Feral Crow

My life is immensely better since I decided I didn't want to be someone on social media.

The Trump Administration is basically claiming the right to kill anyone anywhere for any reason or for no reason, with no evidence provided or accountability to Congress or the American people.

Trying to explain the movie to a Gen Z person. I just.. I don't know how to convey the 80s genre of "malevolent machines trying to murder humans" things like war games, terminator, robocop.. feels both on point and naive.

Pennsylvania has an important Supreme Court race coming up on Tuesday, November 4. If you live in the Keystone State, or know someone who does, vote YES to retain three justices who will protect your fundamental rights and freedoms.

Elon Musk's Grokipedia Pushes Far-Right Talking Points The new AI-powered Wikipedia competitor falsely claims that pornography worsened the AIDS epidemic and that social media may be fueling a rise in transgender people.

Musk effectively copied over all of Wikipedia and had Grok go over it to give it a far right bias in its framing in articles to turn it into a propaganda tool. It's conservapedia 2.0 backed by the world's richest man.

“The 3.5% rule is a concept in political science that states that when 3.5% of the population of a country protest nonviolently against a government, that government is likely to fall from power.”

Ugh, yeah the ubiquitous porn-stashe in DC.. it's been truly saddening to see it it co-opted by the cishet-dudes. Def no longer queer flagging thing.

Bot Networks Are Helping Drag Consumer Brands Into the Culture Wars AI tools have made coordinated attacks targeting corporations much more common, researchers say.

It's almost funny how easy generative AI has made it for bot net influence interest. They can spin off bots to artificially amplify any topic they want (or are paid to promote)
