Trochu rozpačitě, trochu moc Stiegler, ale gró tam je. Krátké zamyšlení nad AI ve studiu/výuce a jak ho asi tak nějak příliš hrotíme… 🙂 K přečtení v novém Sociologickém bulletinu, s. 149–160. ceskasociologicka.org/wp-content/upl…

Väčšina ľudí aj u nás už dnes podľa mňa chápe, že čo izraelský krajne pravicový režim pácha v Gaze, je neprijateľné. Ale mnohí si stále ešte nevedia predstaviť alternatívu k tej brutalite. Tu som napísal niečo voči takému fatalistickému vnímaniu. komentare.sme.sk/c/23406873/a-c…

Most important tweet of the day imo. Economic insecurity won the election for Trump. I do repeat myself, but neoliberalism holds the stirrup for fascism.

Skupina senátorů pod vedením Tomáše Jirsy (ODS) dala dohromady svoje vyjádření ke klimatické žalobě. 🤦‍♀️Text je plný zjevně nesprávných tvrzení (prý nevíme, jestli CO2 otepluje, lol). ✨Právě čtu vyjádření Katedry fyziky atmosféry z Matfyzu. Je to slušný sekec. Krátký výtah: 1/🧵

It's super great that we're accelerating this by throwing every resource humanly possible at the mere possibility, that maybe, at some future point, questionably, a bunch of massive tech firms might be able to squeeze some real utility out of LLMs (beyond market valuations).

This is an extremely important case with potentially huge ramifications. Nicaragua is accusing Germany of military, political and financial support for the Genocide in Gaza. Germany has replied by challenging Nicaragua's standing. If ultimately Germany loses - as it should -

The postwar social contract that promised economic security was inherently unstable. In this Levy Institute paper, I explain how Cory Doctorow NONCONSENSUAL BLUE TICK 's enshittification process applies to the labor market with devastating precision and how we might reverse engineer it. levyinstitute.org/wp-content/upl…

Basically any institution you are part of in your life, be it social or professional, will actively punish you for having moral clarity or epistemic honesty, but it is deeply important you maintain them regardless.

It’s official and it’s shameful: US multinationals will be exempt from the global minimum tax 🧵

Spain's PM Pedro Sánchez is the only EU leader with a spine and a decent moral compass. He has consistently condemned US and Israeli violations of international law and is now refusing to let the US use Spain's military bases. This is what all European leaders should be doing.

Kaja Kallas' world is the East European world: It is us (good) and the Russians (bad) And nothing else exists. Nowhere. Ever.

the only difference bw you and the people being torn apart by the settler colonial death machine is sheer luck. there's nothing inherent to you that makes you more deserving of safety. it could just as easily have been you and that arbitrariness should haunt you, not comfort you.

Oh look, after Spain spent the past six years investing heavily in solar and wind renewables, energy price fluctuations because of the US-Israel attack on Iran will impact them the least "Since 2019, Spain has doubled its wind and solar capacity, adding over 40 GW - more than

I do not see how European democracies can survive being complicit in the war on Iran plus the escalation of the cost of living crisis this war causes. This is the perfect storm to bring the far right into power.

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.
