Designers, we have a โFigmaismโ problem (3min): great reminder that Figma is just a tool, your Figma skills are good enough, time to focus on other skills for your career if you want to grow: presenting design, mentoring, providing feedback, improving hiring process, taking ownership on initiatives, understanding business value, etc. (by Artiom Dashinsky )

โThese are ultimately surveillance systems that are being marketed to those who have power over us generally: our employers, governments, border control, etc., to make determinations and predictions that will shape our access to resources and opportunities.โ
People are getting paid for #publishing #AI-written #books, in an #author's name, when in fact the author did not, and knew nothing about this happening.
Then, when the author tries to do something about it to stop this obvious #abuse, they are told no.
If youโre worried your Wordpress site content will be scraped by ai, thereโs a Wordpress plugin to block common crawl robots. https://wordpress.org/plugins/block-common-crawl-via-robots-txt
I love this episode on how we react to accents. And what happens to us socially when accents change.
Except some of the methods used for testing aren't accurate for women's hormones.
And posting delivery doesn't match their window for testing to get accurate results.
And that's separate from if you can get accurate results from a tiny amount of blood.
Or even if you can say what "normal" is in hormones since there is variation across ethnicities.

My biggest problem with #capitalism is that it forces everyone to make earning money their primary objective.
Not to provide valuable services for society.
Not to make sure that people don't suffer.
Not to preserve our environment.
All these things are just optional side effects to the main objective of making money, and will be easily discarded if doing the opposite turns out to be more lucrative.
