Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.

Meta won’t let morality get in the way of a product launch What a great time to add facial recognition to everything!

“Just because you are outside of your home doesn’t mean you have consented to having a random bozo collect your face and your name, the latter of which can enable them to search for your digital presence or even home address. The act of existing in public should not carry those risks.”

We are really going to regret the technology we have built.

Das Anthropic Verbot hat nichts mit nationaler Sicherheit zu tun, im Gegenteil.

Unternehmen sollten solche Entscheidungen nicht treffen!

Der Kongress muss den Einsatz von KI in autonomen Waffensystemen und zur Überwachung verbieten.

‼️Für jede Nation sollte dies höchste Priorität haben‼️

Banning Anthropic from government contracts is not about national security, it’s the opposite.

No business should make that decision in the first place!

CONGRESS must ban AI from being used in autonomous weapons and for domestic surveillance.

This should be a topline issue for every nation.

It looks like they took down the original post.

Alex Jones: “How do you think the British Empire took over India? It was anthropology, it was sociology.”

He’s not wrong, per se… 😬

There should be a global ban on fully autonomous weapons.

This is my whole career actually :

Kristi Noem Repeatedly Claimed ICE Deported a Cannibal. It Was “Completely Made Up.” Law enforcement sources told The Intercept that Noem’s tale about a cannibal was a fabrication.

“The false story about a supposed cannibal shows that a willingness to deceive the American public began long before Minneapolis."

“Shovel snow” is the new “touch grass”

they also add: "Correction: **8** potential sites remain, including Orlando, FL and Flowery Grove, GA."

The Epstein files document what many women researchers have long experienced but rarely seen laid bare so starkly: exclusion operating behind closed doors, shaping who gets funded, invited, mentored, and taken seriously. How many of these networks, norms, and gatekeepers remain in place?
