I saw a post on Reddit that said that “The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.” And I don’t think I’ve ever seen AI described so incisively.
The United States is on the brink of starting a war with a country who never attacked us because a mass murdering ethno state who runs blackmail rings and controls US politicians wants all its neighbors killed.
"You hate AI because it's going to replace you" Actually, I hate genAI because it is built off of stolen data, it breaks copyright laws, it's poisoning the planet & black communities. It's raising our electricity bills. It's spreading misinformation & making people fucking stupid
Unilever / Magnum stopped Ben & Jerry’s from creating a flavor for Palestine — so I’m doing it
myself.
I’ve got a watermelon, an empty pint, and I need your help:
Name the flavor or suggest ingredients
Or design the pint packaging

Use your voice when Ben & Jerry’s can’t — to secure peace, justice, and dignity in Palestine

Saw someone say, “Stop hoarding books, we don’t need paper books anyway” and I can’t express how misguided this is. Online libraries disappear, digital books can be altered, and with Big Tech seeking to destroy history and literacy, print media has never been more essential.
BREAKING: Italian Unions and protesters kept their promises to block EVERYTHING if any harm was made to the Global Sumud Flotilla.
Naples, Italy, was the first to block the train station and now protests have also started in Rome.
We are literally witnessing a live-streamed mass kidnapping of 497 PEOPLE from 46 COUNTRIES by Israel in international waters
I feel like I’m losing my mind! The world has gone mad
World leaders - Israel is abducting YOUR OWN citizens right now! WHERE THE F*** ARE YOU?!
@10ryno@DLPReport It's too far. Even if the shuttle bus ran until the reception of the Ranch, you would still have a long walk ahead of you to reach your cabin. Especially if your cabin is located in one of the furthest trails, it could take 30+ minutes.
If you can't access the internet without needing to verify your age, you do not live in a free country.
I can't believe this even needs to be said.
Censorship of information is the mandate of totalitarian regimes across history.
A key point in Fahrenheit 451 is that books were banned because they made people depressed and uncomfortable. The novel's protagonist, Montag, is taken into custody after he reads a poem that makes a woman cry because she realizes the emptiness of her life.
BREAKING: MIT just completed the first brain scan study of ChatGPT users & the results are terrifying.
Turns out, AI isn't making us more productive. It's making us cognitively bankrupt.
Here's what 4 months of data revealed:
(hint: we've been measuring productivity all wrong)
Reporter: How did the Israelis treat you, we saw them giving sandwiches?
@GretaThunberg: They probably have posted lots of PR stunts, they did an illegal act by kidnapping us in international waters but that’s not the real story here. The real story is the genocide in Gaza and systematic starvation
Reporter: Are you worried about the others?
Greta: Yes…I’m calling for everyone who can to mobilize to demand their immediate release and, of course, to demand not only humanitarian aid being let into Gaza but also a ceasefire and most importantly an end to the occupation, an end to the systemic oppression and violence that Palestinians are facing on an everyday basis
just want to say this now bc in a few months a bunch of "leftists" will watch the harry potter show to critique it and "so you dont have to!" and i just want to say now, upfront, straight up there is no acceptable context to watch AND/OR talk about it it period.
