The world needs to understand that Congo is going through a silent genocide, Millions have been killed, millions have been displaced and millions are starving. People now live in tents in open field camps meanwhile some are now living in bushes and thick forest.

This piece, which seems desperate to downplay Labour’s by-election successes, uses only Conservative source quotes at any point

Research shows broadcasters like the BBC are skewing the public's understanding of what is happening in Gaza – and the fact a 'textbook case of genocide' is unfolding – to prevent popular and political pressure building to stop the killing: https://t.co/fWd9CBJbZp

Also notice the goal posts always change: first, the 'illegality' of boat crossings was the issue. Then it was 'bogus asylum seekers'. Now it's people born here, but who have 'foreign-born' mothers. This is why you NEVER give an inch: it's only a pretence for them to take a mile.

“The vfx look like that because it’s from The Flash’s POV”

“We used A.I. for the Secret Invasion titles because it fits the theme”

Both easier to say than “it’s ok if things look like shit when you can mistreat artistic labour or eliminate it entirely to save money”

@AaronBastani @timnitGebru At the end of the day investors want profits, and an AI hype cycle is useful for that. What can it offer the average person in the next few years? Threats of job insecurity for many workers, and worse conditions. Perhaps lower quality customer service?

[Alex Baker @bakesmyth]

@AaronBastani @timnitGebru Would have like to seen more critique of the industry as a whole. Ian focuses on a few issues of how individuals can abuse AI, whilst there was no discussion of the much greater threat and actual harm caused by AI from companies.

[@timnitGebru (@dair-community.social/bsky.social) @timnitGebru]

"he warns that AI poses a massive threat through "accidental misuse." There is a surrealness to his candor — like if an oil executive had been first to spell out the dangers of climate change"

Umm, more like an oil exec talking about aliens to drown out noise of climate change

@timnitGebru Right now if a human listens to a song, and reuses a piece of it, damages can be sought in the legal system. Now take that principle and apply it to effectively infinite songs (and mediums), we definitely have the infrastructure to deal with that.

I’ve never encountered a more perfect example of how screwed up our conversation about land access & responsibility is, & how leniently we view environmental crime by landowners, than this scene I encountered on the River Roding today

Gorgeous day for a nurses’ strike outside Great Ormond St Hospital. So grateful for their unmatched care & skill. Now let’s get them the fucking pay rise they deserve & that the nation can *easily* afford. Austerity is a choice so change your mind or get in the bin!✊🏼❤️@theRCN

Landlord turns away Rail Workers from his pub, don’t want you lot in.

Rail Workers boycott his pub. Fine we won’t come in.

Landlord this is bullying, why won’t they respect my right to choose.

Some people are very dim.

I hear the Policy Exchange will publish a report attacking the Trojan Horse Affair. Times of London will write about it.

The Times where Michael Gove worked; Policy Exchange the think-tank Gove setup; where Trojan Horse investigator, Clarke, is a fellow...

Will call me biased.

I feel very sorry for the people in the UK. You have no idea how expensive it's going to get for you when the NHS is finally gutted. I wish they would rise up and save it but too many believe the lie that they're government is revenue constrained.
