Liz Ahern 🌈🇲🇽🏳️⚧️☮️@austinmermaid.bsky.social · 3d agoBilly, the music loving dog is taken to the music hall filled with musicians practicing and listens for the sound that pleases him the most. It’s the cello. 🎻 He lays down basking in the waves of sounds he chose out of all the others. Music is the universal language. #DogsofBluesky #MusicSky
Never buying Taylor farms anything again, never.
Chad Loder@chadloder.dev · 4d agoThe diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.

That was fast. Google sent me a statement saying it is now “rolling back“ this AI feature after our demonstration and others from OSINT researchers www.404media.co/google-earth...

@newsfromgoogle.bsky.social I'd already decided to eliminate everything Google/Alphabet from my tech stack and this is just reinforcing my decision. Your company is a goddamn disaster.
Eliot Higgins@eliothiggins.bsky.social · 6d agoGoogle Earth, a tool often used as a source of satellite imagery to verify photos and videos, has added a feature that allows you to alter satellite imagery with AI, for reasons. blog.google/products-and...
This is how innocent people get bombed.
Faine Greenwood@faineg.bsky.social · 6d agoI used to do some work on the ethical use of satellite and drone imagery for aid and disaster response, and it is genuinely hard to express in words what a dangerous, stupid thing Google is doing by making it easy to use GenAI to create faked satellite imagery:
Oh for god's sake. Error-prone LLMs aren't going to destroy the world, but the tech industry's greed, capital misallocation and environmental destruction are certainly doing their part to fuck things up.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 6d agoBARTIROMO: It feels like we're moving into a Terminator-type world HASSETT: I hope not and I think not. AI companies definitely have an incentive not to destroy the world. That would destroy their companies too.
Another one. I'll never understand these guys, undermining promising public service with godawful dumbshit behavior.
Politico@politico.com · 6d agoUPDATE: Mandela Barnes dropped out of the Democratic primary for Wisconsin governor, as progressive state lawmaker Francesca Hong surges in the polls. The announcement comes as state Dems brace for damaging media reports about Barnes.
I think Brynden decided this is home. He's making sure his full perimeter is marked in the morning, he kicks the dirt behind him afterwards, he's sitting by the pond, he's wooing at neighbors. And inside, he's having zoomies, napping in different rooms, & leaving toys everywhere. 1/2 #UglyDogs
Meanwhile, I spent part of my morning reading this. Upshot? Yeah, I'll take an organic egg on toast, thanks, and the tech industry can stop behaving like a pyromaniac in a paper house. unu.edu/inweh/collec...

Stephen Miller said just the other day that all asylum claims are "fake." A couple deported from the U.S. to Guatemala were gagged, bound, and shot dead. Their 14-month old found crying next to their mother's body. People like Miller don't care though because this is the point: ethnic cleansing.
Overland couple shot dead in Guatemala after local ICE stop led to deportations
The couple’s 14-month-old daughter was found crying beside her mother’s body in a sugarcane field last week, according to Guatemalan authorities and media.

While we are in this Greek Mythology moment, may I remind you that Emma Thompson is adapting Pat Barker’s take on The Iliad, and she’s struggled to get it made bc the focus on what acts of war against women and survival thereafter actually look like (the core of Barker’s narrative) is too intense.

The actress told the Hay Festival she is writing a film version of Pat Barker’s The Silence of the Girls to draw attention to sexual abuse in war zones
