If you come across a bear, never push a slower friend down…even if you feel the friendship has run its course.

Another unfortunate misinterpretation - most compostable plastics are designed for curbside/commercial #composting, like in my neighborhood! This stat refers to a single 'home compostable' certification in Europe that underperformed in a volunteer backyard project.

This thread is blowing up, and I may add to it later, but one final thought--the best way to strengthen energy security is to decarbonize, embrace renewable sources, and build energy links that emphasize social responsibility and commitment to democratic politics.

This is big and bleak news. The planetary boundary for chemical pollution (aka 'novel entities') has been quantified for the first time - and it's now clear that humanity is massively transgressing levels that are safe for life on Earth. Plastics! Read on. theguardian.com/environment/20…

• A quarter of illustrators (26%) and over a third of translators (36%) have already lost work due to generative AI. • Over a third of illustrators (37%) and over 4 in 10 translators (43%) say the income from their work has decreased in value because of generative AI.
1. Today @FTC issued a final rule banning noncompetes for workers across the country. The rule will ensure that Americans have the freedom to pursue a new job, start a new business, or bring a new idea to market. ftc.gov/legal-library/…
This amazing!! And it also allows for small businesses to flourish!!
BREAKING: The FTC just banned non-compete agreements. The Federal Trade Commission has issued a final rule making it illegal for bosses to make workers sign noncompetes in any scenario, and voiding nearly all existing noncompetes. This is a game changer for American workers.
I am not anti-AI. I think AI has incredible potential, and can make all our lives so much easier. What I AM is anti-theft. Anti the destruction of creative industries for personal (and corporate) profit. There is a way to make AI amazing. AI art (as it exists now) is not it.

This version of AI is sociopathy on steroids. Do we unleash a cancer to perhaps maybe sometime fix a cancer? Asking for a friend.
How many of our social institutions will GenAI overwhelm before we began to hold the developers responsible? They may as well be spewing toxic chemicals into the water.
that’s right, there is no guarantee of significant improvements, especially since LLM’s are now stealing from each other contaminating the data with their own drivel.
