬🧫🇨🇦 This “Manosphere” is underpinned by money making swindles. npub1eu4k0k8860wjxv4qm40hj2tw6me9xdgf3fcls2zggqgzl55fzg8qgxqvnz Daniel MacPhee 🔬🧬🧫🇨🇦 “As space junk accumulates, astronomer Sam Lawler explains why we should be concerned about the rapid proliferation of private satellites in low orbit” npub1eu4k0k8860wjxv4qm40hj2tw6me9xdgf3fcls2zggqgzl55fzg8qgxqvnz Daniel MacPhee 🔬🧬🧫🇨🇦 Possible changes to boundary for proposed national park in Saskatoon spark outcry | CBC News npub1eu4k0k8860wjxv4qm40hj2tw6me9xdgf3fcls2zggqgzl55fzg8qgxqvnz Daniel MacPhee 🔬🧬🧫🇨🇦 “RSS is simple and versatile. It's the backbone of podcasts (though Apple and Spotify have done their best to kill it, along with public broadcasters like the BBC, all of whom want you to switch to proprietary apps that spy on you and control you). It's how many automated processes communicate with one another, untouched by human hands. But above all, it's a way to find out when something new has been published on the web” npub1eu4k0k8860wjxv4qm40hj2tw6me9xdgf3fcls2zggqgzl55fzg8qgxqvnz Daniel MacPhee 🔬🧬🧫🇨🇦 And the PNAS paper itself npub1eu4k0k8860wjxv4qm40hj2tw6me9xdgf3fcls2zggqgzl55fzg8qgxqvnz Daniel MacPhee 🔬🧬🧫🇨🇦 “fraudulent studies are now appearing at a faster rate than legitimate scientific publications.

Just Wow. npub1eu4k0k8860wjxv4qm40hj2tw6me9xdgf3fcls2zggqgzl55fzg8qgxqvnz Daniel MacPhee 🔬🧬🧫🇨🇦 “There is one way RNA can survive outside a cell unscathed: in a tiny, protective bubble. For decades, researchers have noticed cells releasing these bubbles of cell membrane, called extracellular vesicles (EVs), packed with degraded RNA, proteins and other molecules.” npub1eu4k0k8860wjxv4qm40hj2tw6me9xdgf3fcls2zggqgzl55fzg8qgxqvnz Daniel MacPhee 🔬🧬🧫🇨🇦 This article really takes a hammer to the BS from conservative think tanks, the UCP and the like who denigrate public education.
