AI, memory, and political history: “Montevideo, 1983” is a generative video that revisits my own childhood memories of life under Uruguay’s dictatorship. Currently shown at @CE_Subte, in an amazing exhibition curated by @martincraciun. https://t.co/iokLEAXzJ3

Destroying the @InternetArchive's @WayBackMachine would be the equivalent of the burning of the Library of Alexandria - one of the worst losses of knowledge in history.

Media giants are now threatening to do this.

We can't let this happen.

Pass it on.

@RColesworthy I would also love a PDF, if possible. Thanks!

Today, Netanyahu put out a video attacking the U.S. for not sending him bombs fast enough.

Let’s be clear: His right wing, extremist government has killed 37,000 Palestinians.

The U.S. should withhold all offensive military aid to Israel and demand an end to this war.

JULIAN ASSANGE IS FREE

Julian Assange is free. He left Belmarsh maximum security prison on the morning of 24 June, after having spent 1901 days there. He was granted bail by the High Court in London and was released at Stansted airport during the afternoon, where he boarded a plane and departed the UK.

This is the result of a global campaign that spanned grass-roots organisers, press freedom campaigners, legislators and leaders from across the political spectrum, all the way to the United Nations. This created the space for a long period of negotiations with the US Department of Justice, leading to a deal that has not yet been formally finalised. We will provide more information as soon as possible.

After more than five years in a 2x3 metre cell, isolated 23 hours a day, he will soon reunite with his wife Stella Assange, and their children, who have only known their father from behind bars.

WikiLeaks published groundbreaking stories of government corruption and human rights abuses, holding the powerful accountable for their actions. As editor-in-chief, Julian paid severely for these principles, and for the people's right to know.

As he returns to Australia, we thank all who stood by us, fought for us, and remained utterly committed in the fight for his freedom.

Julian's freedom is our freedom.

Hommage Numérique, my #GenAI film honouring avant-garde cinema. As @manovich kindly said: "this beautiful film shows what you can do with the right background, skills, and intention. The film looks unlike anything people commonly associate with AI art". https://t.co/kcrmC94izZ

@ElkeSchwarz Equally (and more) effective deception tools have always been available to "the powers that be". Are these tools only scary when (relatively) democratised?

[Scott Hechinger @ScottHech]

Thirty-four states, as well as the District of Columbia, authorize the death penalty or a sentence of death-in-prison (life without the possibility of parole) for a death that occurs that the defendant had no intention of committing.
