I cannot stress this enough, and I am tired of saying it: British white people, everything you are seeing in the US is coming here and you cannot watch Eurovision or Great British Bakeoff or sign petitions and think you can stiff-upper-lip or ignore your way out of this.

The reason I don’t post pictures of suffering in Gaza even though I’m asked to at times is because I lived through a decade of folk posting basically snuff films of Black people back when we thought we could convince society our lives matter. It convinced no one. But it did fuck up my mental health.

Whatever else it can do, this tech adds work and erodes trust. The extra work is time-wasting and wearying, and I resent the erosion of trust most deeply. I cannot believe it is healthy for society to be ever less sure that anything you encounter is the real thought or expression of a fellow human
I spend so much time verifying everything now from art to cited sources to photos to historical references to citations to quotes to legal and medical information that it's really hard to fathom how much work AI has collectively added to the world, not reduced
Here's the reality this example illustrates:
It's not even just about people blindly trusting what ChatGPT tells them. LLMs are poisoning the entire information ecosystem. You can't even necessarily trust that the citations in a published paper are real (or a search engine's descriptions of them).

Not that it wasn't abundantly clear, but the strategy for the UK's next pandemic is to, literally, do nothing.
NHS England: “It will not be possible to halt the spread of a new pandemic virus, and it would be a waste of public health resources and capacity to attempt to do so.”
This has got to be one of the most 🤯 things I’ve ever seen written down in an official document.

On January 1, Illinois begins to regulate employer use of AI, making it a civil rights violation to use AI tools that result in discrimination based on protected characteristics in hiring, promotion, discipline, termination, or other employment terms and requiring notice of AI use. #AIBillofRights
Illinois becomes one of the few states to regulate employer use of AI. House Bill 3773 amends the Illinois Human Rights Act to make it a civil rights violation for employers to use AI tools that result in discrimination based on race, gender, age, or disability.

It’s embarrassing to beg while I’m declining from cancer like this, while taking all week just to post a writing piece now pushes past my capacity and physically working is currently impossible.
Could you please at least share? Thank you.

Hey there. I know most of us are going through hard times right now.
So I’m sorry to even be asking, I put it off as long as I could. I’ve tried.
But my kids+ do still depend on me, and I am declining. Please don’t let me die in the street with my kid. Please share this so others might help us.

If there's a thing I really wish I had energy for again, it was smoking my own meat and bacon. There's something about smoking food that goes out of just cooking and into a form of chemistry that appeals to me.

This is a huge part of welfare benefits or anything that looks like an "advantage" to others; because ppl are miserable, they want other people to be as miserable as they are.
The idea that maybe we all could have a better life and can fight for that together doesn't occur if there's a scapegoat.

Years of scapegoating rhetoric and politicians casting disabled people as “scroungers” have reinforced prejudices about the blue badge parking scheme and led to “envy and resentment” instead of equal access, according to a four-year research project.

Minnesotans are diehard in a weird way because a lot of us have college educations and we realize that all ICE can do is threaten us or kill us. And killing us would create intense scrutiny and headaches that they don't need.

"All is lost" narratives are popular because people generally do not want to take action. Taking action is tiring so if all is lost, you are off the hook. Nothing is more seductive than not having to do anything.
