'AI Is African Intelligence': The Workers Who Train AI Are Fighting Back Kenyan workers are still the underpaid labor behind AI training, moderation, and sex chatbots. The Data Labelers Association is fighting back.

I met with AI data labelers in Kenya who are organizing their colleagues to fight the brutal working conditions and horrible pay given to the workers at the "bottom of the AI supply chain." They believe the NDAs they've signed are unenforceable so are speaking out:

A google maps view of the area around the Strait of Hormuz, with crude markup showing the 4 steps to successfully clearing the strait:

1. Build up speed
2. Hit Trampoline
3. Cool backflip
4. Nail the landing

The boat is illustrated using a clip art yacht, and the trampoline is also just kind of floating there.

wait. wait. everyone hold on. i've solved it

ICE Tried To Turn This Minneapolis Teacher Into An Informant Brandon Siguenza was detained for doing legal-observer work. ICE's real interest was in generating snitches. PLUS: Mojtaba Khamanei isn't surrendering

Spencer caught ICE trying to turn an American detainee into an immigration snitch (?) in Minneapolis. Details of his interrogation in this amazing Q&A: @attackerman.bsky.social

This is why I don't buy when people say Kamala or Biden would have went along with this war. Bibi already tried this shit with Biden and Obama, they said no.

For all their faults they still said no to this shit.

Who could possibly have foreseen that war on Iran would (a) make Iran retaliate by closing the strait of Hormuz, which (b) could disrupt world oil markets, enriching Russia and penalizing most everyone else?

Who, indeed, except EVERYONE WHO HAS EVER THOUGHT FOR ONE MINUTE about the situation.

cannot stress enough that "separate the art from the artist" was meant for private individuals reconciling the art they love with its flawed creators and not meant for the ceo of a company driving a dump truck of money up to a bigot's front porch
