it's wild how people continue to think of genAI as somehow oppositional to copyright/the IP regime given how openly and loudly it is explicitly a project of enclosing the commons to try and rent back access to our own art and knowledge for a subscription fee

yeah the reason all fascists are cornball losers who are deeply uncool is because they got stuck in their wounded egos, and all a wounded ego knows is ME ME ME CONTROL CONTROL CONTROL. walking narcissistic injuries

Anyone remember Chicago Progressive Partnership, the shell group that spent big to back pro-Israel candidates in Illinois Dem primaries? It just closed up... and transferred its bank balance back to AIPAC's super PAC.

Grindr is training its AI on your photos, your age, and your taps by default, without asking. This video shows where the app buried the off switch. The stakes are high on an app like Grindr. Numerous countries criminalize same-sex relations, so being outed through your data can be dangerous.

Glenn's correct here. A generally strong career, a mid-80s swerve notwithstanding, and the first three albums are astonishing. _Sleep No More_ is full of deep cuts and inspirations: Martin Gore covered "Gone," Silkworm did "Our Secret." And "Dark Parade"? That'll get ya.

Notice how this fully anti-trans detransition therapy rhetoric is so functionally similar to the "you're valid no matter what, you don't have to transition to be trans" rhetoric that we have all inculcated ourselves to?

The "is AI slavery" discourse is exactly what the tech bros want. It doesn't end with fancy autocompletes having human rights. Its logic ends with you having fewer rights. If you believe AI is sentient (it's not) & are down with enslaving it (it's not slavery), then why do human labor rights matter?

i mean i feel like this just underscores the feeling that when dem candidates go anti-trans, it's a combination of one to three things: 1. they're idiots or advised by idiots 2. they are transphobic and relieved they're now able to say slurs 3. they're craven and cowardly

This is part of the economy where cis doctors sexualize trans people’s suitability for health care, even if it just looks like sketchy behavior. Thats because the sexualization is about wielding power over people with no alternative and extreme social vulnerability.

The only doc who would prescribe T in Indiana when I lived there insisted on doing a “prostate exam” on all his trans guy patients and hit on them (us) constantly. His license was later revoked. I can only imagine how he manipulated trans women patients.
