Instead, they will migrate to the next hype tool for the upcoming few months/years ...

Presentado en el mercado editorial cuatro días antes del 7 de octubre de 2023, fecha del inicio del genocidio en Gaza, este libro de no ficción, se adentra en un hecho que tuvo lugar el 16 de febrero de 2012.
Aquel día, un autobús escolar que llevaba a un grupo de niños palestinos de excursión, sufrió un accidente. Siete niños murieron calcinados, entre ellos Milad Salama, el hijo del protagonista de esta historia.

overlook the self satisfied nature of economists or sociologists that have lately come to understand that violence in society is governed by how well or poorly people socialize.
They have just figured out that it takes a village to have a peaceful community.
This is valuable nonetheless because the real factors of (gun) violence are better understood .
so-called #trafficsafety is often straight up #victimblaming, placing the blame for #trafficviolence on those who are hurt or killed by #cars. 🔄
today in #copenhagen #motornormativity, a sign reading:
🪧 »Dear cyclists. Take care of the cars, reduce the speed.«
dear kids. take care of the gun owners, wear a bullet-proof vest. 🙃

Anthropic Exec Forces AI Chatbot on Gay Discord Community, Members Flee
A Discord community for gay gamers is in disarray after one of its moderators and an executive at Anthropic forced the company’s AI chatbot on the Discord, despite protests from members.
Users voted to restrict Anthropic's Claude to its own channel, but Jason Clinton, Anthropic’s Deputy Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) and a moderator in the Discord, overrode them. According to members of this Discord community who spoke with 404 Media on the condition of anonymity, the Discord that was once vibrant is now a ghost town. They blame the chatbot and Clinton’s behavior following its launch.
