There is a Professor Watchlist you can look at if you can stomach it. Obviously, this campaign has been mainly (not always but mainly) targeted at folks of color, LGBTQ folks, and women until now.

i’ve seen enough. and by that i mean lots of evidence. If you’re running an account that uses phrases like “antifascist,” or anything in the vicinity, the FBI, the NYPD, it doesn’t really matter, it’s all the same thing now, you’re on a watchlist.

I was just walking around my garden and thinking, maybe we all need a space to be alone and in peace, a place where we don't need to negotiate how we are at that place...

Lo segundo peor de ese premio Nobel de "la paz" a Kissinger fue que Tom Lehrer se retiró porque la sátira política quedó obsoleta.

Ipse Lorum @ce-miquiztetl.bsky.social · 1d

Los premios Nobel de la paz son una pendejada. Se lo dieron a Kissinger cuando le decía a las dictaduras militares sudamericanas que desaparecieran bien a los ciudadanos porque "la ONU se iba a enterar".
Vamos, hasta a Obama y luego destruyó Libia.

Looks like Canada's approach to "sovereign AI" will involve creating structural dependencies on large US tech companies

Excerpt from an article that reads: Lehane met with AI Minister Evan Solomon on Monday. Solomon told The Logic in June that his mission is to “create sovereign AI.” But “sovereignty is not solitude,” Solomon said, noting that Canada still needs technology and capital from other countries.

OpenAI is participating in similar initiatives in other advanced economies. In May, the firm launched OpenAI for Countries, a new program that localizes ChatGPT and its underlying models for a nation’s particular customs and the requirements of its public sector. It is also offering to build data centres for countries that help pay for the infrastructure.

Countries are turning to OpenAI because of its “cutting-edge technology,” which can be used to build homegrown tools and applications, and because the firm can help stimulate their domestic AI ecosystems by building or buying compute capacity, Lehane said.

Vato le rozó un pedacito del fascismo y su conclusión fue hay que doblarse, una prueba más que su "valor" era simplemente ceguera del privilegio.

Una de las razones por las que te tomo menos en serio es si usas el término "metroidvania" acríticamente / naturalísticamente. Es una barrabasada anglosajona.

Historia graciosa, cuando saqué la residencia Estonia me preguntaron si había servido en alguna fuerza armada. Dije que no, la entrevistadora me preguntó, y el servicio militar y dije, nel, no. ¿Cómo es eso posible? Dijo la entrevistadora y yo apliqué la de del Toro

BTW "Rendición de cuentas mezquina" is such a beautiful and heartbreaking phrasing.

... At the end, and this is why I love your paper so much, the techno solutionist ethos of Mastodon is more important for the culture there than anything else.

Daniel @dadadan.bsky.social · 1d

I have a similar feeling, I am not "white" for the racists, but I am cis straight guy 'white hispanic' from a privileged social (not economic) position in Mexico, so my risk surface is so much smaller... What angers me about Mastodon is the culture there is intentionally oblivious to this issue...
