Your critique of AI is actually a critique of a lazy education system. Your critique of AI is actually a critique of surveillance. Your critique of AI is actually a critique of the carbon economy. Your critique of AI is actually a critique of capitalism. Move further left.

The headline doesn’t fit the argument. Jeff Bezos’ PR team make an insightful argument: military contracts are very lucrative. But for some reason they added “to help America” as a headline

How incredibly predictable that Bondi and Noem made absolute bafoons of themselves on behalf of Trump, only to learn that there’s no amount of cruelty toward others that could buy them safety in a room full of misogynists.

THIS. The problem with the left wing critique of AI is that it's not far enough to the left.

Robert Mueller has died. During the first Trump administration, the Mueller investigation represented the centrist fantasy that the so-called Justice Department could halt the slide into fascism. In fact, the anticipated reckoning, dubbed "Mueller Time," never arrived. It really is up to us. 🧵⬇️

This is stupid. The whole point is you can get these machines to say basically whatever you want. Pretending that it's profound that it "agrees with" you suggests you don't know what you're doing.

I put together a guide for people doing mutual aid work who want to gather the people they care about, deepen their shared commitment, and raise money for the work that matters most. It walks you through hosting a dinner that builds community and lets the money follow.

This is from Rubio's MSC speech. It's such a *ridiculous* frame. That American capitalists were the victims of neoliberal globalization vs. the perpetrators and beneficiaries. Fascists' alternating assertions of weakness and strength give you whiplash.

All grocery delivery apps in New York City (including Instacart) must now pay workers at least $21.44/hr. That number does not include tips. Companies must also provide workers with annual increases adjusted for inflation.

Carney's speech is another example of how Canadian strength is invisible to American sensibilities. That entire speech is a call to arms, anchored in resolve and defiance, backed by /every/ form of power we command, and entirely devoid of the histrionics required to be noticed in American discourse.
