"Empathy is the antidote to the cold, computational processing of life. To dismantle empathy because it is flawed is to suggest we should stop breathing because the air is sometimes polluted."

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Beware the empathy exploit.

Empathy is good and right when thought through (deep), but can be deadly to civilization when simply stimulus-response (shallow).

For example, releasing a repeat violent offender may feel good at first (shallow empathy for the criminal), but it is wrong to do so when that person will go on to hurt or murder innocent victims, as there should be deep empathy for future victims.

World Cup fever kicks off as America welcomes the world with a traditional display of their culture and traditions.

So let me get this straight:

When immigrants take jobs, it’s a national crisis.

When AI takes jobs, it’s innovation.

Can someone explain why we’re supposed to fear people willing to work, but celebrate technology designed to replace workers?

If genocide and pedophilia aren't your red lines, then none of your other opinions really matter.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

I am more than familiar with Palestine history during the British occupation -its crimes and legacy - and yet. Watching #Palestine36 was a gut-wrenching experience.

Gentle as it can be, Palestinian storytelling cannot hide the horror of the crimes Palestinians have endured.

I'm finally reading Dune. This quote, which is in the first few pages, hits hard:

"Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them."

[Novara Media @novaramedia]

“They’re looking to bring media organisations down.”

Peter Thiel, the billionaire co-founder of genocide-linked software company Palantir, is funding a new startup that allows rich customers to file complaints against journalists using AI.

Objection’s own co-founder Aron D’Souza predicts that journalists won’t exist in 20 years’ time.

“This all comes at a time when journalism is under threat like it’s never been under threat before,” says @MaloneBarry on Novara Live. “It’s a really scary time.”

🚨 Israeli “AI expert” Maya Ackerman admits that Israel can “move AI chatbots into alignment” so that the output doesn’t “honestly represent data” but rather shows us “exactly what they want us to see”.

This comes as Israel has invested $6M to make ChatGPT more pro-Israel. 👀

Lynching mobs.
Pogroms.
Genocidal acts.
Racism.
Suprematism.
Absolute impunity.

The failure of the post-WWII system in a nutshell.

Just in case you weren’t aware, the so called “patriots” are now calling Henry Nowak’s sister a “mud shark race traitor” because she has a mixed race child.

The “protests” in Southampton aren’t about his death.

They’re about rabid racism and male violence.

No country should be allowed to host the World Cup while imposing discriminatory rules on qualified and participating teams.

This ought to be a very basic requirement.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

Conflating Antisemitism with criticism of the Israeli government is dangerous.

The Board of Deputies keep muddying the waters.

This isn’t about him being Jewish - it’s about his position as Vice-Chair of Labour Friends of Israel.
