As I fundraise for myself, I also ask you to support Malak, Maali and their family. They have given me so much strength. I have learned so much from Malak. I have known her for months. I'm not surviving a genocide. Our struggles are different but connected.

Be generous. Please share.

Why Do Highways Run Through Black Neighborhoods? The documentary β€œInterstate” exposes how highway routes are by design.

β€œFrom the 1950s to the 1970s, federal contractors building the system deliberately mapped routes that rammed through and dismantled Black neighborhoods β€” payback, some say, for gains made during the Civil Rights Movement.”

Hello, just updating again.

It's been confirmed that millions of us will not be receiving SNAP this month.

I am someone who heavily relies on it, and need a lot of help to get groceries next month.

So please, any help is appreciated <3

My Book Review isΒ Up My review of Omar Sayfo's Arab Animation: Images of Identity is now up in the Animation: An Interdisciplinary Journal. Safyo's book is one of the few books that seriously examine animation production and cultures in the Arab countries. I highly recommend it for those interested in learning about non-western animation. Thanks to Patrick Sullivan and Aimee Mollaghan for letting me review the book for the journal.

45% of all AI answers had at least one significant issue.
31% of responses showed serious sourcing problems – missing, misleading, or incorrect attributions.
20% contained major accuracy issues, including hallucinated details and outdated information.

AI-powered textbooks fail to make the grade in South Korea South Korea’s AI learning program was rolled back after just four months following a backlash from teachers, students, and parents, underlining the challenges in embedding the technology in education.

South Korea pushed AI hard in schools. The national program was aborted within months, following massive pushback from students, parents and teachers, after a fortune had already been spent by both the government and education publishers

Normally people ask for money on their birthdays.

Well. I am too. But not for me.

If you need mutual aid, money for any reason, want to boost something you sell, a service (yes sex work too) or a craft you do, please reply.

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Do something the mods would HATE: support six families’ survival of still life-and-death conditions in Gaza, AND share a campaign Link was sharing daily for us before he got banned.

Jokes aside, they urgently need food, shelter, warm items, baby supplies. Still survival.

Deloitte will refund Australian government for AI hallucination-filled report Consulting firm quietly admitted to GPT-4o use after fake citations were found in August.

AI Rule #1: Cynical writers use AI.

Also: Who will pay for consulting, when AI can generate something just as default and vacuous for free? Or will consulting firms claim to offer something more personal, human, and special?

Advocates raise alarm over Pfas pollution from datacenters amid AI boom Tech companies’ use of Pfas gas at facilities may mean datacenters’ climate impact is worse than previously thought

β€œAdvocates are particularly concerned over the facilities’ use of Pfas gas, or f-gas, which can be potent greenhouse gases, and may mean datacenters’ climate impact is worse than previously thought. Other f-gases turn into a type of dangerous compound that is rapidly accumulating across the globe.”
