People in palestine are bracing for greater crackdown as Israel punishes them for statehood recognition by UK, Canada, & Australia. As I, and many others, have pointed out - these proclamations of recognition do nothing to stop the violence.

We also had the pleasure of speaking to the @newamerica.org team recently on a different topic area, unpacking how to map private militia networks online. Listen back on podcast platforms now: rss.com/podcasts/bel...

Legislation is still catching up with the companies profiting off the generation of this fake and highly sexualised imagery. Social platforms are also beginning to raise alarms. You can read @koltai.bsky.social 's latest research on Meta's legal battle here: www.bellingcat.com/news/america...

Our researcher @koltai.bsky.social has been investigating sites advertising non-consensual AI porn for some time. She recently spoke to @newamerica.org about her work for their recent report on the use of this imagery as a threat against women in politics.

This is horrific and feels like it should be a bigger deal. Business Insider reports that people who have worked at xAI have seen Grok create images and written material with child sex abuse material. www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-gr...

Maybe don't use AI slop imagery to lead a story on AI workslop? hbr.org/2025/09/ai-g...

This is very cool!

I think it’s because it comes primarily from two streams. A: places that could afford to pay but just don’t, i.e. The Conversation. B: places like academic journals that are so paywalled and inaccessible nobody will ever read it.

I wonder sometimes why I hate places or people who ask you to write for free so strongly. It’s not like the money I get elsewhere is truly fair; I have a day job and the whole point of that day job is paying my bills. And yet, I do detest every form of “please write for us for no pay.” Why?

🇵🇸 VIDEO: Gaza City residents divided as Western powers recognise State of Palestine Residents of Gaza City, the target of a major Israeli offensive, offer mixed opinions after a fresh slate of Western nations recognised the State of Palestine.

Canada, like all settler colonial projects, is very careful about who it "recognizes" and who it doesn't. Always read the fine print, the conditions mean everything. Remember, this is the country that still has an "Indian Act" which demonstrates how this process works in practice.

I'm Sakher, from Gaza Today I managed to get online after days without internet. I don’t know when I’ll be able to post again The lack of internet isn’t just inconvenient it silences us. It stops us from sharing our pain and asking for help Gaza is collapsing. Homes are destroyed gofund.me/f116bf44

"Palantir’s Integrator Training teaches system administrators and developers how to install, configure and administer the Palantir system" Apparently ask "Darren Keegan" about it 🤷🏻 bsky.app/profile/jeff...

"Palantir engineers acted as consultants... and were incentivized to find new use cases 'that the client hasn’t thought of yet' that would make Palantir products more integral to the client’s work. 'Palantir’s whole business model is about upselling. That’s the only way that they grow,'"

LinkedIn has updated its TOS (they will use our proofiles to train LLMs) and I have deleted everything there except my account (in case somebody tries to impersonate me). I'm tired on the contemporary Internet

Canada’s recognition of a State of Palestine matters, but it is not itself an action that meets our international obligations to end Israel’s genocide in Gaza, break the siege on Gaza, and impose a two-way arms embargo and sanctions against Israel. We take to the streets still. Join us.

This is not an error...this is the point of these systems; one of the many reasons why academic institutions should be calling them out and not uncritically adopting them.

No but seriously where are the hundreds people that disappeared from the monstrosity of the so called “Alligator Alcatraz”? Why aren’t people talking about it? I can find very little and it’s from weeks ago! Are we at the disappearing phase of this horror?! www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

“A successful and healthy response to COVID would have seen our public toolkit expand over the last five years. Most critically, we would’ve seen a comprehensive plan for upgrading indoor air quality in all public buildings.”

Another example of the same phenomenon; they are killing people so they can make videos of them killing people. There is not actually any policy that Venezuela or Colombia can enact to satisfy them, because the purpose is just content creation. Podcasters with the power of the Federal government.

"Ana and the other recruits were trained to produce social media posts using ChatGPT. Content "attracts people if the picture contains some satire… over reality", they were told, but that too much AI should be avoided to ensure posts felt "organic"."

Wow, so academia.edu has become ecen scammier than it used to be and is ACTIVELY PROMOTING "AI" "reviews" of papers, so I'm gonna go pull all my stuff off of there.

Good news to wake up to this morning.

I think a lot about how Trump is the human iteration of a disinformation ecosystem. He's like all the worst parts of the internet but with a pulse.

They’ve been building up to a point where “ a Black woman made me uncomfortable by being right” is a fireable offense And folks still want to play simple And then discounts moments before . This should make you question EVERYTHING WAPO has done with race But it won’t and it’s why we here
