Being part of a generation that was told “Wikipedia is not a source” makes it genuinely baffling to me that jobs are now telling people to just use ChatGPT for everything.
Wait, so we were told to take shorter showers, turn off the tap while brushing our teeth, and conserve water at every opportunity… but data centers can show up and use millions of gallons like it’s nothing?
Generative AI doesn’t run on magic. It runs on massive data pipelines built on privacy violations by design.
Our new @Amnesty report exposes how big tech’s AI systems are powered by surveillance, data extraction, and abuse of people’s rights, at scale.
We researched the models powering some of the most popular publicly available standalone generative AI tools, including GPT 3 by Open AI, Google’s Gemini, Meta’s Llama, DeepSeek and tools by Midjourney and Stable Diffusion.
This is not innovation at any cost. It comes at a high price: our human rights.

@HeleneUntamed@SketchesbyBoze Maybe don't put accounts you approve of 50% of the time on blast just because the remaining 50% annoys you. I'm not sure @SketchesbyBoze is here to serve you and it's just bad form.
@SketchesbyBoze Because they've never experienced that addictive feeling of getting lost in a book. Or, time spent sitting and reading is a luxury they don't have.
@theodorebeers@_ZachFoster@richten_nach@WhiteHouse@FDD Calling out propaganda & lobbying arms of Israel, even Israeli intelligence, is not antisemitic. Enough of this knee-jerk reaction. We don't even speak about Israel's nuclear weapons program. Why? Is it antisemitic to talk about it or is it policy? I've had enough.
I hate to break it to you, but everyone is “problematic.” Human beings are flawed. If they weren’t, literature and art would not exist. You’ve been duped by an ideology that will happily rob you of all joy and complexity in life and art.
News shouldn’t disappear. 🕳️
Some publishers are blocking the Wayback Machine, putting the public record at risk. Journalists are speaking out.
Add your name. Stand for preserving the news.

Lindsey Graham says that they are going to introduce legislation so that you, the tax payer, have to pay $400 million for Trump's ballroom, which, by the way, you won't be allowed to go inside because you are a poor peasant, it's for the lords and masters only.
NEWS FLASH:
Neither Elon Musk nor Sam Altman care about us. Elon's pretend caring is the worst. How can he pretend to care about humanity when his actions show otherwise? Full of it.
(🧵1/10) With renewed attention on my recent @NewYorker reporting about Sam Altman and OpenAI, it's worth revisiting a piece I wrote for the magazine about another tech billionaire who has accumulated unusual leverage over the US government—and whose hand many readers have lately seen at work in their feeds.
For that story, I spent months interviewing more than thirty of Elon Musk's current and former colleagues, along with current and former officials at NASA, the Department of Defense, the FAA, the Department of Transportation, and OSHA. Many of their observations have only grown more relevant since.
