Nationalism is chametz, during Passover and always! Right now, the Pharaohs of our time are carrying out a campaign of mass slaughter and destruction across Palestine, Iran, and Lebanon — claiming to do so in the name of Judaism.

CAIL = prerequisite knowledge for a critical perspective, such as to tell apart nonsense hype from true theoretical computer scientific claims. For example, the idea that human-like systems are a sensible or possible goal is the result of circular reasoning and anthropomorphism. olivia.science/ai 🧵

Repudiating generative AI wherever possible has now become a moral duty. It is an act of rebellion, an environmental stance, political resistance against technofascism, and our strongest weapon against the Silicon Valley billionaire class. Burst the bubble.

Gaza is now single deadliest conflict for journalists in history. This is not only an attempt to extinguish a whole people, it is also an attempt to extinguish the story of their genocide. “One day, everyone will have always been against this.” - Egyptian-Canadian writer, Omar El Akkad. #Gaza
The city of Beit Hanoun in the north east edge of Gaza is seen from above. It is completely destroyed, not a single building is standing. It is all rubble, as though the aftermath of a nuclear explosion. The city had a population of 52,000
