Interesting Things on the Internet: April 10th 2023 Edition
- Unpacking the suitcase words. So many empty words being (ab)used to hide and obfuscate technology.
- Hacking the Cis-tem. An excellent essay from Mar Hicks on how the dawn of computer bureaucracy also ushered in more trouble for trans folk. And a lot of that was only because the state had different rules for men and women, which shouldn't have been there in the first place (and we can and should fix!)
- How Mondragón Became The World's Largest Co-op. I see, in the age-old tradition of Silicon Blah, that Merseydragón isn't too much of a stretch ;-)
- Statement from the listed authors of Stochastic Parrots on the “AI pause” letter.
- How Paris Kicked Out the Cars. More cities should be doing this, and investing more in public transport.
