Haitian director Raoul Peck uses Orwell's 1984 to make a biographical film that serves as a warning about the dangers of totalitarianism today. His new film “2+2 = 5” explores how fragile democracies can be in the face of “alternative facts,” mass surveillance, and media monopolies. #FilmSky 🇭🇹🎬

The reason I've become such a @standard.site stan is because it's forming into the first real multi-service parallel ecosystem on atproto that can survive on it's own without the need of the @bsky.app lexicons and infra

Rather than ascribing agency to machines that are built by other humans getting rich off of doing that, we should ascribe the agency to those humans and talk about what they're doing via their companies: stealing data, killing the environment, exploiting labor, and deceiving the public.

I'm gonna repeat my comment. Talking about nonexistent "super intelligent" machines is like talking about the Cookie Monster rather than corporations creating real things causing harm. A non existent machine god bringing apocalypse or utopia is a framing that is harmful. Period.

Oh, my goodness, this is a huge breakthrough in cancer research. This is another example of why it is crucially important to fund basic scientific research. Scientists Discover How To “Switch Off” Cancer Genes for Good share.google/WFhMJP5m3AK4...

Not having to worry about AI slop in our devices because we can't afford the devices anyway

This is an insane story start to finish. $65k a year "AI school" heavily surveils students, generates nonsensical questions that "does more harm than good," scrapes from competitors. Stores hours of video of children insecurely. Lots more: www.404media.co/students-are...

He had a joke in his stump speeches about how, if he were to walk on water, the headlines the next day would read “Jesse Jackson Can’t Swim”

happy fake summer everybody

oh

As I get ready to watch the NBA slam dunk competition, I still maintain that the 2016 slam dunk competition was the greatest display of athleticism that I have ever seen. How is this real?

This is just delightful 😊 Happy Valentine's Day! 💕

Excellent read! Reminds me of the hoopla in Targeted Ad circles around FB opening up access to its pixel (tracker) back in 2013. Learning how it worked and then seeing it spread to every corner of the web legit had me going dark on social media for a while. In 2016, Cambridge Analytica happened

Facebook plans to put facial recognition in its glasses and they think we’re too stupid to fight back. Their internal memo: “We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns.”

Fabulous, fabulous story here. Watch the video embedded to hear some of the the songs. www.wbur.org/news/2026/02...

Mrs. Anna Murray Douglass decided she didn't want the father of her future children to be enslaved. She single-handedly raised the funds that paid for his train ticket to freedom when he assumed the disguise of a free sailor wearing clothes she gave him. She changed history. #BHM #BlackSky 1/…

💯💯 We'd get to the "heads on pikes" stage long before we got to their "most white collar workers losing their jobs" fantasies. Besides, how would AI companies themselves survive after cannibalizing their target market? Who'd pay for their services?

"The proposal for a post-human future is one where there will be human beings who will just be treated inhumanely. We're not gonna stop making people or humans. They're just saying: "we're not gonna treat you as humans." And I refuse" ~ @tressiemcphd.bsky.social

The elephant in the room that will ultimately mediate all these contradictions in AI is law/politics. Silicon Valley is engaging in state capture in part to create a backstop for the shaky economics of AI and public resistance to its adoption.

And when all those millions of people are laid off they won't be buying the products/services of the companies that replaced them with AI.

Very cool. An open source Climate Risk tool 👇🏾

THE marquee event of the Summer Olympics is the 100m sprint. We get to crown the fastest man/woman on earth! What's a Winter Olympics equivalent? The must-not-miss event I should clear my calendar for? (figure skating is already penciled in)

So messy, lol!

The most powerful car in F1 history was the Benetton B186 from 1986. It managed to squeeze out 1400-1700 horsepower from its 1.5L BMW Inline-4 engine. That was mounted to a 548 kg chassis, giving it 2-2.5x the power-to-weight ratio of a 2025 F1 car.

“It has been an absolutely unbelievable, unforgettable, life-changing experience all-around,” Guerrero said Sunday night. “To be part of it, honestly, is one of the greatest joys in my life and something that will stay with me forever.”
