This video was filmed in Palestine. My heart struggles to comprehend such cruelty and the heartbreaking disregard for human life. No human being should have to endure this.

this weekend i was at a hacker conference and talked to a woman who told me she thought ai could be marxist (?) and then sheepishly shared that her estimates of her own token usage were "burning 300 acres of trees a year"

it's a shame how many white collar tech workers i see who have such a defensive posture about the anti-AI crowd, and smear them as reactionary and uninformed. disturbing lack of solidarity (esp international) bc you are in precisely the only workforce benefiting from the tech.

As a big fan of libraries, I was thrilled to learn about the work Hannah and @flexlibris.bsky.social are doing to give the public the critical information they’re looking for about the products tech companies are pushing on them. Support your local library (and library workers)!

don't worry i did not take it as criticism! shareability is really important. we used to make our stuff as jpegs before realizing the issues that images have w accessibility tools.

Alison Macrina @flexlibris.bsky.social · 07/05/2026
we use PDFs for screen reader and other accessibility needs, and unfortch we don't have the capacity as a tiny org to offer multiple file formats to download. but! you can always screenshot to make a png or jpeg for easier sharing. that's what i did on this post! thanks for sharing and supporting ❤️

Alison Macrina @flexlibris.bsky.social · 07/05/2026
we're doing a big accessibility review and reorganization of our resources at libraryfreedom.org/resources, so it's a little chaotic over there right now. but if you click around, you'll find other AI refusal docs, plus other educational materials for taking your agency back from Big Tech

we heard you hate AI, so at LFP we've been making resources for turning off AI features across the web. but we also don't think AI problems can be solved at an individual level, so we included some of our fav tools for community resistance as well. more to download free at libraryfreedom.org

yes sorry i understood and then replied again - we cover things like SLMs and open weight models in the "skeptics guide". local here = your local government.

Alison Macrina @flexlibris.bsky.social · 14/04/2026
oh i see where you read that. what we mean by "local AI use" is like - finding out if your city or town is using some kind of "AI"

Alison Macrina @flexlibris.bsky.social · 14/04/2026
we made this programming in response to a lot of library workers telling us they're required to "make AI part of their jobs". so we figured offering curriculum that criticizes it and helps people plug into local resistence efforts is the move.

In the last few days, there's been a lot of fearful chatter about how "ICE NOW HAS THE CAPABILITIES TO HACK INTO ANY PHONE" with Paragon Systems Graphite spyware. This isn't an accurate assessment of how the spyware works and who is at risk, so at LFP we made some graphics to help folks understand.
