want to be rabidly anti immigration and also a capitalist keeping downward pressure on wages? Now you can, with AI slop!

Vector search tech that all search engines rely on so heavily flattens everything to the lowest common denominator.

You’re asking about Australian owls but from the usa? “You want information that relates aus owls to the usa, trust me bro.”

Wouldn't it be easier to publish studies when they find something that isn't polluted with PFAS or microplastics at this point.

I've been enjoying recipes from Hermann. He's got a youtube series making traditionally vegan recipes.

Also: masoor/red lentil dal

Reading OpenAI Economic Blueprint because I hate myself.

AI good, China bad, please give money. Truly powerful stuff

Loomio could be worth checking. They are a co-op that make software that other co-ops use, a lot of links to other tech co-ops from their page.

I've seen this comment a few times now and I'm pretty conflicted, especially as I'm the white coloniser and can't speak for Māori.

I think it's important to point out that Māori have worked incredibly hard to reclaim and preserve their language, culture and this particular Haka seems to have resonated with a lot of Māori. It's not a land acknowledgement from a blackrock CEO, or the Democrats kneeling for George Floyd.

But.. The cynic in me says: It is performative. As are all parliamentary speeches and rituals. As is the bill itself which is right-wing virtue signalling. The lib in me: It has brought a lot of attention to the bill, and made it clear to "well meaning anglos" that it's fucked up. The materialist in me: The treaty barely impacts capital's ability to make profit, so overturning it seems quite far down the list (for now) for the local borg.
