I become more and more convinced that the AI is just right wing class war and the lack of white collar worker organisation due having been flattered for years as geniuses and fed like farm geese has just led to a colossal lack of awareness of the class interests going on.

Trump has ordered the National Institutes of Health to cancel their review panels on cancer research. "The impact of [Trump's] collective executive orders appears devastating," one senior NIH employee says.

Trump has signed an executive order to increase production of glyphosate, a weed killer thought to cause cancer.

Trump proactively joined the war on cancer on the side of cancer.

Reminder: No government ever builds concentration camps it does not intend to fill.

I Benjamin Ryan @benryanwriter X.com One of the reasons I got serious about reporting about pediatric gender medicine is that when I tweeted in Dec 2022 that it was a shame that researchers were discouraged from studying detransitioning, Alejandra Caraballo brutally attacked me on Twitter. I was not going to let a bully push me around and lie about me, for one thing. And two, I knew that any field which was guarded so aggressively by activists forbiddng anyone from asking *reasonable and substantive questions* had to be newsworthy and important. And I quickly realized that most reporters were too scared of the Caraballos of the world, meaning there was a massive amount of uncovered territory for me as a reporter, so long as I could stand being routinely attacked, maligned, defamed, lied about, excommunicated, and so on.

Benjamin Ryan openly admits that his reporting on trans issues is animated by personal bias against someone who was mean to him online. Ben is not capable of reporting on this issue objectively, and yet the New York Times and other outlets repeatedly let him do just that.

From Patrick Freyne's Irish Times column of March 8, 2021: "Having a monarchy next door is a little like having a neighbour who’s really into clowns and has daubed their house with clown murals, displays clown dolls in each window and has an insatiable desire to hear about and discuss clown-related news stories. More specifically, for the Irish, it’s like having a neighbour who’s really into clowns and, also, your grandfather was murdered by a clown."

Never gets old

the main reason to go after the rich is that if you don’t the entire structure of your society is predicated on the whims of people who are entirely disconnected from ordinary life

billionaires are simply too dangerous to exist, and any budgetary stuff that comes out of it is just a bonus

I am a luddite and to me there is a lot of joy in technology. In technology that we deploy for all our wellbeing. Solar panels and vaccines, high-speed rail and wikipedia.

But they joy stems from the feeling of being able to be part of humanity in an embedded, meaningful way. Not from buying shit.

This is well put. So *many* technologies are joyous and progressive. The web was invented in a PUBLICLY FUNDED UNIVERSITY! It is, in fact, an aberration that the fascist VCs think they're the default with their approach to tech. They were only ever supposed to be a tiny fraction of the ecosystem.

😂

Thousands of institutions abandoned programs, ended or rewrote scholarships, closed down clubs and publications, all in pre-emptive compliance.

And you know why?

Mostly because they wanted to do it if they thought they could blame someone else for it.

Smartphone screenshot showing two New York Times “Breaking News” push notifications. The first, at 5:38 AM, says Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office over links to Jeffrey Epstein, citing the BBC. The second, at 2:01 AM, says Yoon Suk Yeol, South Korea’s ousted leader, was found guilty of leading an insurrection over his 2024 martial law decree. Each notification includes a “Share” option and a bell icon.

Watching other countries actually make their leaders and powerful men face consequences with jealousy.

The arc of history can bend towards a little justice, as a treat

while I wish we too had Consequences For Horrifying Crimes over here, Andrew and Trump are like the two most famous, powerful and well-protected men in that whole file and it’s impossible for this not to change the math completely. other men will be afraid today who weren’t yesterday

I’m sharing this video again because people don’t really get what these data centers and ai are doing to our planet and our communities. Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there.

I need you to listen to these people.
STOP USING AI. STOP SUPPORTING AI.

Bolsonaro in prison, Yeon sentenced to prison, Andrew arrested on his birthday...and America still holding on to a 34 count felon as President.

"excuse me sir, there must be some mistake- i voted to create the camps, not live in the zone of interest" is like every trump voter

If you wanna know just how unpopular Andrew is, just consider he's the first ever modern royal to get arrested.

On his birthday.
And then they throw this offer on top.

“many of …same discriminatory attitudes that animated eugenicists in the past (e.g., racism, xenophobia, classism, ableism, and sexism) remain widespread within the movement to build AGI… while using the language of “safety” and “benefiting humanity” to evade accountability.” #q Gebru & Torres

Normalize laughing derisively in men's faces when they deserve it.

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.

And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

"AI will cure cancer"

No bro, it is fully on cancer's side

Frame: the left is hurting itself by not engaging with the god machines

Negation: but this technology doesn't do the things you claim

kirby: the people writing these stories get funding to support narratives of power and inevitability, and that's what we should be scrutinizing

“Labelling generative AI, which includes tools such as ChatGPT and X’s Grok, as a “social disaster”, Birhane said they are a “major threat to truth, democratic processes, information ecosystems, knowledge production and the entire social fabric itself”.

Tell me again we should push AI into schools.

I say this as someone who loves technology but hates the tech industry - why do we have to love technology? why do we have to give something like AI clemency for its errors? It's a product we are being sold, it should have to earn our money or attention.

Big Tech says AI can solve climate change. The actual data says not so fast. Learn why/how so many claims about AI’s climate benefit are a hoax 👇
