Imagine you time travel back to 1847 and you find the left response to industrialization is a) machines will never be as good as human weavers or b) we need to copyright loom patterns or c) it’s a speculative bubble.

You’d say “Y’all. Not helping. What you need is obviously a labor movement.”

it can’t be good for our fragile brains to be asking “is this real?” at everything we see

conventional reality meets ultimate reality through morality

I wrote a little about some of the little details you might have missed in this video and why it hit me so hard as a trans person this morning:

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

<em>Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology</em> | Wiley Online Library We argue that advances in large language models (LLMs) and generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) will diminish the value of Wikipedia, due to a withdrawal by human content producers, who will withh...

The infiltration of AI in knowledge repositories thus poses considerable threats to the knowledge landscape. asistdl.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.

Breaking!

City of Burnaby just became first city in Canada to join arms embargo movement against Israel AND the first Apartheid-Free City, breaking ties with Israeli apartheid and settler colonialism.

We've been organizing for months towards this precedent in colonial Canada.

Gaza Freedom Flotilla has released statement that Black labour leader Chris Smalls (Amazon Labour Union) faced violence that no one else on Handala did. He has been severely beaten in Israeli custody.

Smalls follows in legacy of Black radical tradition for Palestine. Labour must stand for Smalls.

shoutout to Monica. Incredible command over the English language TikTok video by intrnetbf

Here's the video www.tiktok.com/@intrnetbf/v...

It describes the term as applying to "people who are using ChatGPT to do everything for them"

Business Insider headline saying: "Sam Altman says your ChatGPT therapy session might not stay private in a lawsuit By Robert Scammell"

Wired headline that says "ICE Is Getting Unprecedented Access to Medicaid Data A new agreement viewed by WIRED gives ICE direct access to a federal database containing sensitive medical data on tens of millions of Americans, with the goal of locating immigrants."

Travelers to the U.S. must pay a new $250 'visa integrity fee' — what to know Travelers to the U.S. must pay a new "visa integrity fee" to visit, but questions remain as to how and when it will be implemented. Here's what we know so far.

This allegedly goes into effect October 1, so heads up KubeCon attendees and anyone else traveling to the United States for any reason

You get to pay $250+ in new fees *and* be harassed at the border! What a country! 🇺🇸

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Just wait until ICE is stationed at every city voting location.

There's literally hundreds of millions of us and only a few of them.
