Necesitamos imaginar que un futuro dominado por IA generativas no es inevitable. Imaginar futuros sin tecnofacismos, sin la amenaza inminente del colapso societal. @drsarahabel.bsky.social en la segunda entrega sobre #tecnopolítica e #InteligenciaArtificial. revistacomun.com/blog/tecnopo...

Hoy día no se puede hablar de la IA sin hablar de tecnopolítica. Digo “hoy día”, aunque en realidad el concepto de #inteligenciaartificial ha sido político desde sus inicios. En #Perspectivas, @drsarahabel.bsky.social en su primera entrega sobre #tecnopolítica. revistacomun.com/blog/tecnopo...

This was really wild because writing this article (which explained how female lions are in charge of the pride) really revealed to me how common it is for men to make male lions their entire personality and definition of manhood. I was dogpiled, brigaded, and attacked for WEEKS.

🆕🚨 New statutory Relationships and Sex Education guidance published today will: - Restrict schools from using materials that "encourage pupils to question their gender" - Teaches children the laws about "biological sex" - Removes all references to the word transgender What we know so far 🧵

A great new series by @datasociety.bsky.social and @techpolicypress.bsky.social cutting through the bullshit of #AI hype and its implications for #democracy and #governance in the #US

In light of this deeply illegal activity at NSF and the ongoing attack on American science, I'm posting the slides from my 2017 talk at the American Physical Society about the Nazi take over of German physics/why German is no longer science's lingua franca 🧪 🧵 1/26 drive.google.com/file/d/1_MCm...

"CBP swabbed the cheeks of between 829,000 and 2.8 million people...that number includes as many as 133,539 children and teenagers. These figures mark a sweeping expansion of biometric surveillance—one that explicitly targets migrant populations, including children." www.wired.com/story/cbp-dn...

NEW: The US government has collected DNA samples from 133,000+ migrant children and teenagers and uploaded them into CODIS, a national criminal database originally built for convicted sex offenders and violent criminals, according to documents reviewed by WIRED.

“It is as if suddenly no one were able to account for all the inhabitants of Arizona — only to learn they had been shipped off to #ElSalvador ’s Terrorism Confinement Center, or #CECOT in Spanish.” 😦 @theintercept.com theintercept.com/2025/04/22/t...

Flattering nod to “Because of You” here from @milenaivanova.bsky.social — may not sound like praise but definitely is, in context: “The value derived from BECAUSE OF YOU is possible because of the moral flaws of the ingredients it is constructed with.“ link.springer.com/article/10.1...

It has been a year. And quite a year! The piece continues to be controversial, relevant and educational, and we’re looking for an in-person home for it! 👀

“By rooting misogyny in women’s ‘shared biology’, rather than our shared oppression under #patriarchy, the #SupremeCourt relies on incredibly conservative ideas about gender as a naturalised phenomenon”

Come from the important and damning reporting. Stay for the revelation that Palantir management refers to their workers as hobbits.

Where we have lost hope in institutions, hype declares that AI can do the work of those institutions based on their data. But while AI tools can complete tasks and follow orders, they cannot replace collective decision-making — and must not be allowed to do so, writes Eryk Salvaggio.

at this stage, there's a robust body of work exposing the unreliability and limitations of llms but what will it take for governments, businesses, and other large institutions to rid critical social infrastructure off llms

Sandra Harding (1935–2025) questioned whose perspectives shape Western science & STS. She pushed for Global South voices, co-founding Tapuya in 2016. Her vision & tenacity live on—she will be deeply missed.

@carolecadwalla.bsky.social nails it, what’s happening in the US isn’t just politics as usual, it’s a full-blown shift toward #Broligarchy. Now @theguardian.com’s ditching experienced journalists like her and jumping in bed with #OpenAI? Support independent journalism if you can. #USPol #Politics

Google has removed its Responsible AI Principles. This is actually a pretty big deal.

With Google removing their Responsible AI Principles, they no longer state that they will *not* engage in "Technologies whose purpose contravenes widely accepted principles of international law and human rights". Concerns about surveillance and injury are also erased. ai.google/responsibili...

So it doesn’t matter if you're a company in the US, China, or elsewhere. DeepSeek should be a cue to pivot HARD toward investing in far more efficient methods of AI development. Even if you care nothing about community & climate impacts, it’s just better business. 19/

The “Gulf of America” gambit sounds petty. But since a lot of Mexico’s oil reserves are there this could be a bid to expropriate a neighbouring country’s natural resources. In which case, things are likely to get ugly…

🧪 Yet another awful AI image in science reporting, used presumably because it's free. @phys.org.web.brid.gy & @sciencex.bsky.social editorial standards focus on factual, credible, reputable sources & checking.
