I know a lot of you have already heard or read about BDS Movement's call against Microsoft, and felt weird and bad about it all, but decided to move forward as normal because of some degree of ambiguity.

"What service is Microsoft providing?"

if you’re cis & you want to see what the lab is cooking up for the future of US trans people, gwen’s coverage of texas legislature sessions—like for example this session where they put a trans bathroom ban (where no assaults have happened) in front of flood relief (where people died)—is essential.

Disney Scrapped Dwayne Johnson Deepfake For ‘Moana’ & AI-Generated Soldier For ‘Tron: Ares’: “Company Couldn’t Risk The Bad Publicity” Disney scrapped a couple of AI ideas for 'Moana' and 'Tron: Ares' due to the controversy over use of the technology.

Being seen as too risky due to social fallout for Disney's investors really is the writing on the wall for AI in creative spaces

I don't like praising Disney but this is a genuinely a good call for reasons the investors probably cannot comprehend

Remember when Microsoft laid off 9,000 people from its games division with the excuse that they’re funneling all that money into AI? I’m sure all that pain and suffering they caused will be worth it….. right? 😇

Hell yeah, I'm going to the Cleveland show later this month and I'm stoked as well... can't wait!!! I'm sure it'll be a blast!

I saw this tweet & wanted to share it! I've been trying to find the words to talk about it since last night but I think this tweet does a great job in saying what I want to say!
