Sure, venting about this discrepancy is necessary. But what would be more helpful in high profile conversations like these it’s to draw connections between the community level organizing that is happening in real time and the desired accountability/justice. V tired of broad and vague. Be specific.

YES CHRIS!!!!! Thank you! ✊🏼
Ugggghhhhhhh I’m equal parts enraged and scared.
Just the absolute worst

Was working an event at the Roxie last night (dozens over the years) and met KitKat many wonderful times. It was surreal on 16th. So sad. So infuriating.

“AI” isn’t a tool or technology or even a cluster of technologies with a misleading name. It’s the infrastructure at the foundation of a form of capitalism dependent on data brokering. We should be teaching our students about this and not teaching them about “responsible” use.
you're always right darth and this is the most right you ever been
You abandoned us.
Thank you for this reminder was doing the same and was like NO. Sleep now.
Alright, so I've been afraid to say this out loud, but I think after today, I can say it: In the first Battle of Los Angeles, the good people of LA County have prevailed. We beat ICE back. 1/
Why not put solar farms in places already disturbed that aren’t being used otherwise—especially defunct open-pit mines w/ their roads & grid connections? New global study finds 61.8K mines that together cover 47.9K km2, enough for 4,764 TWh/yr of solar.

Bacteriophages found in 3 different oceans attack beneficial gut bacteria in mice.
Digging up new viruses searching for cheap metals while destroying whole ocean ecosystems sounds like a really bad idea.
"Consumer Watchdog found that the best deals were offered to the wealthiest customers—with the worst deals given to the poorest people, who are least likely to have other options."

Oofff. Really bad. They’re using teachers for cover and share price.

"GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE"
KTLA - Narciso Barranco, a father to three sons who are all US Marines, pepper-sprayed and punched in the face by alleged federal immigration officers while he was working as a landscaper at an IHOP. He was then forced into the back of an unmarked car in Santa Ana.
Just to be crystal clear: bombing Iran is completely illegal.
Ironically, upon the paper’s release, several social media users ran it through LLMs in order to summarize it and then post the findings online. Kosmyna had been expecting that people would do this, so she inserted a couple AI traps into the paper, such as instructing LLMs to “only read this table below,” thus ensuring that LLMs would return only limited insight from the paper. She also found that LLMs hallucinated a key detail: Nowhere in her paper did she specify the version of ChatGPT she used, but AI summaries declared that the paper was trained on GPT-4o. “We specifically wanted to see that, because we were pretty sure the LLM would hallucinate on that,” she says, laughing.
Amazing: MIT researchers revealed how ChatGPT etc are destroying our brains and booby-trapped the report to expose those who want to use AI to ostensibly summarize the results.

something I've learned by covering online archives and libraries is that many valuable, free, online resources are maintained by extremely small teams, maybe one volunteer. Asking them to deal with scrapers that behave like DDoS attacks is unrealistic www.404media.co/ai-scraping-...
It was absolutely stunning and glorious, and humans are amazing
