Insatiable Hunger: Why We Need to Oppose Datacenters by jasperbrown
A zine about datacenters that won't offend your grandmother and will make sense to a kiddo.
jasperbrown.itch.io
Hey there! I created a zine! It's free because I didn't have the spoons to go through Itch's tax interview on limited sleep. Also, like, datacenters are scary and we need to fight them yesterday. Please spread around!

"Ethical AI" does not exist. There is no reality where you can have generative AI that's "ethically trained". There are ZERO AI models trained ethically, and there will never be any.
The term has been made up by people who want a pass on using AI. You don't get that pass, slop peddlers.

Y'all, it matters that journalists are being arrested on US soil for existing as journalists. Remember when we told y'all fascist regimes look a particular way. This is that.

One of the few politicians I find myself cheering for. None of this "they need to wear body cams and then it's fine" crap. ICE doesn't belong *anywhere*, full stop.
ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.
We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Mayor Mamdani consistently and regularly demonstrates that your mayor, your politicians, could be doing this at any point and they just don't because they don't care, and that's exactly why the establishment was panicked and aggressively tried to make sure he lost. They didn't want you to see this.

Hello #BookSky & fellow #writers - I'm new to getting accepted at publications. Is it normal to not hear anything from editors after accepting a space in the upcoming publication? Given the current, more important hellscape, and how much work goes into publishing, assuming everyone is on fire rn.

Ok, but vast majority of Bluesky users have absolutely no idea how vulnerable they are *HERE* so it would be great if there wasnt an implicit “we’re safe here”
Bluesky is much easier to datamine and it costs absolutely nothing to do it. One of the devs cloned the entire dataset in a few hours.

Since he said this:

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara told his officers that they have a duty to intervene if they see ICE committing crimes and will be fired if they don't. We need a lot more of this.

ICE is in Minneapolis. AND they are also terrorizing Portland and Lewiston ME right now. People are being dragged from their cars and out of the classroom there too. If you have funds, show your support for groups resisting there as well.
