I don’t know what to say anymore. Tearful this morning after reading what the U.S. has done to the sick and ill in Cuba: “Late last night, a report came in that patients on ventilators at the Hermanos Ameijeiras Hospital have died.” Trump is running an imperialist necropolitical regime.

NEW: For the first time, ProPublica has been able to quantify how many U.S. citizen children have been directly affected by Trump’s immigration crackdown: more than 11,000 kids had a parent detained — and that’s an undercount. 1/ 🧵 www.propublica.org/article/trum...

A ProPublica analysis of new ICE data shows that Trump has detained parents of U.S. citizen children at about twice the rate that Biden did, and moms have been deported four times as often.

Screenshot of a post from Mark Gadala-Maria @markgadala that reads: 

This is wild.
143 million people thought they were catching Pokémon. They were actually building one of the largest real-world visual datasets in Al history.
Niantic just disclosed that photos and AR scans collected through Pokémon Go have produced a dataset of over 30 billion real-world images. The company is now using that data to power visual navigation Al for delivery robots.
Players didn't just walk around with their phones.
They scanned landmarks, storefronts, parks, and sidewalks from every angle, at every time of day, in lighting and weather conditions that staged photography would never capture. They documented the physical world at a scale no mapping company with a fleet of vehicles could have replicated on the same timeline or budget.
The most valuable Al training datasets in the world aren't being assembled in data centers. They're being built by people who have no idea they're building them.
