If I’m paying for a streaming service, there shouldn’t be ads. Not on Disney+, Amazon, Hulu, or anywhere else. Ads belong on the free tiers of these platforms. If advertisers are already paying to put ads in front of me, why am I paying to sit through them too?
I’m not intimidated by AI. I’m repulsed by it. I’m not jealous of AI art. I know it’s predictive rather than creative, and built on stolen content. I’m not scared of new technology. I’m scared of a world without trees, bees, fresh air, and clean water.
Dear white women. The Handmaids Tale did not "predict the future," it is without exaggeration based on the real treatment of Black and Indigenous people thru history. It HAS happened, its BEEN happening, its just for the first time it is happening to YOU. Get it together.
We cannot consider #AI to be morally neutral. In reality, every technical tool embodies choices and priorities through what it measures, ignores, and optimizes, and how it classifies people and situations. Ethical discernment cannot be limited to asking whether we are using a system for good or bad purposes. It must also examine how that system is designed and what vision of the human person and society is embedded in the data and models that guide it. #MagnificaHumanitas
Do you remember when radio stations used to give away concert tickets and backstage passes? I just heard a midday radio giveaway, and now the prizes are groceries, a year of gas, or rent paid. It’s a strange reminder that survival has become the prize. That’s pretty sad.
