Massive thanks to We&AI for tonight's launch of the AI Resist List. Here I am talking @hopeful.technology to a room of people very happy to whoop and cheer despite being on a lecture theatre approx the same temperature as the surface of the sun 💪 📸 @gitika-saksena.bsky.social 😍

Hope starts here. 🌱 @hopeful.technology @rachelcoldicutt.bsky.social @gitika-saksena.bsky.social @debbieball.bsky.social At the #LondonDataWeek for the AI Resist List Launch ✨

Hello, everyone! A little about us: We are a solidarity network that: 1) Strengthens and activates Hopeful Technologists, so more people can make, advocate for and stand-up for the technology they believe in and want.

These pause AI nonsense calls have been happening for a long time. It's always about power because they wanna consolidate and stop racing against each other for no gains. Here's a previous time of many they tried the same silliness: futureoflife.org/open-letter/...
