Cory Doctorow: The people who tell you ‘AI is changing everything’ are lying

It has become impossible to tell managers mesmerised by artificial intelligence that the tools are not, in fact, helpful. So employees just play along with the fiction to keep their jobs, writes our t...

MBTI is horoscopes for people who think the zodiac is too pagan.

Haven't touched oil paint since the 90s. So here are two tiny peices. Going to try to make a couple per week to get a feel for the medium.

Man, painters are just on another level. Just listened to an oil painter spend 20 minutes trying to describe and explain red iron oxide without ever uttering the word "rust" Yeah, man, we know iron oxide can be red sometimes in nature.

Windows peaked with XP. And even that wasn't very good.

Every time I see the swedish nazi party (Sverigedemokraterna) set up a campaigning spot, I have the urge to tell them about the medals my great grandfather got for shooting their predecessors.

In a hundred years, what point do you think historians will settle on as the death of the american project? It never lived up to its claimed values, but where will it have been declared unrecoverable?

ICE is kidnapping and raping women, killing women in cold blood in the streets, and suspected of trafficking missing kids facility to facility as parents and advocates search for their whereabouts. And now they have been given complete and total immunity from accountability.

Yeah, hi. Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but We're nationalizing your harem. Yeah, I understand your frustration, but we had a vote Yeah, it was pretty much unanimous Uhuh, even in the harem. They said they'd like to see other people. All of the other people. My condolences, comrade.

Shit. Shipping company lost a package. Several months of searching for something so simple. Now lost. I guess if anyone knows of a pocket timer that can do hours anywhere in the EU, let me know. It's kind of important.

The two most cowardly things a person can be are fascist and cop. And I am pretty sure the distinction is without difference.

Google's shitty AI sure loves to make up weird numbered rules about things nobody was asking for. I've got a medical degree. We rarely use numbers for this. Awful backronyms and nmemonics are far more our vibe. Nobody is going to remember a 7 - 3 - 0 rule (but 621, we've got down)

Lol, a bunch of the people offended by chart for dinner have blocked me.

I'd say she's about to serve as an example of how quickly throwing a vulnerable minority under the bus will ruin a dem campaign, but the dems don't understand examples, they just blame the minorities. But good job handing Ohio to the republicans, Amy.

Ohioans are tough. But when working hard isn’t enough to make ends meet, something has to change. As governor, I plan to bring that change by cutting your taxes, putting money back into your pockets, and fighting for working families.

If the bridge helps transport transphobia then it deserves to be burnt to the ground.

If your party or organization does not permit criticism of itself or its leadership, that's a cult. Don't be a foot soldier for someone else's ego.

Just had meeting with kiddo's school. She has been fully supported, treated with full equality & dignity for years. All of that changes from September. Full segregation & humiliation across the board. The school staff cried in the meeting. This will absolutely lead to children's deaths 1/2

Gross. The local Nazi Party (Sverigedemokraterna) has been putting AI slop campaign stickers on shit around town and in the parks. They really should go practice curb stomping each other.

1/8 Our most recent episode of Demand Utopia: A Solarpunk Podcast just dropped. Part 4 of our series on Disaster Prep as Community Care is all about local resilience hubs and how to start one! #solarpunk #demandutopia #podcast #solarpunkmagazine #resilience

I think one of the reasons that you will find such a consistently high rate of rejection of AI among neurodivergent people compared to the general population is related to the frequency of broad autodidactism. Constantly refreshing special interests makes for a great bullshit detector.

Another reason why it is important to include all of the dirt and character assasination up front when teaching political theory.

the fact that a lot of people would rather complain that I used the word "leftish" to describe Platner than address the fact that racists and misogynists are a nonpartisan problem is a huge reason why we're here.

Gen AI content should be required to have a prominent warning label. Without exception. So the rest of us know ahead of time that we can safely ignore what follows.

Ice cold take, but anyone who still willingly affiliates with or backs anybody implicated in the Epstein files is not just okay with what happened. They probably participate or wish they could. Which includes pretty much every AI and Crypto guy along with 80%+ of Congress and most of SCOTUS.

This is what I mean when I say we need to imagine technology without the profit motive.

Annual reminder that Kink belongs at Pride. Cops and Corporations don't.

#Pride is about being seen. Pride is about guiding others. Be a lighthouse.

One of the more dangerous things about everyone reasonable leaving Twitter is that the nazi echo chamber has gotten so loud that public figures and politicians are over there openly calling for hate crimes and genocide like it is expected behavior.
