Pritzker is offering the following at the moment:

1. Trust the courts. [not a viable strategy]
2. "Film the cops"
3. Vote in 2026
4. Protest [peacefully]

And he knows this is not sufficient. Everyone does.

He will not address the local cops angle because he might be deposed...

National police union calls Chicago's refusal to help ICE agents 'shocking' violation of duty Police union leaders called Chicago's alleged directive to not assist ICE agents surrounded by protesters a violation of law enforcement's duty to protect fellow officers.

The Fraternal Order of Police is on the side of MAGA and against the people they are supposed to be "policing." I think this says a lot to the people who insist local police are going to be "resistance."

I don't think most people understand what we're facing. Not really.

White People’s Performative Ignorance Is Exhausting—Opinion Disbelief over authoritarianism in America isn’t a cutesy personality trait. It’s a confession: You haven’t been paying attention.

"Black people are tired. Not metaphorically tired—actually tired. The kind of tired that turns every group chat into a mix of gallows humor and emotional triage."

I write about white ignorance and how exhausting it is to hear white ppl insist "this isn't who we are, when it's ALWAYS who we've been.

This very very very bad. I cannot stress this enough. I said that they crossed the Rubicon with arresting Ras Baraka several months ago. This is very bad and portends more bad things for regular people.

Reimagining the future of data and AI labor in the Global South | Brookings Michelle Du and Chinasa Okolo discuss the content moderation and data labeling behind social media and AI platforms.

My latest Brookings commentary (co-authored with Michelle Du) examines the landscape of digital platform work, providing recommendations for governments, tech companies, and outsourcing firms to increase accountability and reshape labor practices.

who will cryptographically verify what's true ?

agree, they are much smarter, they do hold grudges too

a horse is like a crow but bigger and also with hooves

« "kill" the "AI" industry » sounds like a job for Roberto

I think its exactly the opposite: it is very unlikely Altman or OpenAI did not anticipate blowback, they just hoped it would be insignificant enough for them to ignore.

so many things that it doesn't cover

YouTube video by ARTE Madagascar : les petites mains de l’IA | ARTE Reportage

ah, and it doesn't cover the ghost work, making it sound like the "AI" is ✨magical✨

[Eg: French documentary w/ subtitles about invisible "AI" workers in Madagascar]

An AI Addendum Last month, I chose to strip away all the hubris around AI and ask one simple question, one that oddly no one had really bothered to ask; how much revenue is needed to justify the current level of cap...

it also doesn't cover the depreciation of assets (chips, servers, even datacenter)

it also doesn't cover the energy use (maybe because that's a technical problem!?)

I watched the whole thing, it does cover the "AI" bubble and assert that we don't know if there is a bubble and also folks who question "AI" efficiency irt. its valuations needs to be humble because a bunch of very smart people in wall-street knows what they're doing.

Lecornu like: "Alors, j'ai bougé...
J'ai dû m'en aller...
Partir, bifurquer...
J'ai dû m'évader...
J'ai dû m'enfuir...
J'ai dû partir...
J'ai dû m'éclipser...
J'ai dû me camoufler...
J'ai dû disparaître...
Pour réapparaître..."

@davidgerard.co.uk have you seen this 💩 ?

"one of the most widely cited economists in the world, one of the top 25 economists under 25 shaping how we think about the global economy"

This cute AI pusher interview has NO mention the energy consumption of these "AI" systems

Holy crap. Trump will make the FCC crucify Jimmy Kimmel for this.

dessin de @unpied sur le point godwin, où les protagonistes finissent dans un camp de concentration et un des deux répond "aaaatention au point godwin !"

le voici:

- LR : assume officiellement son soutien au RN face à la gauche
- Les analystes : ça alors, c'est quand même curieux et préoccupant
- La gauche : ... on vous prévient depuis Sarkozy...?
- Les analystes de droite : mais vous l'avez dit trop tôt, ça compte seulement quand ça monte à MON cerveau.

I really believe that huge majorities of Americans don’t want masked soldiers shooting priests in the street. They don’t want naked children ripped out out of their apartments in the middle of the night and handcuffed. We win by making sure these stories get told.

Search being borked

Looks like it is (not for me tho)

Jay takes search

David Frum, Douglas Murray Secretly Drafted Speeches for Israeli Ambassador Leaked emails from former Israeli UN Ambassador Ron Prosor show David Frum, Douglas Murray offering to write his speeches and a CNN producer fundraising for Israel’s Iron Dome during Israel’s 2014 war

Fascinating report just released by DropSite which reveals that David Frum, while working on a profile of an Israeli ambassador to the United Nations for the Atlantic, was also shadow-writing speeches for that same ambassador.

Fantastic
