"And from our analysis, a significant disparity exists between companies claiming AI capabilities, and those demonstrating tangible AI-driven results."

What is 'AI washing' and why is it a problem?www.bbc.com Tech firms commonly highlight their use of AI, but in some cases it may be exaggerated.

I’m going to develop this service using REST. > technically you mean RPC *tucking myself in* no

I’m moving my autodeletion to 2 days. There’s really just no reason to keep posts longer than that.

July the Fourth be with you

Ooh my first post to hit my repost limit, let’s see if my autodeleter works when it runs next < 30m

Everyone can and should make their own safety arrangements, but also I have traveled to 40 countries solo in the last 6 years alone and have never once felt the need to search for this or ended up regretting having not searched this. This has included war zones and former eastern bloc countries.

Traveling solo as a trans woman is googling "is X safe for trans women" and getting "X is very safe for wealthy white gay men"

Today’s album is Metric’s 2012 entry, Synthetica. Fun fact, Emily Haines is the inspiration for my name.

Biden use your presidential immunity to clean up the courts (and kick off a civil war) challenge

Biden should take the Presidential Fitness test i had to take every year in school, i always assumed it was a test to see if we were fit to be presidents

Is your cat scratching your furniture? Discard your kids.

That’s just cops, under both Democrats and Republicans

There is also every reason to think that this court will expand Trump v. U.S in his second term to extend immunity to those doing his bidding. I.e., “Our holding in Trump v. U.S. demands that government officials be able to enact the will of the executive without fear of criminal proceedings.”

A sentient, hyperintelligent AI emerges and takes over the world benevolently, except for one demand. All music is destroyed except you get to save one of the following: - classic rock, 1970-1975 - metal, 1980-1985 - grunge, 1990-1995 - emo, 2000-2005 what do you pick and what is your runner up

Feeling cute, might delete in 7 days when my autodeleter purges it

Bluesky is where people come when they’re sick of Twitter’s bullshit, but can’t figure out Mastodon.

All my homies say fuck the ACLU

the ACLU is done. finished. toast. kaput

Every time I get on a long distance bus I think to myself “wow, I never travel with the bus” but I realize now I’ve crossed a bunch of international borders by bus. Why do I feel like I’m never on a bus.

Today’s book of the day continues with Ladies of Lascaris, a history of some of the women on Malta during WW2. I picked this book up at the Lascaris War Rooms in Valetta, it’s one of those obscure books you find in a museum gift shop, not really a mainstream story. And it’s fascinating. 📚💙

I hopped over to Chișinău because I ended my Romania roadshow in Iași (an amazing city). Chișinău is an amazing and vibrant city, and I think this is the best photo I’ve yet taken.
