This is very painful to watch.

I see why Luxon high tailed it out of there, but do you see how O'Brien is just asking questions? No insults, no minefields - just the press doing their job but a government intent on undermining the fourth estate in a re-run of MAGA politics

Asking tourists to volunteer 5 years of their social media history, and granting them entrance based on whether right-wing bureaucrats personally agree with their personal posts is what authoritarian regimes do.

This will decimate U.S. tourism.

Nearly 18,000 babies and new mothers hospitalised in Gaza for acute malnutrition in October alone. Israel is allowing in less than 25% of the aid trucks it promised in the "ceasefire" deal.

Don't believe the spin: the genocide isn't over.

Unicef: "Generations of families, including those being born now into this ceasefire, have been forever altered by what was inflicted upon them.”

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Europe today.
Citizens opposing genocide attacked by police.
Journalists & activists exposing genocide criminalised.
Conferences investigating genocide cancelled.
Dissent labelled ‘antisemitism’ by law.
Europeans' taxes used to repress freedoms & shield those committing genocide.

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

I personally would never suggest that mass murdering children is an important part of Jewish life by claiming that opposing the mass murder of children is hateful toward Jews. I would never say that.

But Zionists are saying it. They say it every single day.

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

THIS IS NOT A CEASEFIRE.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

Don’t commit genocide?

Start with that one.

[Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️ @SketchesbyBoze]

This is the way forward. Ban AI-generated visual art, ban AI music, ban photorealistic AI images of people. Shame corporations that platform and promote AI “artists.” Support human writing and human art.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

⛔️ CRIMINAL.
Every Palestinian is a terrorist for the Israeli army, starting with 8 and 11 year old children. This is the genocide logic which the so-called ‘ceasefire’ has not changed one inch. States must impose an ARMS EMBARGO and sanctions on Israel, not empty 'peace plans'.

I want to thank Amazon for removing their English AI dub of #BANANAFISH. That being said, myself and many others believe that every other language should be given the same respect. The same goes for every other piece of media that has been dubbed with AI for your platform.

I believe the Spanish AI dub is still available at this time, and I sincerely hope that it will soon be given the same treatment as the English dub. Please, no half measures - we as creatives want to know that we're being heard and respected. That we have your support. A massive number of your consumers have now vehemently expressed they want real performers, not AI.

It needs to be every AI dub, @PrimeVideo @amazon. Not just the ones currently under fire. Thank you for hearing us, and I hope this is the beginning of a path toward a remedied future.

[Reuben Lack @thereubeh]

I can't stress the importance for anime dub fans globally, English or otherwise, to express their distaste for AI dubs now while you still have the chance.

I guess pretending this was about Hamas is over

OpenAI Loses Key Discovery Battle as It Cedes Ground to Authors in AI Lawsuits

"OpenAI could be on the hook for hundreds of millions, if not billions, of dollars if it was aware it was infringing on copyrighted material."

Of course they were aware!

[Frances 'Cassandra' Coppola @Frances_Coppola]

You invaded a town far inside another country's borders, terrorised its residents, and killed four civilians including an elderly woman.

Civilians who take up arms to resist your illegal invasion are not terrorists, they are legitimately defending their town.

We are all tired of your lies.

[Kenneth Roth @KenRoth]

The disturbing normality with which Israeli forces executed two Palestinian men who had surrendered shows the impunity for such atrocities that Israeli troops believe they enjoy. The only difference: this time they were filmed. https://t.co/xQ2RaAfIqO

The only thing standing between the wholesale ownership, exploitation and destruction of our country by foreign corporations is our founding document, Te Tiriti o Waitangi. Why do you think this Government are working so hard to destroy it & undermine Māori rights?
Wake up!

"Don't pirate our games!" They screamed, while employing tools that pirated the works of millions of artists.

[Barry Malone @malonebarry]

Gaza is slowly disappearing from the headlines. We can’t let it. Israel is still killing Palestinians. The “ceasefire” is a fiction.

[Reid Southen @Rahll]

They've circled back to just wanting to listen to other people's music, but are unable to understand that they don't need AI for that. They're so close...
