       @drmambobob #PostOfTheWeek (season 1)Why do these myths matter? Daniel Stone, Director of Diffusion.Au and a researcher at the Leverhulme Centre for Future Intelligence at the University of Cambridge, examines the frames we use when discussing AI and how it shapes our response.“Myths and metaphors aren’t just rhetorical flourishes; they are about power. They tell us who has it, who should have it, how they should use it, and in the service of what goal,” he told me in an interview over email

       @kaia #postoftheweek (season 1): The absence of a Chinese alphabet is due to the vast number of characters and the historical development of the writing system. Chinese characters, numbering in the tens of thousands, make it challenging to create an alphabet. Homonyms are common in Chinese due to limited syllables and extensive vocabulary.

       @wjmaggos #PostOfTheWeek (season 3): Signal has a feature called nicknames that can help. If you know that your friend Laura used to go by "Mmm 🌮" on Signal but recently changed her name to simply "🥑", you can click on the 🥑 contact and set her nickname to "Laura" instead. From now on, you'll just see her as Laura, and your Signal groups will be slightly less confusing.
