Looking for examples of leftist folks doing disaster preparedness (not just response, but the prework of preparedness) in their communities. Interested in talking to some folks about what that looks like and what it helps them to cultivate.

The tech bros want ai to get healthcare before women.

i work with lots of men crunching this shallow ideas and summarising things with generators and another freaky thing is how they behave too, they don't write or think, they "generate" ideas, text, images and internalise it, they behave like a shallow mass (slop) and they pretend no one realises

But that was only ever a one-way implication. High quality data in still gets us garbage out with LLMs used to synthesize text, because in doing so they make papier-mâché of their input. >>

God I love math

The latest X-men 97 episode is how you have a good partner now and take them to see your old buddies and they find out what you are really like.

People have been saying this about ai rollouts since forever and it never works out this way and becomes more labor.

America waits with baited breath to see what the drug addict who eats roadkill is going to do about the diarrhea lettuce.

I’m looking to speak with people who are resisting the erosion of human thought, creativity, skill, and relationship through AI. 🧵

I have never seen this many people struggle to come to terms with backing the wrong horse & I worked at an OTB on Staten Island from freshman year to graduation from college.

i have a suggestion of who should replace platner

Hell is other heavens.

Please consider not saying that some AI models or some statistical models are good, useful, beneficial, whatever else positive, in science if it's not your research area. It's ok not to know things. It's ok not to both side things. It's ok to ask colleagues who are experts.

Dude is running his own localized surveillance state, including functions that are essentially predictive policing and a gang database, except it’s for people who have said anything remotely critical of the organization, or anyone who associates with those critics.

“institutional conditions have encouraged, and rewarded, unethical behaviour long before the current AI hype cycle, but the normalization of AI usage and the ubiquitous false claims regarding AI capabilities seem to further obfuscate the boundaries of proper conduct” 32/🧵

Americans getting the last laugh

social media platforms that operate to maximize engagement, nazi ideology built on hate and rage, weak regulation and enforcement... democracy is dying before our eyes and big tech is fuel powering it www.irishtimes.com/world/europe...

Not a stunning revelation to many, but it occurred to me that a lot of white straight men have never been made to feel ashamed until they do something awful, and many of them choose to handle this badly.

Something I’m not sure about: would meta glasses be more acceptable if it didn’t have a camera or a microphone and was just a second screen for your phone?

Well, you can’t judge a book by its cover, but you do get a strong impression sometimes.

A lot of folks at XBOX are impacted by layoffs today, some of whom I know are majorly involved in accessible gaming. Hire them.

I genuinely believe that if we were destined to lose, why not do it wholeheartedly and at least make them work for it?

“The world is a wonderful interface to engage with,” said Rachel Plotnick, an expert in human-technology relationships at Indiana University and author of "Power Button." “Giving that up comes with a real loss.”

The “vibe shift” proclaimed Nov. 2024 - Jan. 2025 was just some elites—in business, media, law, and some higher ed admins—who kinda liked the fascism and gave themselves permission to accommodate it. That’s all it ever was. A close presidential election is not somehow a binding cultural referendum.

there really is a massive gulf in the public estimation of AI capabilities between people who use AI to make software and people who've only used it to make images or prose

Women’s use of AI is perceived as a sign of incompetence, while men’s use of AI is seen as an indication of initiative. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Apparently, Chicago got the fog that turns you inside out.

I have such an expertly curated algorithm that I'm seeing posts from Mexican street food restaurants in the US and this is how they're advertising the game tomorrow night. "Good vibes"
