Three years of livestreamed genocide and more than a dozen years of live-documented extrajudicial killings by police and vigilantes have trained you for the coming era of state-sponsored public executions

Every news article about business leaders and/or social strife should mention that a cabal of billionaires and their trillionaire buddy are currently and explicitly trying to accelerate social collapse so they can be neofeudal kings in digital paradise forever. I dunno, seems like important context

Exactly this. And in fact, many models *have* been created this way, and decades of prior machine learning systems *were* created this way, consensually. These things are choices! People are STILL working this way! It’s not just that a better world is possible — it already EXISTS. We can nurture it.

His is a fundamental misunderstanding of the locus and purpose of the faith. The Christian faith is not marriage nor procreation or hetero normality The faith is the sufficiency of Christ…. Everything else is just wrapping paper for bigotry

Samuel Alito probably knows how to be a Christian... he probably knows how to be thoughtful, considerate, caring... But he has no desire to concede the point ... The messiah in his faith is not Jesus... it's power.

We used to call this stupidity. There were smart people and stupid people and we let the smart people do the things they were good at and the stupid people were taken care of and didn't need to worry about what the smart people were doing. But now we let the stupid people think they're smart.

This morning a driver crashed onto the sidewalk exactly where my kids walk past on the way to school. This happened shortly before they came along. I have asked my local @brumgreens.bsky.social councillor to demand that this road be closed to cars until the current road works are complete.
A car crashed onto the pavement where pedestrians, including my children, pass every day.

CRANE, a UK cybersecurity research network, used AI to desk-reject 50% of proposals before human review, including one on the risks of trusting AI models in voice analysis from Lancaster University forensic linguist Claire Hardaker. This seems like AI doing the right thing in protecting itself. 🙃

Major flash flooding in Spain yesterday. In Madrigueras (Albacete), 142 mm fell in just 2.5 hours, killing one woman, while many others had to be rescued. These "DANA" events are not uncommon, but record warm Mediterranean water now provides further 'fuel' to them. www.eltiempo.es/noticias/mad...

The Cornell 7 we’re all talking about? That story was broken in the work of Cereese Qusba, who is a reporter at The Ithaca Voice and a news editor at The Cornell Daily Sun, two independent newspapers. She is still herself, a student at Cornell University.

The invisible labor (often performed by women and marginalized folks) that keeps organizations afloat remains hidden and uncompensated. But those musing about AI's "transformation" of work have probably always benefited from this kind of labor in all parts of their life and don't see it as work.

Put another way, to be legible enough for AI to be useful to most families, they would have to stop communicating as the family they have known, never had to overtly think about, and become something stranger and coarser that has no cultural foundation. Why would I do that?

I think we need to differentiate between “AI uses a lot of water!” (not necessarily bad on its own) and “AI stresses local water supplies” (a potentially real issue). The distinction is important because even “modest” use can cause serious issues, especially given the locations of data centers
