Hundreds of people in San Francisco marched from tech company to tech company on Saturday, blasting OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google for barreling towards an AI future. They rallied under a giant "Stop the AI Race" banner. missionlocal.org/2026/07/san-...

It's almost as if the company's founding principle was pathological kleptomania

Democracy in India has been under intense attack for more than one and half decade. The best time for Indians (including those in the diaspora) to stand up to #HindutvaFascism was... anytime in the last decade. The next best time is NOW.

what they learned from minneapolis was not “don’t do this again” but “keep it quiet next time”

Losing Google Search is not the loss of a public good - it’s the loss of a rent seeking extractor that enclosed our information & sold the story that it was providing a public good. But rebooting real public goods Google ate will not be easy.

In case you missed it, here's Count Binface's appearance on the BBC this morning.

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social Assigned Media finds NYT ran 5 trans sports stories after recent SCOTUS ruling but none quoted trans ppl. This continues its run of being the most likely major outlet to run multiple trans pieces but least likely to quote trans ppl. Grow up, Sulzberger.

No one should believe a word of this. Transparent lies, over and over again

I had a wonderful chat with @bmitra.bsky.social about the promising potential of atproto for creating emancipatory information access systems - check out @jedi-workshop.bsky.social and arxiv.org/abs/2601.09600 So much valuable know-how that would be amazing to apply for search/IR on atproto ✨ >

incredible how time and time again the perfect alignment between the ai industry and far right ideology is revealed yet governments keep treating the technology as a force for public good

there's a level of academic freedom and institutional privilege that comes with being a PI but such privileges diminish when you're a black woman 🤷🏾‍♀️

this is the energy I’m bringing to the world today

This is the person who can’t find any scientific references to validate his opinions, so he used a large language model to hallucinate them. bsky.app/profile/some...

You mean *this* Microsoft?!?

Looked at the UN report on "AI" (written by a bunch of mostly computer scientists who to a large degree have close ties to big tech) and it's really bad. Just "AI" hype based on studies that are long shown to be garbage.

Another journalist asked for my thoughts on the impeding Labour leadership explosion. So I said this. #Burnham #Starmer #Makerfield

When the product design flaws are features, not bugs.

But the social status of professors in bourgeois society is such that only those are allowed to hold such posts who sell science to serve the interests of capital, and agree to utter the most fatuous nonsense, the most unscrupulous drivel and twaddle against the socialists.

I've been told that defunding death making institutions is sloganeering and unrealistic.

This summer is a good time to read and discuss books about organizing and resistance. Let This Radicalize You is presently 40% off if you purchase it through Haymarket.

It's true. ICE are still murdering and kidnapping people in broad daylight. FUCK ICE! ABOLISH AND PROSECUTE

🧵

The complete elimination of Meta would yield unambiguous, far reaching benefits for global society.

You know what to do. Let's make it happen. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Agree. We’ve been reporting lately on ICE ramping back up to 11, but the trump administration is trying to do it without Minnesota type headlines. The secret police are trying to be more… secret

to recap: if you make a labeler for being mean about ai, bluesky staff will subscribe to it and block 300k users bc why not if you make a list of ppl defending Platner so folks can know who is unsafe, that's unacceptable

ICE is engaged in a very large escalation nationwide, with the agency claiming to be hitting record arrest numbers amid the return of quotas. This has gotten very little attention from the media because ICE learned lessons from the chaotic disasters of Kristi Noem’s tenure. Keep a watch.

One of the things about modern transmisogyny is that it gave right-wing regimes an avenue through which they institutionally recuperate feminism while actively eroding the rights of women and queer people, openly trialing new anti-gay marriage arguments and reifying womanhood as reproductive.

Capitalism is a waste of human life and consciousness

Yes. I reject any framing of the Platner story as "progressive vs establishment" or "left vs center." The opposition to him has always been "he's obviously an unrepentant liar and a bad human being." His claimed policy positions were irrelevant, and he had no track record of believing them anyway.

right on cue "The company has partnered with Alberta-based Pembina Pipeline... The project will require approximately 150 million cubic feet per day of natural gas, according to Pembina, helping to create demand for Western Canadian natural gas producers." www.ctvnews.ca/business/art...

Hey there's a new laundry detergent going around! It's called philosophy washing. You might recognize it by the distinct smell of AI companies hiring philosophers as an extension of their PR machine rather than for their genuine critical thinking.

In the future everyone will be mistaken for a criminal for fifteen minutes

absolutely insane story, and yeah, just looking at this chart... with the exception of maybe two people, this entire class was cheating like motherfuckers

To the extent there was ever any truth to it, it’s in the way a certain type of lib lionized George Bush and John McCain for their “decency” while ignoring their warmongering and racism. But warmongering and racism are also bad behavior. That’s the real problem.

One reason people don't trust AI is that it's being pushed on us by obviously evil people doing obviously evil things at their obviously evil companies

Canadians "struggle to access care" because the healthcare system is underfunded and understaffed. Switching to a partially-privatized system isn't going to magically create more doctors and nurses, and in fact the steps in that direction thus far have made the problem much worse.

I’m tired of these games from Carney that stretch the imagination of what’s “democratic” so he can implement an aggressively pro-corporate agenda without pushback. Could this also be the start of him stacking the senate with people who won’t disrupt his agenda (aka conservatives)? Ugh.

everywhere you look, things are goin' great

If you're Muslim +5 is actually -50 in the MSM. Please get with the program.

Every global "Tech4Good" event, every meeting about digital "souvereignity", every summit about innovation has EA folks there poisoning the conversation with their eugenicist, corporatist, colonialist drivel. And politics is eating it up.

as genai proliferates, it has become difficult to avoid it. at @aial.ie, we're compiling a list of genai-free tools, libraries & websites to support research across tasks;grammar/spell check, coding/code review, data analysis (esp large scale text classification) & graphing/data visualisation recs?

Google robot car drives passengers to the police without their consent. Don't worry, I'm sure Google would never bend to an authoritarian leader and drive dissidents or immigrants to waiting fascists.

Sent these to my therapist at 9 am. I’m totally normal, why do you ask??

Le Guin on the idea that there is a secret to getting good at writing.

Increasingly feels like the fluid nature of software is more a hellish trap than a feature Like having people break into your house every night to rearrange your furniture, reprogram the tv, and swap out family pictures for stock photos and ads

Tech companies like Google, Facebook and Microsoft are ignoring data controls mandated under California law, researchers say.
