This video was filmed in Palestine. My heart struggles to comprehend such cruelty and the heartbreaking disregard for human life. No human being should have to endure this.

ProPublica spoke to dozens of people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.” We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words. ➡️ This is what they wrote:

Handwritten notecard. Prompt at the top asks: What object was most devastating for you to lose, and how have you been coping? Answer below: Dentures. Were thrown away and coping isn't somthing I can do. It’s made me feel ugly, unworthy, can’t go get a job with no teeth. So how can get off the streets until another pair can be made?

the average tech exec and venture capitalist and honestly an alarming amount of bay area software engineers have close to zero interaction or connection with regular people, and the richer they are, the more isolated they've become. They have built rationalizations for everything.

The more that stories like this get leaked, the more I'm convinced that there's some exec that everyone hates pushing AI and creators are rushing to make up useless busywork for a program to do just to get the exec to shut up and go away.

I hate the game “industry”. I’ve wasted the last year of my life trying to stay and do something good to help ship games. I was lucky to have found jobs. But I just can’t keep going like this. My exit at 2K isn’t a layoff. I’m quitting. I don’t have a job lined up. And I’m pretty fucked.

"There have been a lot of concerns about what happens post-buyout, and responses [from management] are mostly just vague reassurances. It hasn't done enough to quell a lot of the fears over job security or creative influences with Saudi owners."

most murders are committed by someone the victim knows - a partner, neighbor etc. but in cases where there is no relationship between murderer & victim? the killer is a cop about a third of the time. if you are killed by a stranger, there is a 1 in 3 chance that stranger is a cop.

LAPD is literally going to bankrupt the city due to their unrelenting violence. The mayor & city council will continue to increase LAPD’s $3.5 billion, sending the message that the police are free to keep attacking Angelenos, especially since the settlements don’t come out of the LAPD budget.

When claims are filed against officers, the settlement funds don't come out of the LAPD'S
budget but from the city's.
"The message from the city, the mayor, City Council, is that LAPD is free to go out and attack and assault Angelenos, and their budget will remain the
same,
," Ricci Sergienko says.
"The city
will continue to go broke paying these settlements. It's just ridiculous."

One of our volunteers advocated for more trash cans. The nearby encampment wasn't getting enough trash pickup for its own needs, let alone for the illegal dumping it was getting. The city councilmember added several trash cans, a simple, cost-effective alternative to pricey, ineffective sweeps.

if a position of authority can be misused in this way, that position of authority should not exist. It's clearly not enough to simply change who is in that position, no more than praying that the next king be better than the last.

The idea that (white) American farmers and ranchers are the "true volk" while cities are a sore on the body politic, filled with greedy merchants and mobs of laborers, is the foundational, racist blood-and-soil myth of America that still pervades all of society including mainstream media.

Hey dipshits, campus protests usually have a nexus to the school administration's policies (e.g. university support for Israel's government). When college students protest ICE (as hundreds of thousands did) they go to where ICE is, they don't set up in the college quad.

Anyway, AI is a managerial technology that came out of fields where researchers act more like managers than researchers and this is not a coincidence. It’s fundamentally related to why certain people jumped at the chance to try to build certain kinds of systems that devalued (other people’s) work.
