I would read this guide—something like “welcoming people into safer communications, while also not demobilizing them when they inevitably make a mistake.” I can’t think of another time when people were urgently needing these tools and skills at this scale.

I need people who don’t live in the Twin Cities to stop telling people not to join massive Signal groups right now. People are doing it. They’re going to keep doing it. Give them good advice about it.

The actually practical advice is don’t say anything to 1000 strangers you wouldn’t say in public

something i often forget but am trying to remember: in democratic politics, the amount of credit for being right you get is directly correlated with how willing you are to allow most people to pretend they were never wrong in the first place - or if they were, it was for the right reasons.

Condé Nast forgot to renew the trademark for Gourmet and so a group of journalists grabbed it and are relaunching the food magazine as a worker-owned co-op. Love it. [gourmetmagazine.net]
Gourmet Magazine
Gourmet is a worker-owned publication about food and the people who make and consume it.

This is one of the best comments on some of the marketing tactics behind AI that I’ve seen.

There are of course, other elements to their approach/targetting, but this is good.

GenAI seems to be marketed towards folks who would like to or need to upskill but cannot (for whatever reason) while those who use it possibly cannot see how it effectively deskills and/or infantilises them.

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI
recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best. It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

Add another one to the great big board of "Urban Planning Debates: Academic Research vs. Some Guy"
A board of Peer-Reviewed Academic Research vs. Some Guy, whose generic white businessman avatar is taken from the classic Onion article of the guy who says "no it won't" in response to critique of the Iraq War. Supervised consumption sites can reduce local crime, while improving health outcomes VS. No they don't Building more highways will keep traffic congestion levels the same VS. No it won't Speed cameras lead to a reduction in speeds and fewer deaths VS. No they don't Increasing the police budget will not have a measurable impact on lowering crime rates VS. Yes it will

it is wholly in the best interests of power if you’re so weary of your endless misery scroll that your nerves are numbed, they want you to experience the video of the killing as a roughly equivalent nuisance to their AI slop posts jeering about wokeness
