Meta is adding AI-powered summaries to WhatsApp
  • Wow, only you see the AI generated summaries! Great news, they are processed so the Meta and others can’t see them! I assume by the that the processing takes place on your device and Meta doesn’t exfiltrate them. After all, they don’t really want the data.

  • Bernie Sanders says that if AI makes us so productive, we should get a 4-day work week
  • Computerisation, the paperless office etc all were supposed to generate better quality of life for workers. It was how it was sold. The reality is that staff numbers were reduced with work and competitive pressures increasing rates of stress and depression.

  • Measles leaves children vulnerable to other diseases for years
  • Yep, herd immunity is especially critical for people who have immunity issues or are allergic to vaccines. As an adult with measles you are hoping for the community to have herd immunity to reduce the likelihood of getting all those diseases again all at once.

  • Why common climate messaging often backfires – and how to fix it
  • It is really interesting that when people focus on getting their personal lives in order they loose impetus to take community level action like vote. “a single vote in a recent national election in Canada could be more than 20 times as effective as skipping a long flight” brings it into focus.

    Even in Australia where voting is compulsory we see the effect in that voting for non climate change issues is an issue.

  • Live Tracking

    I’ve seen the odd reference to live tracking (like WhatsApp) in Signal but as I can’t find any real detail I assume that it doesn’t exist. Is that the case?

    Global temperatures may have already risen by 1.5C since the pre-industrial period, according to an Australian-led team of researchers. And they warn that warming could reach 2C by the end of the decade.

    It’s not surprising that we may have passed 1.5c however the confirmation that climate science is on the money is a worry.

    I didn’t think Australia had a Greta
    www.sbs.com.au Why Australia’s answer to Greta Thunberg is facing years behind bars

    At 19, this climate activist is now facing serious legal consequences over a foiled protest outside the home of the boss of an energy giant in Western Australia. Here's why she still believes she's on the right side of history.

    Why Australia’s answer to Greta Thunberg is facing years behind bars

    I didn’t realise that Matilda was #australia’s answer to Greta but I do now. All these new laws to stifle protest that the state governments have introduced show the power of the fine hand of the fossil fuel lobby.
