RIP Marjane Satrapi, the great cartoonist and film director, best known for PERSEPOLIS. She was only 56. A great talent. She will be missed.

[Dennis M. Hogan @dennismhogan]

I think a giant imperial military blob with an unwieldy and overfunded warfare state making catastrophic tactical decisions by misusing expensive equipment in unsuitable conditions is among the most believable things in that entire movie

Israel yesterday kidnapped four women. Two are footballers in the Palestinian National Team.

Their names are: Natali Abu Dia and Rand Halwani.

Is it normal to kidnap footballers, @FIFAcom? Where are sports media organisations? This story should be the headline everywhere.

writing about how black women never lost their whimsy y’all just renamed it ghetto

She's pregnant.

Dutch police knocked her down to the ground in front of her husband.

[ALUTHEDON @Mbakaza4L]

this should hurt to look at. this should make you feel sick. this is one of the worst tragedies in human history and you can see it from space.

What I hear in this is an inability to imagine Palestinians outside of their relationship to Jews. They are not allowed independent political subjecthood. They are perpetually discussed in relation to someone else.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas

You all need to read this

[mari ☁️ @m_stormwitch]

personally, I'm gonna boycott every single show or movie that comes out if they've used AI in it. shame.

[Alex Prompter @alex_prompter]

Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.

Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.

Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."

Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."

Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.

They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.

One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."

Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.

That's the metered intelligence business model.

And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.

Everytime a black actress gets hate for a casting turns out eartha kitt has already done it 😭

[Mountain Ğeneral @MountainGenera]

Since Pope Leo XIV mentioned this in encyclical, this means if your employer is pushing you to use AI, you can cite religious conserns as a reason to not use it at work

[g. @GeauxGabrielle]

VOLUNTEERS?! This is the job of the Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS), which was a WORLD CLASS team of epidemiologists that handled this.

And RFK Jr. fired every single one of them. Pay me $75,000 like you did them and I’ll go do it.

[dhwani @dhwanisaraiya_]

They scraped the internet for every last bit of data, stole information from books, articles, art etc. all created by HUMANS, and now want to sell it back to you at a premium because you all have convinced yourselves this is the future and it’s inevitable lmao

More of this. Fuck decorum. They kill babies in tents.

[Boots Riley @BootsRiley]

Every day of the weekend, movies box office drops a certain percentage each day.

I Love Boosters had the least percentage drop of all the movies this weekend, by a fair amount.

This tells me the word of mouth is working.
