My family and town archives have had such a strong hand in shaping me into the amateur archivist I am today. Writing about the archives near to my heart is part of increasing their accessibility and impact, and the first step towards making this passion a career. Read more:

They want you to believe your voice doesn't matter.

Yet in just the last few days:

-LAPD canceled its Flock contract.

-Meta cancelled Muse Image AI after privacy outrage.

-One of the largest planned U.S. data centers was killed (PW Digital Gateway) by local opposition.

The surveillance state isn't inevitable.

It advances when people are apathetic.
It retreats when people fight back.

Public pressure works. Keep pushing.

i highly recommend everyone read Artificial Whiteness: Politics and Ideology in Artificial Intelligence by Yarden Katz!

[bONGO 🌹 @wariocolosseum]

i think more ppl should be upset that politicians so clearly intend to establish a surveillance state with the use of ai

[Joshua Bailey @JoshuaBailey184]

Destroying Flock cameras being no different than our forefathers throwing tea into the harbor is an apt comparison

‼️FOR PEOPLE WHO SPEAK ENGLISH‼️:
In Short, Places in Mexico (and other Latin American countries) are having their water privatized by Israel—presumably for AI data centers—which terribly affects the citizens of Mexico (and other Latin Americans)

One of the biggest misconceptions society has about chronic illness is assuming all activities cost the same amount of energy.

Watching TV or playing video games from bed is not comparable to working an 8-hour shift.

Employment requires sustained physical, cognitive, and often emotional effort that passive activities simply don’t.

Dante’s Inferno is so funny. There’s a man crawling one inch every 100 years through hell to get revenge on someone who cheated him. One circle contains the current pope, still living. A demon blows a trumpet with his arse. It’s maybe the greatest book ever written.
