"The imperative to use AI to create is an attempt to frame a problem of politics as a problem of efficiency. I do not need to be more efficient, I need time and freedom to read and to think and to write and to fail as we all do."

The US and Israel are bombing Iran. Anyone reporting it as “preventive” is engaging in propaganda, by definition. There is no interpretation of what’s happening as anything else than a crime.

You don’t have to like the Iranian regime to understand why this is bad.

Cowboys from Hull 😔

The thing is, there's plenty of analysis going on and more to come. But honestly this morning I just woke up and laughed at the thought of Keir Starmer's face seeing the news.

... I mean obviously so much of this AI hype is marketing nonsense. But the fundamental reason that any of this is plausible is because of the politics of control/discipline that undergrids capitalism. That labour or subjectivity can be automated says a lot about what labour and subjectivity do

Historically the colonial politics of recognition required there to be a subject to recognise. But recognition was always conditional on being the right kind of indigenous subject. So i guess that subject can now be automated based on what's statistically likely for the idealised subject to say...

Something something metaphysics is ableism is fascism. Another reductive take that has a ridiculously high hit rate

Teleological thinking re: biology is a big driver in fascism, it seems. Supposedly neutral facts about our bodies are "meant to do" are load-bearing for fascist attacks on trans people and cis women.

when you think about it there's a remarkably consistent through-line from the Plantation of Ulster to the American colonial project to the US-supported destruction of Gaza

THE FILTON TRIAL - THE VERDICTS - NO CONVICTIONS - Real Media - The View From Below Following our detailed coverage of this long trial, we bring you the verdicts as they have just been announced in court.

Incredible news. This is why craven corrupt, irreparably dirty Labour wants to kill jury trials: realmedia.press/filton-verdi...

We have never left Hippels' wine bar

Truly shame on @msf.ca

Not convinced by the British iteration of the Chinese century, can't lie.

But by saying Sci fi authors invented them out of thin air you can tacitly absolve yourself of not seeing this coming, because it's not a prediction based on evidence it's a fantasy that just occurred to people one day

Someone, somewhere in the University of Kent’s research office, is trying to work out whether they can put together a REF impact case study out of Matt Godwin.

Probably auspicious that this statement does the rounds the same day the Building Safety Regulator launches its rebrand as part of its move from thhe Health and Saftey Executive to a politicised role under MHCLG.

Labour & reform are antagonistic to process, & safety. Liberalism is dead baby

There's a through line from Labour/Steve Reed saying 'build baby build' and effectively trying to deregulate construction sector to the attack on human rights law.

A fascistic embrace of efficency that rejects regulation, considerations about social benefit and rejects thoughtful consideration

Tbf I did notice the Tunnocks before I noticed Starmer

The bubble bursts and all of a sudden their claudwhatevers stop working and they can't remember how to be insufferable online anymore.

Would be quite funny if the only people who were effectively de-skilled in terms of labour by AI were the AI booster ghouls themselves

Luv iron maiden, ate Jimmy Saville. Simple as

Israeli forces are massacring Palestinian journalists - committing war crimes on a scale that would normally make headline news - and yet Western media are still calling this a "ceasefire". Pure propaganda.

There’s a reason why Carney’s speech made numerous mentions of ‘great powers’ and ‘intermediate/middle powers’ but not a single mention of the implied third category.
