Quite possible that people watching from Canada will once again be in geo-blocking limbo.

I mean, what could possibly go wrong.

The AI bubble may be about to bust. Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock. We all need to say this very clearly: NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH! Expropriate their asses instead. They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet. They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

Yep. Disconnect the grounding from how people learn & search online (and offline, by threatening teachers & shutting down libraries) … then make truth be whatever you want.

I have to admit, I've been discussing risks and harm of AI for a while, but did not have this on the radar. Quite the dead spot.

It’s patently false, but notice that “humans won’t be needed” to these people is identified as the desired future rather than the deeply dystopian vision that it actually is.

A useful list!

I’ve come to terms with the fact that rambling is part of podcasts. But I draw the line at eating while rambling on podcasts. Please don’t.

watch the whole interivew

I remember reading the Swiss guidelines bracing for bad stuff and being pleasantly surprised when it turned out to be pretty sensible.

🤦

Existential question: are orange the colour and orange the fruit the same word in every language? And if not, then is it carrot?

“WTF! The Rise of the Tech Broligarchy”—I encourage everyone to watch the first in this series + tune into to the 2nd ep. tonite, analysis + action, hosted by @mediajustice.bsky.social👈🏾https://youtu.be/K7RxYRMM2bg?feature=shared

Highly recommended read!

Anyone else worried about how Canadians are willing to erode citizenship rights for a gotcha moment with Musk?

So many good points in this, well worth a listen. Here is a podcast link btw if you don't want youtube ads on.soundcloud.com/MZpguPMQ5Zva...

The Canadian establishment that lost its mind over a protest passing by Mount Sinai hospital has been entirely quiet over a Canadian company selling Nazi T-Shirts for the English world's most famous, out Nazi. I wrote about this and asked the question: why? noraloreto.substack.com/p/instrument...

Another example of every accusation being an admission. When they accuse people of cheating and stealing and grifting, it’s because that is what they are doing. www.wired.com/story/faa-do...

Tune in to “The Corporate Coup in Global Context: An Emergency Town Hall” with Naomi Klein, Astra Taylor, Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor and Chenjerai Kumanyika. www.youtube.com/live/iyLiNN_...

It is scary, but not that surprising, how ready white women are to do fascism's bidding.

We are so ready for this!

Far too many of you fail to understand you can resist fascism without demanding a deepening loyalty to the nation-state...especially since extreme nationalism is literally one of the hallmarks of fascism. Indigenous Ppls are not the enemy, and we are not going to be forced to reify our colonizers.

almost looks like everyone watches women’s sports

Surprise, surprise.

Awesome. I just wish more players of this team would speak out.

Fraud detection measures have always been austerity measures, no matter what the technology. AI is no different in that regard.

READ THIS ASAP: “If we continue to be gripped with outrage and stilled by stupefaction by each day’s new proclamation, we will fail to discern what links them. To be gripped by his statements is precisely the aim of their utterance.” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Funny how a little bit of complicity doesn’t save your ass … as we’ve been saying because Germany already ran this experiment

Now more than ever.

The corporate coup is global. Trump's mad tariffs do not mark the end of neoliberalism or free trade or whatever you want to call it. They mark the end game of what we have been fighting for decades: corporate rule. They do not believe in the public. They believe in their wealth.

Funny how all of the sudden BDS is an acceptable strategy.

One more reason to delete your Shop app.

Honest question: are mainstream media folks really oblivious to the fact that what they’re doing is laying out a red carpet to fascism? Or are they just doing it anyway?

Friends, for something to be open source, we need to see 1. The data it was trained & evaluated on 2. The code 3. Model architecture 4. Model weights. DeepSeek only gives 3, 4. And I'll see the day that anyone gives us #1 without being forced to do so, because all of them are stealing data.

As someone who has reported on AI for 7 years and covered China tech as well, I think the biggest lesson to be drawn from DeepSeek is the huge cracks it illustrates with the current dominant paradigm of AI development. A long thread. 1/

Scottish PEN joins UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese in expressing grave concern regarding the arrest of journalist Ali Abunimah in Switzerland and the climate surrounding freedom of speech around Europe. electronicintifada.net/content/eis-...

UN human rights experts have condemned the arrest of prominent Palestinian journalist Ali Abunimah in Switzerland, saying it raised concerns about freedom of speech.

Sometimes I am like a Ricola commercial. Listening to Filterworld by @chaykak.bsky.social, and I am really enjoying it. And then we get to the passage about "the German manufacturer USM". youtu.be/nSSBhrxnTgo?...

This Ursula Franklin quote is from 1989. www.cbc.ca/radio/ideas/...

Free Ali Abunimah, sign this petition. Europe is totally losing the plot chng.it/kHDcty6WWB

Wear a Keffiyeh and half of Canadian columnists will call you Hamas Throw literal Nazi salutes and you’re an “anti immigration protester”

The new Switzerland isn’t neutral, it seems, and even picked the side of genocide: letting Herzog attend Davos, despite incitement to genocide charges against him, and arresting Ali Abunimah. For shame.
