Ken Paxton is selling off Texas — our land, our water, our communities. Data centers bankroll Paxton, they get tax breaks, and you get stuck with the bill. We can’t afford Ken Paxton’s corruption. (This ad was made by humans — not AI.)

Friends, I'm turning 40 tomorrow. I can't celebrate now because I'm too damn busy with the election. I'll celebrate afterward. So, to help me celebrate now, please--oh, please--check your voter registration. It takes a few moments. It's easy. Do it for me: midterms.voteamerica.org/vote/verify/...

It is now widely understood that AI is an industrial tool directed primarily to create profit for digital corporations and their shareholders, not altruistically to augment human intelligence, nor to ease the burden of production.

AI as War, Surveillance, and Environmental Disaster
The creators of AI are so enamored of their products that they have lost sight of their responsibility to insist upon the ethical, moral, and environmentally sound use of all applications and ends.
