The thing about all these freak AI execs constantly going "our machine may have gained sentience?!" is that they want slaves. That they are ok with slave labor.

And *then* it always, always turns out their latest AI trick actually used slave labor somewhere in the global south.

They're slavers.

Drone video showed the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in occupied East Jerusalem empty at the start of the third Friday in Ramadan, after Israeli authorities restricted access to holy sites.

Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid says that Israel should depopulate and destroy every village in southern Lebanon, with the Yellow Line in Gaza as the model, and that "it may not be pleasant to scrape off two or three Lebanese villages, but they brought this on themselves."

BREAKING: @aoc.bsky.social just came out swinging in the House E&C hearing against dangerous & misguided "age verification" legislation (aka online ID checks) that would force everyone to upload government ID or get a face scan before accessing content or posting online.

Video incoming. This is big

Make any comment about the evil of AI on the internet and you inevitably get these people saying, "Ah, but you can't halt progress." You know what else people thought was progress not long after it was invented? Asbestos.

Amazing site here via @timnitgebru.bsky.social - a map of big tech influence on media and media companies.

imo this goes a decent way to explaining why coverage of AI specifically has been so shockingly bad recently. Very useful resource!!

Often nature moments are envisioned and waited for.

You see something or imagine it might happen, and you have to plan and return multiple times

Often it never happens

Then there are the completely unexpected encounters

Like a baby goose hopping on mamas back

And it's FUCKING ADORABLE!

Hi! It looks like you're trying make a "meme" with generative AI.

Would you like to eat shit and die in a fire instead?
