2) 	Whitened form: Is the AI, by its (default or exclusive) external characteristics, portraying a character that is inherently white (supremacist), Western, Eurocentric, etc.? 	Yes/No
3) 	Dislocation from work: Does the AI displace women from a role or occupation, or people in general from a role or occupation that tends to be (coded as) women's work? 	Yes/No
4) 	Humanisation via feminisation: Are the AI's claims to intelligence, human-likeness or personhood contingent on stereotypical feminine traits or behaviours? 	Yes/No
5) 	Competition with women: Is the AI pit (rhetorically or otherwise) against women in ways that favour it, and which are harmful to women? 	Yes/No
6) 	Diminishment via false equivalence: Does the AI facilitate a rhetoric that deems women as not having full intellectual abilities, or as otherwise less deserving of personhood? 	Yes/No
7) 	Obfuscation of diversity: Does the AI, through displacement of specific groups of people, “neutralise” (i.e., whiten, masculinise) a role, vocation, or skill? 	Yes/No
8) 	Robot rights: Do the users and/or creators of the AI grant it (aspects of) legal personhood or human(-like) rights? 	Yes/No
9) 	Social bonding: Do the users and/or creators of the AI develop interpersonal-like relationships with it? 	Yes/No
10) 	Psychological service: Does the AI function to subserve and enhance the egos of its creators and/or users? 	Yes/No

This is pretty fucking wild. I had assumed in a worst case scenario he would target blue zip codes and toss ballots based on technicalities but this is even worse than I imagined.
Not only is this system astonishingly untested, USPS has simultaneously implemented an
impracticable zero percent failure rate.
13 When ballots are submitted to USPS in large-volume
batches, if any one ballot in the batch cannot be verified against the Portal, all ballots in that
batch will be rejected. For example, if a state election official brings a batch of 10,000 ballots to
USPS and USPS is unable to match just one of those ballots against the Portal – because, for
example, someone has recently changed their name after marriage or they’ve moved – then
USPS would refuse to mail the remaining 9,999 ballots as well. As the whistleblower notes,

The OpenAI "hugging face incident" is actually a perfect example of the collective make-believe acting-as-if reality magic where a bunch of people all pretend together that something is other than it actually is in order to create and accumulate power.

Stability is now being sued (alongside xAI) for abetting the production of AI NCII/CSAM due to how it developed & released several open-weight models. Anyone interested in whether AI companies will be held liable for foreseeable, mitigatable *downstream* harms should follow this.

In general, the idea that every voter suppression tactic and attempt to erase Black representation is actually going to backfire due to xyz is a really easy way for people to convince themselves they don’t have to actually do anything.

One of the more misogynistic takes currently trending in the AI policy space is "women use less AI than men because they have less tech literacy" Ok but have you considered that women use less AI than men because we have more tech literacy?

The American political class is utterly delusional, adrift in a dream of normality, unable to process the actual reality of events on the ground, where the US just launched a completely unprovoked war against a massive country, murdered its leadership, and demanded its conversion to a vassal state.

The kidnappings of Black, Latine, Indigenous, and Asian US citizens are not an accident. They are the leading edge of a wide-scale ethnic cleansing campaign with centuries-old roots that is intentionally targeting not just non-citizens but all people of color. All. People. Of. Color.

Retired US Generals & Admirals need to publish & backchannel on refusing illegal orders. They swore to first “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic”. Illegal orders to invade our NATO allies are a domestic threat.

He’s all about feeling powerful and feeling like he is winning every encounter. That’s his horrible MO. The book strongmen by Ruth Ben-Ghiat explains it all well. He doesn’t care about deals except insofar as he successfully feels like he creates them, he need not keep them in his view.
