No one owes you forgiveness. Sometimes people will not want to be in community with you after they deem you unsafe or untrustworthy. You are not being victimized if you in fact did something unsafe and untrustworthy.

OK. Just a reminder that they didn't get into bed with all these military drone/camera tracking/data silo companies for no reason at all. This is connecting the most basic of dots. Also Musk is back with the administration. Trump talks about drones a LOT.

Researching LOUD AND CLEAR, I encountered Ken “Goldfinger” Connell—and filed him away. What I found on returning is a story about the death of an old America and how descendants of an infamous drug smuggler are reconciling with the past. Read now on @playboy.com: www.playboy.com/read/celebri...

Kenneth Connell moved through the Grateful Dead’s world like a character out of one of their songs. His relative are just now piecing together the life he kept hidden.

They're holding up a major escalation in Iran and a crackdown on abortion until after the midterms to limit political damage. To the extent that the last two years have been a right-wing smash-and-grab operation, the next two will be worse.

Unlike the unscientific and fantastical claims of OpenAI and Anthropic CEOs and those who uncritically repeat their talking points, the harmful, and well-documented, impacts of these companies’ products have arisen because people believe that the products are superintelligent, not because they actually are.

“Even my solo records in the past, where it’s layers of guitar stuff, a lot of it is literally just throwing everything up in the air and seeing how it lands. Or randomly turning on two different things, hearing what they sound like together and going, ‘oh, wow, that’s really bizarre.’”

In many ways, the only thing boys need to learn are the lessons we already teach girls. They need to learn to be part of a community. And if they understand that, then the lessons on consent and sexual violence come naturally.

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI
recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best.

It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.

Tangentially, this is another example of how misogyny (like all bigotry) makes people's brains smooth. Calling this a "false binary" gives it too much credence, there's no substance here beyond the misogyny. If you think the AI pessimists are right, there are many other paths available, such as:

I read this story and can’t help think of the breathless coverage media has given these delusional fantasies about superintelligent AI killing humanity in ten years, when companies are releasing tools coaching mass shooters and helping people kill themselves. People need to wake the fuck up.

New — I had the opportunity to see NAZA, the documentary freaking out the Israeli government because of its horrifying firsthand descriptions of the way the IDF has used AI to target and massacre Palestinian civilians. My thoughts on the film’s damning revelations, and the banality of evil:
thehandbasket.co
I saw the documentary the Israeli government doesn’t want you to see
'NAZA' dispels once and for all the myth that the IDF didn't target civilians in Gaza.
