"A.i." is a tool of fascism. These LLMs are controlled by far right billionaires and absolutely can be manipulated to crank up racism, bigotry, and fascist lies. Keep this shit out of schools, government, and every aspect of your lives.

“It’s not ALL men.” None of the 50+ men the Cornell rapists invited to come join them in raping a woman they’d drugged went to the authorities or tried to stop it. Not all men would rape an unconscious woman, but where are the men who’d try to stop it, or EVEN FUCKING OBJECT?

The FAI repeatedly told us players would be protected. Yet when a 24 year old acted on his conscience, they left him to stand alone & used a vote among his teammates to validate their own cowardice. This isn’t protecting a young player, it’s protecting themselves at his expense. #StopTheGame

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

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:

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.

Sport deranges people sometimes. The same people who'd abuse an Irish singer if they went to Eurovision and feel all righteous about it, will be all "Ahhhh but the poor wee football lads want to win points and the poor fellas can't be expected to stand up and not play. Sure they love the football!"

Thanks for the kind words and high praise. I do what I can to support indie creators, but have also been consistent in my firm stance against AI use in creative art and writing as I feel it's a dead end plague that hurts the industry far more than helps it, so I'm not interested in sharing your campaign. I know it's tough to establish a creative career and stand out in a crowded market but, for me, this kind of AI-generated art and video does not look professional, polished or well designed, it just has an off-putting glossy veneer of homogenous rendered stuff all thoughtlessly crashing together. Take care.
