More cops have been arrested for using flock cameras to stalk women than there are transgender athletes in youth sports.

it’s crazy how so much of the right wing cultural push is just ‘let’s all pretend we never learned how bad/complex all this stuff is and go back to the way things were when we were ignorant’ ngl I get why it’s powerful messaging but it really is the death of knowledge/growth/expertise

This is so disgusting. A new low for the organization. The HWA’s members deserve better. Indigenous horror writers deserve better.
Tiffany Morris@tiffmorris.bsky.social · 21h agoSo apparently that HWA pro-AI newsletter also uses Indigenous water rights issues as a prop, trivializing the activism by Indigenous peoples to protect our water including specific anti-data centre actions. I guess they figured why not alienate Indigenous horror writers while they’re at it?
hey man don't look now but i think i see your sworn rival. the one that the prophecy foretold of
all my interactions with ai are miserable and nonconsensual. it is the reason my programs are running slowly, why my weather report is inaccurate, why I always get connected to the wrong department of any automated call service. I would pay a lot of money to be rid of it.

Sadly, it's not just billionaires who use ableist slurs. Many people who consider themselves to be allies seem to believe that as long as they're referring to a terrible person, insults related to their intellect, age, or some illness or disability are acceptable. They're not. #AbleismAwareness

Jujutsu Kaisen, despite all its other problems, will forever get huge amounts of credit from me for having Maki try to prove herself to her abusive, misogynist family, fail, realize they will never accept her, and simply murder them all instead (and this is treated as unambiguously justified)
As the sun peeks over the horizon, a small parcel of books from the interlibrary loan program appears on the roof of the wizard's tower.
This kind of take always baffles me. Nolan's film is the biggest movie around, racking in money, and getting glowing reviews (including from academics). If the biggest most popular works can't get critical debate, then what can? Frankly Nolan is probably delighted. It helps the film to have debate
Robert Borden Stan Account@bordenstan.bsky.social · yesterdayIf the academy gets pulled into coming out swinging against the biggest adaptation of Homer in probably a couple generations off the back of one prominent scholar deciding to be Reviewer 2 to Nolan's work, it will say, IMO, pretty damning things about academia's ability to foster public engagement.
she's deployed this strategy again and again, only deviating where her vote was a deciding one, a la Kavanaugh
Charlotte Clymer@charlotteclymer.bsky.social · yesterdaySusan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.
Putting these @ettingermentum.bsky.social posts here mainly because "One day we will get you that free childcare for your children with names from the Titanic manifest and you will deserve it more than anyone has ever deserved anything" is a perfect sentence.
The govt has fired *all* the immigration attorneys representing detained children and given a $150 million contract to a 26-employee law firm in Texas with ONE immigration attorney. @theyoungcenter.bsky.social's Child Advocates are now the last line of defense for kids in deportation hearings.

We're running, walking, cycling 20,000 miles in September to raise money to get immigrant kids out of detention and back with family. Someone who kayaks to work is dedicating his miles to Waymakers!

I don’t see how Obama can possibly consolidate the democrats behind him with this narrow a margin in the primary
Adam Muraski@adammuraski.bsky.social · 6h agoThat is not a question for me. I am only overly interested bc I grew up in Ann Arbor. I live in Milwaukee now. I don’t see AES moving to be a consensus candidate with the veracity required to overcome barely pulling off a win with a plurality.
buddy i have never used it. i don't know how to use it. i don't know if it's an app or what. i will never use it. if it disappeared today i'd go out and celebrate because it being gone would be instantly great for the planet and humanity

This. Aside from the commonly known data scraping it's created an exhausting amount of scams to the point real creators are drowned out. Gen AI scammers steal creator process videos to make their own fake sob stories WHILE appropriating minority identities to sell their shitty drop-shipped crap.🙃
Casey Explosion@caseyexplosion.bsky.social · 20h agoGonna be blunt, the reason I complain about AI so much is because it's made so much extra work for me, as I'm inundated with AI slopware games that I have to sort through and filter out, if this garbage tech ceased to exist tomorrow, it would be an immediate ease of that workload.
Hey remember when Nanowrimo said "sure why not" to allowing AI slop in their process and then immediately died after 20 years of operation oh, no reason, was just thinkin' about it
I just want to say that you will make me immortal over my dead body. From dust I was made and to dust I was meant to return and these Silicon Valley motherfuckers and their pathological fear of mortality can't stop me.
Jeremy Diamond ☕️@dmnd.me · 22h agoThird: In the absence of clear direct benefits, people are just going to focus on the losses. Any use of AI to justify layoffs will blow back on the big tech companies, even if they're not the ones conducting layoffs. Execs think they can discipline their labor forces for free. They're wrong.

aside from the moral and base opinion shift problems a good reason for democrats not to take money from aipac is that aipac works to defeat democrats
Andrew Solender@andrewsolender.bsky.social · 10h agoAIPAC: "Our members remain determined to ensure that voters reject Dr. El-Sayed and his radical anti-Israel agenda in November."
if you're reading all these articles as they come out and assuming the story is "these models are escaping containment and causing danger" and not "this is a PR campaign by companies desperate to build hype" I think you are very silly.
Alex Hanna@alexhanna.bsky.social · 2h agoIt keeps happening... It'd be great if these companies could spend a little bit more time on network security and a little less time vibe coding.

I feel a smarter person can flesh this out more, but I feel this is related to how sexualized women's feet have become. So much so that they feel uncomfortable showing them. Reaffirming that it is inherently sexual. Eventually leading to YT deleting channels based on "feet are boobs now."
Sam Cole@samleecole.bsky.social · 5d agoa bunch of popular ASMR artists lost their channels forever this week, after YouTube cited them for violating terms against "sexually gratifying" content: www.404media.co/youtube-asmr...
