This piece by @doctorow.pluralistic.net in @locusmag.bsky.social remains my favorite piece about today's politics surrounding the tech we're currently calling AI. I reread it last night (listened, actually via Doctorow's podcast) and his reading is a treat. locusmag.com/feature/comm...

Commentary: Cory Doctorow: Technopolitics

It’s one thing to be “anti-AI” in the sense of believing that AI-generated slop, disinformation and deepfakes are bad; that AI companies that hope to con your boss into firing you and replacing you…

4/ Fernando Vasquez, an 18-year-old citizen, was on break from work when agents chased and handcuffed him, then put him in their truck. After realizing their mistake, the agents left the teen alone in the woods, with no way to get home. Then they threw his ID out of the truck.

I always feel weird taking a shower too close to a friend coming over and making them walk into my steam if they need to use the bathroom. I didn't mean to create such a sensual welcome. I was just sweaty from walking my dog earlier.

The fantasy among white people that the key to changing other white people's minds is presenting the right set of facts is such a problem, I struggled with it earlier in my career and found, as others before and after have, that the threshold for persuasion moves to undermine the facts

The post-war "peace dividend" owed its existence to three factors: industrial capacity, political freedom and pent-up demand.

They intro’d him with vagaries: “a past that was unresolved” (20+ active lawsuits) and “a 10-game suspension for violating the league’s conduct policy” (for what? should we mention what?!) He repeatedly said HE needed to learn to forgive (no follow-ups allowed, like “FORGIVE WHO AND FOR WHAT?”)

So I’ve got this right: While the whole country is talking about the Cornell 7 the folks behind TNF decided to run an interview w/ a QB accused of sexual assault & harassment by two dozen women. An interview that never mentioned the crimes and had (clearly) pre-approved questions & no follow-ups.
