So now that Google Maps has changed the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, does anyone have a map app they recommend to replace Google Maps? 😒 :google: :google_maps:

Schools Using AI Emulation of Anne Frank That Urges Kids Not to Blame Anyone for Holocaust

""Instead of focusing on blame, let's remember the importance of learning from the past," the bot told Schönemann. "How do you think understanding history can help us build a more tolerant and peaceful world today?""

Yet another example of AI being used in a horrific way.

Omgggg!! I just discovered that Project Gutenberg has an automated feed on #Mastodon where they post new books they add!

Go follow them: @gutenberg_new

If we're going to ban TikTok I think we should also ban Facebook. And Instagram. And Threads. I feel like the world would be a lot more peaceful without those platforms.

"I’ve still received no communication from anyone in the project as to why I can no longer access Slack or why I am blocked on Twitter.

I’ve spent more than 20 years – more than two-thirds of my life – contributing to WordPress."

"Edit: A few hours since publishing this, I have been blocked from WordPress.org, and hence from contributing on Trac as well."

"In Mullenweg’s new offer, he reportedly told employees leaking information to the press to “exit gracefully, or be fired tomorrow with no severance.”"

"Mullenweg is also one of three board members on WordPress.org and said in an interview with The Verge that the project “belongs to me.”"

Mark Zuckerberg: creators and publishers ‘overestimate the value’ of their work for training AI

"Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg says there are complex copyright questions around scraping data to train AI models, but he suggests the individual work of most creators isn’t valuable enough for it to matter.""

Wow so all of the artwork, photography, and videos posted on Instagram and Facebook is worthless apparently.

"From Florida to Oregon, utilities are racing to meet a surge in demand from power-hungry AI data centers, manufacturing facilities and electric vehicles."

"Electricity usage by data centers is poised to surge as much as ten times current levels by 2030."

Ten times. 😵 That's a lot.

Why is the preview in Russian again?? It only does it here on #Mastodon 🤔

I can't believe that Project Gutenberg has 74k+ FREE ebooks that I can just download if I want 😃

Pretty amazing 😁

I've actually been getting some reading done lately! I've been reading quite a bit of... fiction. 😅

Turns out the nonfiction I read is pretty depressing, so I'm not making much progress on it. I guess history and climate change are depressing topics. Who would have guessed. 😆

I wonder how many people will be leaving Twitter/X because of Elon Musk's interview with Trump. Hopefully a lot of people.

Every day I feel more and more grateful I deleted my Twitter account two years ago. What a mess it's become over there.

I started looking into Project 2025 so I could be more informed about it and...wow. This is really bad, absolutely horrible. They want to get rid of anything that benefits citizens and protects children and workers.
