Weaponizing blackness to defend AI as if it hasn’t already been used to racially profile Black people and poison Black communities is pathetic, but what else should I expect from this man?
This says a lot about America. Its “leftist peak” was when it was led by a racist president who threw Japanese people in camps for no reason other than bigotry.
“People get used to anything. The less you think about your oppression, the more your tolerance for it grows. After a while, people just think oppression is the normal state of things. But to become free, you have to be acutely aware of being a slave.” -Assata Shakur
46 people, including press, were arrested tonight at the Delaney Hall protest. The rationale was because they had helmets, masks and shields.
That’s not justification. That’s fascism.
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 google Cuba the whole fucking Top Stories section is Hasan Piker, not the US strengthening the embargo that is evolving into a genocidal seige, not the disgusting affronts to Cuban sovereignty
This is an essential point that many people overlook. The rose that grows in a greenhouse is amazing but the rose that grows in concrete is EXCEPTIONAL!
Kristen Stewart says she's "so sick" of the studio system in Hollywood:
"It is not designed for artists to express themselves. We’re just really under the thumb of different priorities that don’t align with real dream-making. And I don’t mean to wax poetically because I mean this so very literally, I just don’t think that it’s possible to create sort of radical, vital work under capitalistic parameters." https://t.co/WHK5J1keLd
Interesting how the world often treats the French Revolution as the only great symbol of freedom and rights, while the Haitian Revolution is treated like a footnote. Yet, Haiti did what many abolitionists elsewhere only preached, i.e., enslaved people rising up and defeating an empire, abolishing slavery, and claiming freedom by force. Haiti’s history deserves equal, and maybe greater, reverence.
Brilliant documentary by @AJEnglish 👌🏽
@TCUisbetter@the_menace01@AustinCooper90@GaiusChetto@KyleKulinski Youre either extremely dishonest or an idiot. Obviously stock prices rise from more people buying than selling. WHATS THE POINT OF BUYING THE STOCK IN THE FIRST PLACE? BC OF THE EXPECTATION THAT THE COMPANY WILL GENERATE FUTURE PROFITS (which is only possible through labor)
@conomarz@GaiusChetto@KyleKulinski And also yes, the housing issue is actually a huge problem that is directly exacerbated by the wealthy and powerful. Something that is necessary to live shouldn’t be treated as a commodity
@conomarz@GaiusChetto@KyleKulinski Obviously im not advocating for jobs to stop offering benefits, but I have to point out that jobs offering such benefits only proves that they extract enough value from the workers to offer them and still profit
