A lot of this is based in tech people's belief that nothing is truly NP=hard intractable, that everything is both achievable and controllable, and that arguing otherwise is arguing for the existence of a preexisting God, rather than the self evidently correct belief that they can create/become God

Reporting by Palestinian journalists indicates that the pretext for IDF’s attacks today was Israeli Zionist settlers running over unexploded ordinance while they were bulldozing Palestinian homes, not something involving Hamas at all. Colonialism kills www.instagram.com/p/DQAE0SCDpy...

What is so goddamn frustrating is how journalists do the PR work for AI evangelists by not following up on their platitudes.

They were already doing this for some of their courses last year. The Irish course is completely ruined, the real human voices have been replaced with AI ones which have their pronunciation all over the place, and in many cases make up sounds that don’t exist in any Irish dialect. It’s awful.

One of many moments in Omar El Akkad’s new book, “One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This,” that will stop you in your tracks.

There is an impulse in moments like this to appeal to self-interest. To say: These horrors you are allowing to happen, they will come to your doorstep one day; to repeat the famous phrase about who they came for first and who they'll come for next. But this appeal cannot, in matter of fact, work. If the people well served by a system that condones such butchery ever truly believed the same butchery could one day be inflicted on them, they'd tear the system down tomorrow. And anyway, by the time such a thing happens, the rest of us will already be dead.
No, there is no terrible thing coming for you in some distant future, but know that a terrible thing is happening to you now. You are being asked to kill off a part of you that would otherwise scream in opposition to injustice. You are being asked to dismantle the machinery of a functioning conscience.
Who cares if diplomatic expediency prefers you shrug away the sight of dismembered children? Who cares if great distance from the bloodstained middle allows obliviousness. Forget pity, forget even the dead if you must, but at least fight against the theft of your soul.

Also in many countries you're not allowed to marry an immigrant unless you have a massive income. The fights against borders, ableism, poverty, racism and queerphobia are all distinct, but in many ways all the same fight.

I missed this part of the story. Pretty convenient how pervasive surveillance is used to justify ubiquitous surveillance. “The federal court’s decision says that video cameras have become ‘ubiquitous,’ and have therefore diminished our expectations of privacy.”

This sums it up perfectly. It’s not a conversation.

“There is no ethical way to use the major AI image generators. All of them are trained on stolen images, and all of them are built for the purpose of deskilling, disempowering and replacing real human artists.”

This morning Israel used food as a trap, ambushing starving people trying to get aid with drones, boats, and armored vehicles - massacring 104 and counting

Al Jazeera news snippet:
Victims of Gaza City attack say they were ambushed
By Hani Mahmoud
The more we talk to people about what happened during the attack near Gaza City this morning, the more it becomes clear they feel it was a trap, an ambush.
As soon as people approached incoming trucks carrying food aid, they were shot at. There were attack drones in the sky.
There was also fire from naval forces and armoured vehicles in the vicinity.
All at once, these military forces fired at a group of people who were hungry, traumatised and displaced. People who were just trying to get their hands on whatever they could to feed their families and stay alive.

The number of dead from the attack has now risen to 104 and there are still, unfortunately, injured people left on the road. Paramedics, civil defence crew and volunteers are trying to help get these people to hospitals, but are finding it very difficult to get to the area. We are expecting the number of casualties to increase even more in the coming hours.
This is what is left for people in northern
Gaza - face starvation or risk one's life trying to get aid.

just want @courtneymilan.com to know that not matter how many people have shrieked in horror, I’ve never felt so seen lol ♡

basically, the long and short version of it is that everyone I've ever described my process to has shrieked in horror.

I write out of order; I write scenes that serve no purpose and get discarded. (Someone always says “keep them! you can reuse them!” and no I can't; they get tossed because they're generally not any good!) I have no idea what's happening until I write a scene that makes me think I need another scene half a book away and I write that one. When I finish the first draft, I have a big messy pile of steaming… well, anyway. Stuff.

I’ve seen multiple people say things like this for a very long time, and the answer is: (A) if you think someone else living in a Regime might take the fall for a mistake, you ABSOLUTELY cover their ass in emails. You make sure it’s NOT their fault at every point. You make sure they TOLD you.

In clinical trials of new treatments, when the treatment is clearly and obviously immediately effective it is sometimes considered unethical to continue to withhold it from the control group. Pretty sure we passed that milestone about a decade ago with basic income experiments.
