Anxious Librarian (she/they)

This is what I think about when people say we need to give people "AI literacy". How do you AI literacy out of this exactly? This shows how absurd the concept is, this is what the goal of AI is for every worker.

The audacity of this administration of known pedophiles to call ANYTHING the "Stop the Sexualization of Children Act" other than a bill that impeaches and punishes every child rapist in office is off the charts... especially with a bill like this that will actively harm trans youth. Fuck this place.

really remarkable how trump seems to relish sharing this lurid stories about the terrible pain people have experienced, and he does it exclusively to score some partisan points

Frederick Douglass

Frederick Douglass was born into slavery in February, 1818. He later chose to celebrate his birthday on February 14th.

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

I just find the pro-AI discourse in academia so ridiculous. It's a tool to deskill workers. If you're not an AI engineer, why learn to use it instead of specialist knowledge? It's like a class on how to work an assembly line. The point of the line is you don't have to know anything specialized.

Hell yeah, I fuck with AI

I fuck with

Abolishing
Ice

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

There were six or seven agents, trying to harm a man who looks unarmed and still they murdered him in broad daylight. These ICE agents are venal, incompetent, cowardly and this type of execution will keep on happening because they are an unchecked paramilitary force of scared men who crave power.

Blood on the snow in Minneapolis. Abolishing ICE is the *compromise*

I feel bad for all of us who have to be good at our jobs when the answer is to be sufficiently white, rich and powerful and then you can just drool on yourself and the press will be like “audiences intrigued by his unusual communication style”

Given the open racism and rampant racial profiling by ICE, maybe this will be the first MLK Day in recent history where Republicans do *not* trot out the Only MLK Quote They Know

Just because a lot of people are cruel, bigoted, and brainwashed doesn’t mean we have to find a “middle ground” with them or a “compromise” that satisfies some of their racist delusions. We just don’t.

The people celebrating ICE enjoy watching masked men terrorize and abuse women and children. They love it! They enjoy watching the videos of the violence first, then create justifications for that violence in reverse. Their ICE support is predicated on wanting the violence to escalate and continue

Prison guards are flocking to ICE jobs and frankly this makes sense. Those of us who have been anti-prison organizers for decades have been saying that fascism already existed within prisons/jails. Our best teachers for how to survive fascism are incarcerated people.

This current protein craze is ridiculous. No, I don’t want protein in my coffee. Thank you.

just so it's clear: this is the exact core function of genAI

Fascist government and climate deniers love it because it can produce the aesthetics of knowledge without any actual tendency towards truth. It is automated denialism.

Shame on every climate scientist promoting its use (there are lots)

You know something I don’t understand?

Golf course “views”.

I’ve never looked out a window at a soulless expanse of cultivated grass with a golf course on it and thought, “oh yeah that’s relaxing!”

Maybe the ones in Scotland or something but not in Boca.

I find the idea that you need to know “how to use” AI tools really funny, as if it isn’t incredibly easy to type in prompts and the marketing these tools is that literally anyone can do it

Attacks on feminism are similar to attacks on vaccines. We begin to take for granted a world where women have rights and most children live to see adulthood, and then, over time, we begin to forget, neglect, and (now) reject the movements and innovations that brought us here.

Brown University has over 1,200 surveillance cameras. Why that wasn’t enough to capture video of the shooting suspect | CNN CNN spoke to several security experts to better understand the growth of Brown’s surveillance system, why its cameras failed to capture the attack or suspect, and the concerns about privacy and academ...

Brown has over 1,200 cameras and it wasn’t enough because cameras are a security blanket we’ve all been sold. They don’t prevent crimes and they barely solve crimes but in the meantime surveillance companies got rich and no one had to address the societal root causes of crime and violence.

Using chatbots in "relationships" wont *lead* to the dehumanization of women by men. It is the continuation of existing dehumanization.
