What is a token

AI is meant to seem like magic. But there's no such thing as magic. It's all illusion. So, allow me to spoil that illusion for you.

for two months, I've been flying drones over Flock cameras to situation them in space and geography; I even got my commercial drone license in order to do it. I'd like to share this project with you all: it's called Records Of Enemy Surveillance: recordsofenemysurveillance.com

I still think the biggest threats from software automation have very mundane human origins, and the claims of looming superintelligence both misrepresent the tech's capabilities for marketing purposes and to provide ethical distance for company responsibility

World of Warcraft (derogatory) Don't get me wrong, i played it off and on for a few years, and enjoyed it for most of that time. But at some point I noticed the Skinner box, and then I couldn't stop noticing it. And that spilled out into other games, too

Generative AI is the boon that turns the latent hyper-surveillance state into a fully functioning fascist prison society. The cost (both computational and social) to fabricate evidence has now fallen through the floor and is now widely available to everyone. Including participatory vigilante mobs.

Sharing some Black joy as one of the most revolutionary acts against supremacy, in all its form...this highlights the lie that is the myth of white supremacy. Because no group of people, in this country, has more reason to be joyless in the face of ongoing harm...and we're not! youtu.be/f5l7xy7VkPM

everyone is pointing out that he doesn't pay taxes, so doubling that is still zero. Which is true, insofar as it goes. But the federal government also massively subsidizes his businesses. His effective tax rate is negative. And if you double that, it's still bad for the "teacher in Queens"

Related to my previous note about AI literacy... I think that very often the more you *actually* learn about AI (how it works, how it's built, what's behind it, what its impacts are, who controls it -- not "how to use it") the more critical you are likely to become. bsky.app/profile/cfie...
