In my book I call this the Disability Diversion where all criticism of techno fascism is deflected with appeals to technosaviorism.

I know that @fractalecho.bsky.social and @lizjackson.bsky.social wrote a great piece on a related topic: how disability tech and technologies of war and violence are entangled for @thenewrepublic.bsky.social
It’s a must read to understand disability and AI discourse

ICO writes to Meta over 'concerning' AI smart glasses report Videos, including of glasses-wearers using the toilet or having sex, are sometimes reviewed by a Kenya-based subcontractor.

Last year when I was checking into a hotel, the desk person was wearing Meta glasses. I kindly asked them to take them off. They were annoyed. I said, “I do not consent to you looking at my credit card and ID with Meta glasses on.” My instincts were correct: www.bbc.com/news/article...

The IDF just ordered the forced evacuation of *all of Dahieh* a day after ordering the forced evacuation of all of South Lebanon.

Israel is taking advantage of the focus on Iran to destroy Lebanon

those tech people who do advocate for slowing down, being critical, or refusing to adopt it are routinely misrepresented as wanting to stick their head in the sand, it's not good

After a federal judge banned the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) from using 40mm foam projectile launchers in crowd-control settings, the LAPD replaced the 40mm with another “less-lethal” launcher: the FN303.

Your periodic reminder that "human-like AI" is a near-meaningless framing with deeply ableist, sexist, racist, colonialist, eugenicist roots. Stop uncritically deploying it.

Another way out: Power, force, and far-right rewards for killing The far-right’s celebration of killing and the state’s complicity in it show that violence is one of America’s sustaining forces

“For those who long to kill, the opportunity to do so for ICE—shielded by immunity, offered to regular police too—is the fulfillment of a white accelerationist mandate.”

anyone got articles handy on the links between big AI companies / investors and fascism? ideally slightly more specific than general technofascism but as long as it makes the AI link explicit I'll take it

Fortune favors the lobbyists Tech Brew keeps business leaders up-to-date on the latest innovations, automation advances, policy shifts, and more, so they can make informed decisions about tech.

This is why millions of people use AI. Not (solely) on (percieved) usefulness but the 💩 has better marketing than the HIV cure or UBI (both of which are better for society)

lots of people talking about being called schizophrenic who are (hopefully) about 1 step away from understanding that mental illnesses are politically constructed categories

Discomfort is a requirement for persistent change. If you need your hand to be held, go hold that of the state.

Move out of the way and let folks do the work.

and let’s keep it a band most of the people shocked

Are only shocked about it because it’s starting to be applied to white people ln ways they can’t ignore

And I’m angry not because I sit in judgement. I ain’t sure I care at this point

It’s that we can’t MOVE til we hit that awareness

in trying to understand what makes ICE and CBP so dangerous right now, it is tempting to imagine some new lack of training or experience or professionalism—and not grapple with the truth that a white nationalist movement has put more power and force behind their existing mission
