AI and Businesses

If you follow the newsletters of some companies, you quickly notice that many business owners not only “play around” with Chatgpt & Co. they are not aware that these “tinkering” with AI are data breaches, just on a different level.

#America, it is time to stop chatting to each other about how bad things are, your #inaction is allowing the #deportation of #legitimate #citizens, your #silence is robbing you of #Science #Healthcare and many other things including #respect.

Land of the free? (not for long)

Home of the brave? (where are they?)

Organise, and mobilise, take back your once proud nation, while you still can, time is a luxury you may not have.

10 qualities of a good #friend.
They are not high standards. They are the basics of trusted friendship foundations. Don't discount your own basic standards for friendships.

"You cannot directly purchase #respect. You can of course purchase lots of things that might invoke respect from others - be it cars, clothes, housing, weird golden sprayed trophies. But the thing you really want, you cannot buy wholesale.

Respect is a by-product of other things. And what’s especially frustrating is there is no guarantee that those other things will provide you with respect even if they bequeath it to other people."

I'd be with you more
but then the you I'd be with
would be you no more

Vegans protect animals as much as they can.

They’re like non-vegans, same kind of people but make more compassionate choices.

Vegan food, supply and demand everytime.

You buy they die. Buy cruelty-free.

Remember this as Conservatives and Republicans attempt to erase one group from society after another while crying falsely about how *their* rights are being assaulted.

The #US sends out its diplomats:
No #respect for how #diplomacy has been working since emissaries have been exchanged and we know about it in written documents (so likely even before that)
And all that in support of a #Genocide

I'm personally bothered by the rise of #antinatalism, because I know I definitely want to have #kids.

I want to give them the #unconditional #love and #respect that I didn't get enough of #GrowingUp. I want to do my best to raise them with respect for #nature and their #community, and to be #critical but #compassionate and #OpenMinded. I know the #world is broken and it isn't on them to fix it, but I know that the last thing our world #needs is fewer #children in it.

This https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/apr/14/labor-announces-10m-to-provide-inclusive-culturally-safe-healthcare-for-lgbtq-australians sounds good afaict, but it's still no reason to vote Labs 1. Most certainly the Greens will also want positive initiatives like this, so i look fwd to it in a post-election Greens + ProgIndies + Labs shared govt.

This is a well designed piece of research. It finds, unsurprisingly, that better cleaning = fewer hospital acquired infections = reduced costs.

How astonishing that such an argument needs to be made!

If we had more #respect for the #work done by #cleaners the connection between how well resourced they are to do their work, & outcomes for patients & costs to the hospital, would be obvious to all of us. Even hospital administrators.

When cleaning is contracted out & budgeted through line items that are separate from those used for clinical services, perverse incentives are created to ‘economise’ on non-clinical functions to improve a notional bottom line. I would guess something like this is at play here.

As is so often the case, the funding model is the problem. #health #hospitals #cleaning

"""
Sometimes people use “respect” to mean “treating someone like a person” and sometimes they use “respect” to mean “treating someone like an authority”

and sometimes people who are used to being treated like an authority say “if you won’t respect me I won’t respect you” and they mean “if you won’t treat me like an authority I won’t treat you like a person”

and they think they’re being fair but they aren’t, and it’s not okay.
