I would also urge people to lean into a culture of rebellious care right now. Our empathy and our refusal to abandon each other are at the heart of what they seek to destroy, and these things fuel all meaningful opposition—as MK and I discussed in our book, Let This Radicalize You.

When we all get plugged into the government's AI infinity prison for crimes against Jesus or whatever I hope they count every single second I've spent on the phone with an "AI assistant" begging, with increasingly clear articulation, to talk to a human as time served.

It really really should not be lost on anyone that the reason that the US government wants to live-stream executions is for the *exact* same reasons that neo-nazi accelerationists live-stream shootings

This IS what this country is. It's not the only thing that it is but it is absolutely violent and barbaric. The US. is one of 55 countries that still maintain capital punishment. 140 countries have abolished it. This IS what this country is. Might as well televise the killings.

This by Courtney Maum is where I am too. I am grateful to her for the words...
For me, the subject of AI detection is an ouroboros. I’ll speak only for myself, here is my opinion. I didn’t ask for artificial intelligence. It’s not something I need, it is not something I desire. And yet, it barged its way into my life and stole all of my books. All of them. Stole them. Trained off of them. Did not compensate me for this theft. So now, AI can write a book like me, because it stole my own work and learned my breed of humor and satire. So if someone runs an AI text detector on my creative output, it will probably “test positive” why? Because AI is a contaminant that has embedded itself into my work by stealing it and using my own work to perpetuate itself. It will test for itself and find AI there because it AI is a virus that has contaminated the DNA of my current and future writing—a form of intellectual rape. A kind of colonization. A raging plague that some gatekeepers are opening the door for.

If you ask me what I’m currently working on, the answer is nothing book-length. I’m not going to publish a new book in this current landscape. That’s a stance of privilege, I recognize that. And I can’t hold this stance forever, I can hold it as long as I have savings from my last book.

This current literary climate isn’t acceptable. It is not acceptable to have a thing thrust upon us that takes absolutely everything, and then be forced to prove that we are not the thieves.

Creating an "AI" avatar of your dead loved one w/o their input or consent, & saying that it counts "the same" as the dead loved one— ESPECIALLY as evidence in a MURDER TRIAL— is both a massive misunderstanding of what "AI" is & how it works, & a hugely dehumanizing insult to said dearly departed.

The ICE Air Operations official handbook allows minors as young as 13 to be shackled on ICE flights. We don’t know this girl/young woman’s age, but if she is over 18, it probably isn’t by much. I don’t know how those flight “guards” sleep at night.

Exactly this. And in fact, many models *have* been created this way, and decades of prior machine learning systems *were* created this way, consensually. These things are choices! People are STILL working this way! It’s not just that a better world is possible — it already EXISTS. We can nurture it.

This has often been the case. It's worth noting that the land to the south was the same ranch as the land where the camp is until the border divided it. There was, at one point, a tree sit on the Mexican side. The canopy used to cover the whole area where the road is now.
