Are you reluctant—and rightly so!—to use AI programming on a Mac? I found following: holtwick.de/en/blog/bx-s...

No more AI yolo on your Mac! 🛡️ AI tools like Claude Code can read, write and delete any file your user can access. bx-mac gives you a native macOS sandbox to restrict any command to just the folders it actually needs. github.com/holtwick/bx-mac #macOS #opensource #security #AI #Apple #mac #privacy

I mean the less funny thing to consider is that the reason Sora got discontinued so shortly after OpenAI signed a military contract is that those GPUs are gonna be busy

The article depicts DOGE as an experiment applying tech & gaming methods to governance. The result: a blurred line between public administration and digital siege. 🎮🏛️ #DOGE www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

Three years into the AI era, educators say they face a major crisis. Bosses and clients replacing tutoring jobs with AI. Replacing *athletic coaching* with AI. Many students now cannot grasp why they would *not* use AI for schoolwork. And worse. The 5th installment of AI Killed My Job—educators:

Cool AF: a design archive of design archives, ℅ creative director/artist David Sizemore. Get lost in space exploration logos, chrome lettering, comix, flyers, matchbox art, more! archiveofarchives.com#design #art #DesignArchives #archives

(2/2) What I did know was that it was to be guided by the overarching values of fuelling creativity, driving collaboration and igniting compassion. These values are even more important in the age of AI, a technology that has the same potential to liberate and cause harm #Web37

‘Alison Bashford’s story is, on the one hand, just about a bit of the human body and, on the other, about the changing, contested and consequential practices through which we have sought to know ourselves and others.’ Steven Shapin on a new survey of the hand. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

Christo & Jeanne-Claude, "Wall of Oil Barrels—The Iron Curtain" (1961–62), an installation of stacked oil barrels that completely blocked the historic rue Visconti, one of the narrowest streets in Paris, and slowed traffic through the city's Left Bank

Do you by any chance know about Gordon Matta-Clark's "Fake Estates" artworks? They were tiny, often inaccessible plots of land he purchased in the 1970s, publicly auctioned by the city of New York for a price ranging between $25 & $75 each. More info here: socks-studio.com/2014/10/22/g...

🦊 We cannot meaningfully separate everyday usage of “AI” from the machine of death and war. If you’re upset by the military-industrial complex? These tools feed it; they *are* it. ethanmarcotte.com/wrote/propel...

Against Claude’s advice, by the way

Morning call, time to wake up. We’re already at war.

These thermal images of dozens of unauthorised mobile gas turbines powering an X-AI data centre in Mississippi really triggered me — there's something about the aesthetics that feels like a death cult. floodlightnews.org/thermal-dron...

Great portrait

Pair of articles on slop developments on YouTube. Report from Kapwing about the most popular slop channels by country, and a finding of 33% of a new account's feed being brainrot (though it doesn't look like they replicated it). Bonus @eryk.bsky.social quote. www.kapwing.com/blog/ai-slop...

Just as interesting as the FCK-ICE tictoc propaganda in the spirit of Hanoi Hannah (propaganda broadcast on Vietnamese radio during the Vietnam War) is the British/German soldiers' radio station Calais during World War II. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dzxk...

Minneapolis is trying out new forms of resistance. They're doing pop-up blockade block parties. This one is on Cedar and 34th, a main route into the city. They have a stereo, food & a fire. MPD is present but not interfering. Lots of honks of support. ICE agents have been reported detouring around.

A Minneapolis knitting shop has resurrected the design of a Norwegian cap worn to protest Nazi occupation. Its owner says the money raised from hat pattern sales will support the local immigrant community. n.pr/4thWiUr

Folks are passing out whistles and zines. The DIY/analog aspect of American activism in this moment is as important as the videos of ICE abuses

www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4... „Whether the regime is ‘fascist’, ‘post-fascist’ or ‘neo-authoritarian’, what is indisputable is that it has unleashed what John Ganz has called a sense of ‘moral anarchy’, in which there are no longer any limits to the expression of sadism, (…).“

US-Regierungsaccounts posten White Nationalist und Neo-Nazi Content - seit Monaten. Einiges ist auch für Laien ersichtlich, andere Codes fallen weniger auf. Meine Analyse - mit Einordnungen u.a. von @bildoperationen.bsky.social und @mikesenters.bsky.social

We have to see the logic of the killings as well as the killings themselves. The horror is a truth in itself. But it is also a sign of a political logic, one known from the totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century. snyder.substack.com/p/lies-and-l...

This administration is cooked. Literally no one is scared of them.

People are definitely setting up a barricade of trash cans and this couch, in the middle of the street where ICE is. "That's my couch," said a woman standing nearby. "It's been on my porch for four years because it won't fit up the stairs. My neighbor will be pleased it's gone now."

Oh schaut mal, eine Karikatur von 1938!

Inspired by an anti-Nazi leaflet created by Cahun / Moore, i make a adaptation of their theme. Text versions are based on last stanza of Heine's poem “Die Loreley.” However, instead the siren song, it is hollow political rhetoric (→ slop) that could also cause a catastrophe in our time—potentially.

GenAI is not inconsequential, but exorbitant attention on its failures diverts attention away from all of the other—far more thoroughgoing—forms of AI that are being used to violate and impoverish citizens by means of data extraction and arbitration.
