I would use that frequently.19 Nov 2025 15:34 +0000at://did:plc:366yck3ug7fl6rxjbwtp63ca/app.bsky.feed.post/3m5ylczpxvs2ehttps://bsky.app/profile/alicelthwaite.bsky.social/post/3lvgqh7tiq22jI'm in a small coastal town in Sicily.02 Aug 2025 17:57 +0000at://did:plc:366yck3ug7fl6rxjbwtp63ca/app.bsky.feed.post/3lvgqh7tiq22jhttps://bsky.app/profile/alicelthwaite.bsky.social/post/3lrv57lwzsc2uMicrosoft propaganda... Text reads "a new generation of AI technologies can help people save energy and costs" and "AI is playing a critical role in the race towards a sustainable future" I don't choose to have this ideology appear on my work computer.18 Jun 2025 13:42 +0000at://did:plc:366yck3ug7fl6rxjbwtp63ca/app.bsky.feed.post/3lrv57lwzsc2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/alicelthwaite.bsky.social/post/3lqf4rqemrc2iPre COVID, pretty much everyone was in agreement that AI should never be used in drone warfare. But now the technology is SO common. There's so much creep of tech that no one asked for, and no one wants, and it's very overwhelming and very upsetting.30 May 2025 11:26 +0000at://did:plc:366yck3ug7fl6rxjbwtp63ca/app.bsky.feed.post/3lqf4rqemrc2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/alicelthwaite.bsky.social/post/3lp25ruvw6k27Get yourself outside - something is in the air!
