People forget that J6 was successful. Everyone who participated was let out of jail and the guy who perpetrated it is President again. There were no consequences. They have plenty of incentive to do a much bigger and worse version.

you don’t hold "AI" accountable; you hold AI developers, vendors, and corporations that profit off it accountable holding "AI accountable" is like holding a toaster accountable. it's an inanimate object. it doesn't have wishes, feelings, or desires

While I was struggling with protecting my mom's site from the bot swarm I kept asking everyone who is still in the industry how small sites who don't have a kid with a computer science degree survive and the answer was pretty much "they don't" and that's so grim

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

I increasingly think Ai is has a purpose and it’s to empower a handful of very weird, possibly psychotic, men to have total control over the masses.

This is what I'm talking about when I bring up that genAI bots are making it impossible for an open web to actually exist. It becomes expensive, a pain, and domain providers like cloudflare are profiting off both the people making bots and the people who don't have the tech skills to fight them off

Cities across the country have gotten the message that residents hate Flock cameras. But one growing response is to replace them with *other* license plate readers (like from Axon, makers of the Taser), as if the brand name is the concern. @thorbenson.bsky.social has the story.

License Plate and Switch - The American Prospect
Cities are succumbing to public pressure and removing Flock license plate readers. But they are substituting alternatives with the same capabilities.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

"going rogue" implies independent thought, which LLM's are not capable of whatsoever no matter what these ghouls say This is purely a result of negligence with the people making them & everyone involved should be tried in a court of law as though they did these crimes themselves, because they did.

They've also blamed "DEI" pilots for other air incidents over the past couple years One problem with fascism is that people eventually tire of hearing how some out-group is responsible for all the problems. Especially w/o evidence. So they need to drum up hatred for another group. Now it's furries
