A daughter of Queens. Obsessed with live music, NYC sports, and unlearning all the lies I've ever been told about how we're meant to live. Working in Big Tech is what convinced me it shouldn't exist. "AI" is BS. Free 🇭🇹🇵🇸🇨🇩🇸🇩 and all oppressed peoples.

I like this notetaking example. it is a good case of how gender works. Notetaking has never been about producing a transcript. It is a bureaucratic skill in the 20th c. organixarion because it is SENSEMAKING. Those women socialized to take notes? They have been doing men’s metacognition for them

Notetaking in meetings is tiny case in point - used to be some predictable social assumptions who would do it; now anyone can offer to do ”notetaking” by turning on the AI listener. Further interesting scenario is human recollection / notes (taken by habit by a person) conflict with AI summary

People tend to not hone in on this part but one of the biggest reasons AIPAC is so noxious for Democrats in particular is because the majority of their donors are Republicans and the majority of their endorsees are Republicans. It's bad that a Democrat courts them and votes with Republicans.

Haley Stevens’ biggest donor? AIPAC. Maybe that’s why Stevens was just one of 12 Democrats to vote with Republicans to send over $14 billion of our tax dollars for weapons for Israel to commit genocide. Michigan, reject Haley Stevens next Tuesday.

Yo I cannot stop watching these videos of Katy Perry crowd surfing in that giant plastic bottle and getting stuck in the crowd 🤣🤣 Her team must hate her because how did nobody tell her what a DUMB idea it was

This tech fundamentally alters the way people are able to express their basic human rights, and is incompatible with any society that claims to be free. As people understand the capabilities of the tech and how widespread it is, the backlash is entirely understandable.

People tolerate Ring cameras, cellphones, and CCTV cameras — but Flock Safety has some filling city council meetings in protest.

Mister Rogers would worry about the children, the people who are going hungry. He cared about children, about his neighbors. He would give Ms. Rachel the biggest hug, he would proudly take her hand, and would say aloud, "Feed them all."

Mister Rogers feeds his fish in a purple cardigan while smiling. Text reads, “Mister Rogers would say aloud "I'm feeding the fish" each epiosde as he fed the fish because of a letter he received from a young blind girl writing to tell him she was worried the fish were hungry.

Absolutely devastating. I've seen Glen perform more times than I can count, to the point where it felt like going to see an old friend. He was one of one. I'll miss him forever.

If you don't want to empower right-wing fascist authoritarians right now, you should call both Kathy Hochul and Tish James and tell them to suspend enforcement the SAFE act immediately Tish James ☎️: (800) 771-7755 Kathy Hochul ☎️: (518) 474-8390 bsky.app/profile/chim...

This means that it would be trivial for law enforcement to run queries to find the real-life identities of people who do things like post about ICE, or abortion, or Palestine, or being queer, or any other group they want to target.

I 100% have not changed a single goddamn thing about how I write here in the age of "AI." I write how I write. If the "AI" writes anything like how I write, it's because it stole from me. I'm gonna use any punctuation I like, and if it looks "AI"ish to you, you can go fuck yourself.

Authors and journalists are doing more first-person (hello 2010s blogging) and embracing "mistakes" in writing to prove they're not chatbots. There's even an “anti-Grammarly" app that leaves in typos and signs off "sent from my iPhone" to create more authenticity: www.wired.com/story/more-t...

As of this week, hundreds of thousands of Haitians lost their legal status. Most have lost work permits as well. That's left many people unable to support themselves. Here is a verified link to a fundraiser supporting Haitians in Springfield. Please drop links to other fundraisers in the replies.

Then that's the end of social media for me, I guess. Too much is being done under the guise of "protecting kids" when it does nothing of the sort. This is just an excuse to keep expanding data collection and mass surveillance.

Really frustrating that nobody is talking about this. New York's new surveillance law will go into effect in a few months, requiring things like government identification or biometric face scans in order to use social media platforms (like Bluesky). gothamist.com/news/ny-soci...
