Absolutely horrific.
Canada’s massive border bill, C12, has been adopted after third reading at Senate.
C-12 will become the country's largest machinery of deportation: deporting refugees without hearings, retroactive bars, and mass status cancellation.
A mirror of anti-migrant ICE violence.
Perhaps time to mention Manitoba Métis Federation invested in an AI startup that claims to be able to identify weapons in surveillance video. How many other Indigenous governments are getting caught up in AI startups that have potential to falsely indict folks? nationtalk.ca/story/manito...
They’re still arguing with me 💀
Apparently I need to “learn about AI” if I don’t think an “AI” app that blocks real creators from home pages is a good thing.
They’re hailing it as “getting rid of all the slop” but all I see is another sloppy AI project that doesn’t do the thing it claims.
When you become disabled and unable to work, you mourn your independence.
Most disabled people want to work.
They don’t want to beg for meagre handouts that keep them in legislated poverty.
They don’t want to be sick.
It’s not a choice & better social supports are needed.
White women that are racist are inextricably woven into American history because the first female us senator said this
ELLE MAIJA TAILFEATHERS FOR THE FUCKING WIN.
if yall haven't watched Night Raiders do it right now
Semi-tangential, first time I heard a woman introduce herself as "Don" I was confused until I realized my mistake 😂
These Ai detector systems have already been shown to be biased against ESL writers. Neurodivergent folks are likewise vulnerable. I mean it's also moot because if you think you're student shouldn't be using AI, than why would you use AI to detect it? These AI detectors are edtech scams.
Every day people get on here and try to make themselves feel okay about tacitly supporting a genocide and they’ll never actually know peace until they admit they were wrong.
So what do we know about GenAI?
1) It erodes cognitive functions, including problem-solving, criticality, and memory. There's an MIT study (summarised at time.com/7295195/ai-c...) among many articles documenting 'cognitive offloading'.
(We'd lose fitness too, if we got a bot to exercise for us)

Morbid Reminder
On Average Autistic ppl die 16 years earlier than our peers. And even earlier for any co-occurring conditions like ADHD.
This is attributed largely to the literal stress of being Autistic in a world that doesn’t accept us as we are.

Just don't get hit. No problem.
the purpose of a system is what it does
Yup. There’s no level of responsibility to sufficiently offset poverty wages.
Everyone deserves housing.
Everyone deserves healthcare.
Everyone deserves food, water and clean air.
These are not things you should have to “earn”.
Your ability to survive should not be based on economic output.
Help people meet their basic needs & watch the world change.
#Idlout's floor crossing brings Liberals one step closer to killing amendments in S-2 that end the second-generation cut-off. www.aptnnews.ca?p=285090 #indigenous #cdpoli
Leaving Nazi spaces is not “ceding ground”
It is protecting ourselves
And our comrades from having
Nazis around
The science is starting to show what we’ve been saying all along
The lights are too bright
The sounds are too loud
The clothes are too itchy
Thoughts don’t stop
Don’t know where to look
Constantly misunderstood
Never understanding why
Until we DO understand why
They can’t take that back from us
You had me at mouthful of flour 😂
Beat rising gas prices with this one weird trick.
Fix your hearts
The idea that opposing and rolling back trans rights is good for cis women and girls is ludicrous on every level and absolutely enraging when applied in legislation and policy that obviously limits and rolls backs rights for ALL women and girls
New for @theverge.com: i wrote about how Kansas' trans ID law and the "age verification" systems popping up everywhere tie into larger efforts to force trans people to out themselves both IRL and online
Good words of warning here. AI models are generally designed to read and incorporate (and, in a sense, believe) virtually everything they find online, with very few guardrails. The information can get divorced from its original source, context, & rebuttals or retractions. That's a really big problem
Congrats, sounds like it'll be a worthwhile class 🙂
I learned ballroom in high school, would recommend, doesnt take very long 🙂
At my virtual appointment today I could see myself visibly sinking as my fatigue set in, but I did get it done. Huzzah.
