Season ender ba yun ng Heated Rivalry? What a moving moment. Not so much for the romance angle for me, but that the narrative hand (or fan fiction haha) so earnest in delivering a kind of well-deserved justice, and move the lead characters along

I started off a bit wary about how far the critique tries to go. But more and more, it feels very astute. I almost wish it doesn't feel right the way that it does.

Tuwang tuwa na naman ang mga VC fantasizers ng sarili nilang private state. Gusto ng corporate welfare, govt contracts & bailout, pero gusto above sjla ng regulations

I find the idea that you need to know “how to use” AI tools really funny, as if it isn’t incredibly easy to type in prompts and the marketing these tools is that literally anyone can do it

"If you can drive or afford a car, you may not understand what it’s like to rely on walking, rolling, transit and asking for rides. But for more than a third of people living in the United States – people with disabilities, young people, seniors... this is our every day. youtu.be/5fcBpdyrS0c?...

I know we still on the Heated Rivalry bandwagon, but honestly, dont we all miss a good story? The leads are hot, the scenes are soft porn hot, but the story and the storytelling is just mid fanfiction type, let's be honest

This month, OpenAI announced "up to $2 million" in funding for research on AI safety and well-being. This may seem generous, write J. Nathan Matias and Avriel Epps, but following in the footsteps of other tech giants facing scrutiny over mental health impacts, it's nothing more than grantwashing.

amazing companion reads to each other! capitalism (back during start of Industrial revolution, textile revolution etc) harming people in England and everywhere else! The analog to contemporary times, astounding

This was the year that AI-generated images and videos became, sometimes, indistinguishable from real ones. But as @chaykak.bsky.social writes, “if 2025 marked the mainstreaming of slop, it also ushered in an accompanying slop backlash.” www.newyorker.com/culture/infi...

As fan of LOTR, huhu, correct.

NSF is about to dismantle NCAR at Russell Vought's direction to protect the fossil fuel industry. It's hard to communicate just how much NCAR does, so let's take a look: I've never worked at NCAR, and I've worked with NCAR researchers once ever. What scientific discoveries has NCAR made possible? 👇

When the AI boom began, copywriters were singled out as one of the jobs most vulnerable to AI. Now, three years later, I wanted to hear from workers on the frontlines of the industry, to hear what had actually taken place on the ground. For many, it was even worse than they'd feared.

Again I say: how fucking interesting that remote work technology is bad and not worth adopting despite all research pointing to productivity gains, but genAI which offers NOTHING is so important to adopt and force on people who have no use for it despite all the horrible things genAI does

Such a blessing to have folks in my life who will appreciate these books, and such great books to give them. Thanks @hannahritchie.bsky.social @thewaroncars.bsky.social @drkatemarvel.bsky.social and local bookshop @bookmoon.bsky.social

In applying AI to material science, biology, etc, capitalism is trying to shed science. The point is to substitute the engineering of a machine that can generate what science has hitherto done, but without having people know things. Knowledge ultimately residing in private property is the dream.

For one, because transportation is tourism, and tourism is transportation. And transport options here are dismal, and convenient only for cars. Which causes traffic, then supposed convenience evaporates youtu.be/Lr2vOfmfb1c?...

The world is full of drivers who pass you so they can wait at the traffic light directly in front of you instead of directly behind you.

When this "AI" bubble pops, the men pretending they weren't pushing the hype, like "critics" whose position is "AGI is real but LLMs aren't the way," who were in eugenicist and "AI existential risk"🙄 circles, will get specials discussing what they saw coming, when its the women who told you so.

One of the lessons the Luddites learned the hard way, and the critical AI movement could avoid relearning, is that when it comes to the harmful social impacts of tech the state is NOT a neutral arbiter between private capital and the common people. 💻🔨 Recommended text 👇'Writings of the Luddites'

Reimagining of thought as work. Taena gandang framing "In the history of science and tech, there has been a consensus that AI is not a culmination of IT and digital tech, it's actually the culmination a managerial project that is trying to make knowledge and skill accessible to managerial control."

Why is AI likely to make the disinformation situation immeasurably worse? Not just because of its worryingly realistic deep fakes. It’s because it has no conception of reality. It’s just as good as making false things - of which there are an infinity - as truths - of which there is only one.

Now we got Bernie Sanders speculating about robot armies(????) in his latest video because of this guy I kid you not

Dear New Yorker, NYT, CNN, WaPo, &c: stop interviewing Sam Altman & Geoffrey Hinton, & start interviewing Timnit Gebru, Meredith Whittaker, Emily Bender, Chris Gilliard, Rua Williams, Ruha Benjamin, Margaret Mitchell, Abeba Birhane, Alex Hanna, Kendra Albert, Jonathan Flowers, Robin Zebrowski, Damie

I dunno what to feel about Bernie boosting some of the talking points of AI Doomerism hype. Kasalanan to ng associating with Hinton eh "future superintelligent AI replacing humans in controlling the planet." Terminator talaga, sen Bernie? 🤔 youtu.be/K3qS345gAWI?...
