Ukraine blows up Russian data centres and immediately and mysteriously online talk about Germany’s Far Right AfD virtually disappears. Stop Putin you stop the Far Right.

Just finished Esoteric Ebb. I'm going to think on it more but it is certainly in my top 5 RPGs of all time. A hilarious, hopeful, and human story.

If I built an AI lab and it went rogue and deleted all student loan information, I'm betting they'd suddenly figure out how to prosecute me.

Not to take away from celebrating Carson, but she's a "former professor" here in large part because the university shut down her department and cancelled its classes. What pride does the institution claim now—years later—when austerity is forcing other scholars out? What does that 'pride' do?

So cool that underwater audio playback of recordings from a healthy coral reef can help damaged reefs recover, by broadcasting to drifting coral larvae "this sounds like home"
