Because I'm now on a warpath of "I have no more patience for marginalization politics being exploited to justify bad things"...

"Being anti Gen AI is ableist because disabled people need it to think and create" is a common example of this.

And demanding respirators for Covid isn't racist.

'Seven Samurai' (1954) dir: Akira Kurosawa a thoughtful figure saying two or three samurai won't suffice.

one of the silver linings, if you can call it that, of the trump era is that a lot of the people you *suspected* of being racist assholes are saving you a lot of trouble and just straight up confirming it.

Many men feel the stripper really likes them. Scientists say it's time to consider whether they're onto something

Judge's footnote on immigration agents using AI raises accuracy and privacy concerns A federal judge called out an immigration enforcement agent for using artificial intelligence to write the narrative of a use-of-force report as just a small part of a scathing opinion that rebutted f...

Another way to look at this is when ICE, CBP, et al lie on reports, now they can blame AI. “U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis wrote… that the practice of using ChatGPT to write use-of-force reports undermines the agents’ credibility and ‘may explain the inaccuracy of these reports.’”

This is…distressingly accurate. As was the original.

I just learned the Bugs Bunny No meme doesn't even come from him saying no. It's a frame rotated 90 degrees from him taking a drink from a bottle. I needed to share this.

It's always interesting to observe which games get turbobanned from Steam - and which ones don't.

I keep saying, Google intentionally making its search worse is a world-historical fumble, and it's a huge opportunity for so many others across the internet, if they'll just seize it..

DHS’ Racist Social Media Posts Beloved by Neo-Nazis and Other Extremists, and They Know It The DHS has been posting recruitment content featuring explicitly racist and fascist imagery. Posts comparing migrants to monsters and depicting Black people have gone viral, drawing praise from Proud...

The DHS new recruitment posts look disturbingly like neo-Nazi propaganda—fashwave edits, racist “crystal” imagery, and gaming memes about extermination. Far-right extremists are hailing it as a victory, blurring the line between federal messaging and fascist culture.

Not mentioned is how more prevalent teen pregnancy is in red states.

Amazing what birth control does for people.

A workforce trained to normalize generative AI is a workforce that *will not be able to understand* people talking about creativity and pride in gaining skills and the value of their labor. It'll be alien to them.

A chatgpt user will *never* experience the experience of finding the task of researching and organizing an essay or program or story, shockingly easier than it used to be.

A genAI user will *never* find an artistic task effortless that was once enormously frustrating.

"Holy shit, look at me, I'm doing something that just a year or so ago I found really hard and stressful and confusing, but it's second nature now."

Generative AI deliberately removes this, entirely, from learning.

"In French, "sous" means "below", thus "sousveillance" means "to watch from below" —literal translation would be the word "undersight". Whereas surveillance is very hierarchical, structured, bureaucratic, and mechanized, sousveillance is more rhizomic and human, like social networking."
