Good riddance. I'm sad about the people I'm losing contact with because of this decision but I cannot stay there any longer, for my own mental (and moral) health's sake.

A someone who has written extensively about the eugenic roots that permeates those who claim to be building so-called artificial general intelligence, I'm here to tell you to please NOT compare criticism against corporations claiming to build a machine god, with eugenics. The audacity.

if you're writing a sentence that sounds like eugenics but you go "oh that's fine to say because it's not a real person" (whatever that means) you may want to consider what made you okay with saying that.

“AI” don’t have feelings, memories, ideas, loves, interests, friends or anything else that makes them close to human. “AI” is an environmentally destructive plagiarism machine that makes nothing of value and makes no money. It’s a giant fucking scam and should be destroyed

I see a very cute raccoon family ... and also the head of a huge rodent, with a piercing stare and two very large front teeth, peeking up from behind the tree 😱

Can you imagine if Russia attacked and seized a UK vessel in international waters & kidnapped the people on board, including UK citizens, and the only response from the UK govt was to say that's "a matter for the Russian govt".

No, me neither.

If you're a billionaire and remain a billionaire month after month, you've failed your duty to society – you're part of the problem.

If you aren't able to creatively + wisely spend the ever-growing pile in your bank account to make society better and more sustainable, let *other* people help you. 📣

I could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me, but that is not the story.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

Last month Judge Diane Goodstein blocked SC from giving DOJ voter data.

Last week Harmeet Dhillon of the DOJ condemned Goodstein's ruling.

Yesterday Stephen Miller called "left wing judges & lawyers" as "terrorists requiring force."

Today Judge Goodstein's home is on fire, investigated for arson.

Jag har lite svårt att förstå varför det inte är en nationell storm över detta. En av våra mest kända svenskar har enligt uppgift förödmjukats, tvingas krypa & kyssa en främmande makts flagga, fängslad utan tillräckligt rent vatten. Expressen begravde nyheten längst ner. DN rapporterar inte alls.

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

Ten years ago (2015) ~15% of West Bank colonizers (uh, settlerrs) were American citizens. This does not include East Jerusalem. Today they generate the violence.

terrible things are happening outside. poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. families are torn apart. men, women, and children are separated. children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.

Det enda andra alternativet till militär vedergällning vore om regimen omkullkastas av den egna civilbefolkningen. Men det alternativet verkar föga sannolikt.

Grond/Språkvärn @ordvakt.bsky.social · 3d

Jag tror inte att Netanyahu-regimen kommer att lyssna till något annat än militära påtryckningar. Deras storhetsvansinne och grymhetsorienterade retorik är nu så luttrad och ingrodd att beslutsfattare knappast lär påverkas i en positiv riktning av endast humanitära argument.

Grond/Språkvärn @ordvakt.bsky.social · 3d

I'm appalled and furious.
And I'm unfortunately not very optimistic about what our current government/prime minister is going to say. He's a cowardly brown-nosing weasel who has done little more for regular Swedish people than take our money and put it in the pockets of his rich buddies.
