This exact same dynamic—dehumanizing fake content made entirely bc Facebook pays people to make it—played out in Myanmar in the run-up to a genocide. @karenhao.bsky.social laid it out in the starkest terms:

Meta in Myanmar (full series) - Erin Kissane's small internet website The landing page for the full series on Meta in Myanmar.

I fell into the deepest rabbithole on this stuff in 2023 and came out with 40k words on what exactly Meta did to enable and promote that genocide, and if you haven't read very far into the whole story, I can pretty much guarantee it is worse than you think it was.

AI-Generated Videos of ICE Raids Are Wildly Viral on Facebook An account is spamming horrific, dehumanizing videos of immigration enforcement because the Facebook algorithm is rewarding them for it.

The most horrifying AI slop of ICE raids you can possibly imagine is wildly viral on Facebook, collectively totaling tens of millions of views from a single account. First spotted by @chadloder.bsky.social

1/3 Cooperative hunting in ravens

Brown-necked ravens (C. ruficollis) work together to prevent lizards (U. aegyptia) from entering and blocking their burrow by inflating their bodies using their pointed tails to obstruct the entrance.

La urgencia por conseguir un diagnóstico rápido en el cáncer de piel más peligroso, el melanoma, ha llevado al País Vasco a apostar por la IA.

Quantus Skin promete agilizar el proceso decidiendo qué pacientes deben ser atendidos primero.

Sin embargo, los datos muestran una realidad preocupante.

I get that bsky is trying to make this application appeal to people who are not terminally online -- i.e. not all of us -- and I wonder if that's like board game companies chasing casual gamers, or Democrats chasing swing voters. As in, I'm not sure those people exist.

How OpenAI Uses Complex and Circular Deals to Fuel Its Multibillion-Dollar Rise Here are seven unusual financial agreements helping to drive the ambitions of the poster child of the A.I. revolution.

"Many of the deals OpenAI has struck — with chipmakers, cloud computing companies and others — are strangely circular. OpenAI receives billions from tech companies before sending those billions back to the same companies to pay for computing power and other services." www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Free software scares normal people—Daniel De Laney 80% of the people only need 20% of the features.

"The world is full of media servers normal people can’t set up. Free audio editing software that requires hours of learning to be useful for simple tasks. All because there’s only one UI, and it’s designed to do *everything*."

I couldn't agree more with this:

worth applying to politics as well. when you're criticizing an action people take "taking the better action next time" is only one of the alternatives people will consider, and worth remembering that "not bothering at all" is another.

El neocolonialismo de la paz La guerra de las armas y los escombros deja así paso a una nueva guerra: la del negocio de la reconstrucción, la especulación y el beneficio para unos pocos.

El acuerdo entre Israel y Hamás no ha frenado la masacre sionista, pero sí ha iniciado el gran negocio de la reconstrucción. Un enorme pastel que Occidente y sus aliados ya han empezado a repartirse.

"Gaza is no longer a place. It is an experiment, a question posed to humanity: How long can a population be bombed, starved and displaced before it ceases to exist? And how quietly can this be done before the world looks away for good?"
