AI Bots Can Now Write Callout Posts About You—Aria’s Barks I need us to talk among ourselves for a moment. A safe space for Organics only.

Today's story how an AI bot operated by OpenClaw automatically wrote a goddamn callout post against a Matplotlib maintainer who refused its vibe coded PR tilted me enough i had to write my personal feelings about it (along with a quick recap):

nothing you like will ever be safe until unionized workers have democratic control over the firms that employ them

i think it's cool that the soviets unambiguously won the space race

Just rub a little bear grease on it -- be good as new.

it's probably a good sign for our democracy that every member of congress who has been in the secret epstein document room walks out saying stuff like "every powerful person in the country knew, they're all rapists and pedophiles, they should be tossed into a pit and crushed under boulders"

All right I’ll say it: that’s too many times

it drives you insane how much erosion of freedom is justified by concern for kids when the people who actually hurt them will never face consequences

@Nick_Davidov Asked Claude Cowork organize my wife's desktop, it stated doing it, asked for a permission to delete temp office files, I granted it, and then it goes "ooops" Turns out it tried renaming and accidentally deleted a folder with all of the photos my wife made on her camera for the last 15 years. All photos of kids, their illustrations, friends' weddings, travel, everything. It's not in trash, it was done via terminal It's not in iCloud, it already synced the new file structure. She didn't have Time Machine. Disc recovery tools can't see anything. I called Apple and they pointed me to a feature in iCloud allowing to retrieve files that were saved before but are no longer on iCloud Drive (they keep them for 30 days). I'm now watching it load tens of thousands of files. I nearly had a heart attack.

i wouldn't say remembering the, what, four? five? times this fact has been "revealed" over the last decade counts as "terminally online." anyway, as bloggers make hay leaving substack on principle, spare a penny for folks like @samkeeper.bsky.social who never joined in the first place, on principle.

hatred of unhoused people is genuinely a pipeline to fascism. if the wealthy can get you to dehumanize your own neighbors, then they can get you to do it to anyone.

Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.) If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

He's the only billionaire *so far* whose emails have been made somewhat public.

The only way to become a billionaire is by being an amoral fucking monster, they will *all* in their emails be as monstrous in their own way as he was.

Think about how Epstein was just a single billionaire, what absolute heinous horrors are in the communications of every other billionaire.

*Any* random billionaire's emails will have skin-crawlingly heinous, horrifying shit. That is why they all must be eradicated.

Can comfirm from MN, as can anyone who lives here, that not a THING has changed except little Bovino isnt peacocking around the streets anymore. And there hasn’t been a third high-profile murder of a white person yet.

according to bluesky, working for ice is a protected class against discrimination lol

my biggest fear in this moment is not that the fascists will win, but that this critical mass of popular opposition will settle for a victory of half measures, once again kicking the can down the road instead of doing the simple straightforward work of picking it up and throwing it in the trash.

Did you know you can do things? That the horrors of the world are being carried out by people who only do so because the *feel* protected, by money, & pieces of paper, & fear? Did you know all of that can be taken away if enough of you are organized? Did you know the world is yours to win?

At a defence for migrants in a local hotel some fash snuck from their group to get behind our counter demo. Half of us turned to face them, unsure but still chanting... Then one of us stepped towards them. We all realized then that we didn't need to wait for them to leave; we could make it happen.

It's so crazy to see just how much tear gas is being used these days. In every video there's a vague cloud of it in the background, unfocused, floating through the air, punishing bystanders, not bringing order just a cloud of chaos. If it were a metaphor it'd be too on the nose
