Some motherfuckers need to read Winner. Like, it’s been clear from the jump that AI adoption has been a political project or in service too political projects and those projects have been universally shitty extensions of white supremacy and other structures of oppression.

For me, LLMs are clearly powerful machines, but everything about their construction and deployment in society by the people constructing them appears oriented around achieving a political project that deeply conflicts with my values or a vision of a future I want to live in and dont have a choice in

What do you call it when the federal government secedes from the union?

Lindsay Beyerstein

I can't stress enough what a crisis this is. Trump's own intelligence agencies concluded that Iran attacked Minnesota's critical infrastructure and Trump is saying that it's Minnesota's own fault and denying it was Iran. The federal government won't defend blue states in a literal war.

NEW: after our coverage of this company's little scheme to use printed books to train AI, it calls it a "test of the market" and walked the entire thing back: www.404media.co/ai-company-t...

“…the same mechanisms that drive people to grow wary of — and hostile toward — friends, co-workers and family members with different political beliefs are beginning to shape attitudes toward AI.”

AI Adoption Is Dividing Friends, Families and Co-WorkersAs artificial intelligence becomes ingrained in daily life, disagreements over the technology are increasingly becoming disagreements over values.www.bloomberg.com

So, what happens if I'm a parent and I know that my kid needs highly paid teachers, a library full of books with diverse characters, trans-inclusive bathrooms and extracurriculars, and a curriculum unpacking topics like systemic racism, colonial oppression, economic inequality, and climate change?

nobody should use twitter (you don’t have to use bluesky! just not twitter!) but very specifically journalists and entertainment reporters using it has been astoundingly corrosive for our civil dialogue, because we have completely lost any semblance of “saying this is unacceptable”

Ed Burmila

It would help a lot if a lot of journalists and pundits weren't using Twitter as their assignment editor, several years into its transition into Stormfront.

Just received this from NSF. Water scarcity threatens energy production? Are you fucking kidding me? Energy production threatens water availability. Full stop.

when we said “bring back shame” this is exactly what we meant none of these assholes should be allowed to buy coffee in peace

Watching ICE agents literally run away from a Mount Laurel Starbucks without their coffee because the neighborhood completely rejected them is pure gold. South Jersey will make you unwelcome every single time you show your faces.

"A.i." is a tool pushed by racist, fascist billionaires for racist, fascist purposes.

The Breach

Ontario jails are using an AI tool that claims to predict prisoners’ behaviour. And it’s disproportionately placing Black prisoners in maximum security. An investigation by @desmondcole.bsky.social reveals the province knew the tool would discriminate against Black people—and used it anyway.
