@hbomax This trailer has all the makings of a varsity athlete.

Every time I see this video I think about how the girls are positioned behind the boys, who can’t see and learn from them but still get to lead from the front.

Probably a metaphor in there idk.

They’re destroying the books.
They’re destroying the museums.
They’re prosecuting the scientists.
They’re cutting down the forests.
They’re destroying the planet.

[COCO @TWOTIMESABITCH]

kinda nuts that we live on the only planet with fresh, drinkable water and we’ve decided to waste it all on war and artificial intelligence

I met this guy walking his cat and asked its name he said “Luna” and I’m like aww that’s adorable then he said “Yeah it’s short for Lunatic” LMAOOO SIR!

There is a Greek myth about a Titan named Prometheus who stole fire from the gods and gave it to humanity.

The gods punished him for it.

Not because fire was inherently evil.

Because fire was power, and power was supposed to flow in one direction only.

The empire does not tell this story about nuclear weapons because the analogy is too precise and too damning.

The United States built the bomb with the help of scientists who fled fascism, tested it on indigenous land without the consent of indigenous people, used it on Asian civilians, and then spent eighty years insisting it alone had the wisdom and the restraint and the civilizational maturity to be trusted with it.

Meanwhile, the countries it invaded, destabilized, sanctioned, and threatened looked at the fire.

And reached for it.

Not because they want to burn the world.

Because Prometheus understood something that every enslaved person understands before the philosophers do:

The gods are not actually gods.

They are just the ones who got to the fire first.

This is how capitalists will address climate change. Instead of placing the slightest restrictions on billionaires, the ruling class will propose murdering half the world’s population.

There are enough resources on this planet for every living human. There are not enough resources on this planet for the fossil fuel industry, unregulated deforestation, data centers, private jets, and endless wars.

As the Earth gets hotter, the seasons get more extreme, & the disasters get closer to your home, there will be an increased focus on convincing you these conditions are the result of the many’s existence, instead of capitalism, which loots the world to line the pockets of a few.

South Africa has higher crime and more corruption than India by many measures. Yet after driving more than 1,000 km here, I haven’t seen a single person jump a lane, ignore traffic rules, or horn. I haven’t seen a traffic cop either. The roads are smooth, with almost no patchwork. I’ve travelled to nearly 50 countries, and one thing continues to bother me. Why do we accept such poor road quality and such weak traffic discipline in India? We deserve much better.

Even if AI wasn’t unethically built, I’d avoiding using it just from the mental atrophy alone. Every story I hear about AI dependency is alarming

[eva @_glorianas]

immigration debate will go nowhere until we all come to terms it is deeply inhumane to have such massive differences in living standards across the globe and expect people to just accept that

[Lilah RPG 💜 🇵🇸 @LilahRPGtt]

I need people to understand, AI can't read, it can't understand your question. It uses pattern recognition. If you're using it for research, its not research, its selective and biased results based on pattern matching, if there's no pattern it fills the blanks with false info.

I am sure Christopher Nolan is a good guy, but if I was married to someone who made THREE whole-ass movies about a guy who throws it all away to run away with Anne Hathaway then buddy I WOULD HAVE QUESTIONS

I absolutely refuse to eat at any food place that has an AI generated menu because what do you mean your food isn’t good enough to photograph

[Geoff Keighley @geoffkeighley]

Hats off to doctoral student and podcaster Zhong Shu in Beijing, China, who did this fascinating and smart interview with Christopher Nolan about THE ODYSSEY yesterday, originally posted to Bilibili.

A great listen/watch.

[Rakesh Kumar @Rakeshhkumaar]

They call it a “free market” until you trade outside the dollar, nationalize your resources, or elect a leader Washington doesn’t approve of. Then come the sanctions. Then come the coups. Then comes war. Suddenly, “free market” means following Washington’s rules.

[Ciarán @androgynator]

your critique of ai cannot be entrenched in aesthetics because there will be a time when you see an ai image or hear an ai song and think "that looks/sounds good". your critique of ai must always be entrenched in the poisonous effect it has on people's brains and the planet.

[Tiberius @tiberiusfiles]

Everything is backwards, upside down, inside out. The worst of us are elevated to unimaginable privilege while the best of us are persecuted for daring to pursue decency, and it just keeps getting more and more ridiculous every single day.

[Lien @Jacksonsrule]

So let me get this straight:
The Ai companies are buying up all of our books, scanning them into their software and then destroying the books so that the only place to get that information is through
them And without hard copies they can literally alter any information they want and thus rewrite history to control the future.
The "knowledge is power" war has officially started and we are just .. watching..

I'm imagining a dystopia where everyone is fed yearly dystopia films to distract them from the fact that they already live in a dystopia
