A group of hospital physicians met for a virtual rounds meeting.

What they didn't realize was that Otter.ai was on the call, too.

They found out when the AI transcriber sent a transcript of the meeting -- patient information and all -- to dozens of current and former staff after the call.
AI bot recorded doctors’ meeting, sent patient info to current and former hospital staff, watchdog says
The transcription tool recorded the meeting on behalf of a physician who no longer worked at the hospital

Now with #AltText
A rounded sedan with a giant cherry on top, the typical look of a San Francisco Waymo so-called “automatic driving vehicle” is covered in ACAB graffiti, 1312 written on it, gay shame, a virus in the system. It’s windows are punched out, there is smoke coming from it. Text reads “kill a Waymo, save a cat.” Text is black on a white background.

Watching the Epstein survivor admit that she voted for Trump really fucked with my head. The brainwashing against the left that apparently people endure from birth, must be way deeper than I ever imagined. A victim voting for a rapist, who has also been accused by 26 other women? Over a woman? WTAF?

This is one of the worst, most horrifying exposures we have ever seen. It is hard to overstate how bad the things that people are using tools like for are, and it's insane to pretend like these tools are anything other than nonconsensual porn machines

to my new followers and not, see this if you want to understand why and how much the AI bros hate women and people generally (by @spookyachu.bsky.social, Annelies K, and me):

yes, and the history so SO BAD, see: Erscoi, L., Kleinherenbrink, A., & Guest, O. (2023). Pygmalion Displacement: When Humanising AI Dehumanises Women. SocArXiv. doi.org/10.31235/osf...
figure 2 from Erscoi, L., Kleinherenbrink, A., & Guest, O. (2023). Pygmalion Displacement: When Humanising AI Dehumanises Women. SocArXiv. https://doi.org/10.31235/osf.io/jqxb6 table 1 from Erscoi, L., Kleinherenbrink, A., & Guest, O. (2023). Pygmalion Displacement: When Humanising AI Dehumanises Women. SocArXiv. https://doi.org/10.31235/osf.io/jqxb6 The original non-fictional instance of Pygmalion displacement, enabled by ideas like Turing (1950, as discussed above), is the history of how it came to be that women, human computers, were replaced by machines, digital computers. One of the first women computers was Nicole-Reine Lepaute who was a French astronomer in the 18th century. Scientific calculations for such cases like for astronomical observatories, for ballistic trajectories, as well as the material realities of the Second World War and the Cold War, pushed the need for fast computations and in large numbers (Grier 2005). Performing these calculations was a task which was considered tedious, was low in rank, was paid poorly, and was even mocked; and thus perhaps unsurprisingly, was carried out by immigrants and women. So-called “computer girls” were the main computing workforce. They worked hard, innovated immensely, and were often highly educated (Grier 2005). However, they were also often framed as enjoying so-called boring work, which is a valuejudgement without basis, and written out of history (Mundy 2017). Even when (underhanded) compliments were attempted they were patronising, e.g., “the women enjoyed the challenge of this work and did not find it tedious or boring.” (Ceruzzi 1991, p. 239, reproducing a text from 1942) As were descriptions of these women’s understanding, e.g., “[i]t is doubtful these women knew in 1942 [...] that they were part of a profound event of modern social and technical history.” (p. 239) These statements appear sexist and racist on their face. Why would these women (the quote previously is specifically about inter alia African American women who worked for the predecessor to NASA), or indeed anybody, not think they were helping in radical and unprecedented ways to, e.g., defeat the Nazis or send/return people from/to space? This is bizarre since, due to asking them for secrecy, they were also explicitly told they were obviously part of the war effort. Thus, while these w… The systemic forces that subjugate us, by trapping us in an endless cycle of AI-enabled displacement, will by no means benefit from being named. And indeed being named and described — being able to say “this constitutes a Pygmalion displacement” — are the first steps to providing us with some understanding, which itself is a precursor to ending this hitherto endless cycle. If just following orders, has been deemed insufficient as an excuse when collaborating with fascistic forces, we must ask ourselves where we stand today within capitalist patriarchy, which commands to either take up certain jobs for lesser pay, and then roll over unfazed when we are automated away. Lest we be interrogated and found lacking in humanity by future generations, we should think carefully about our complicity in our own, as women, as denizens of the Global North, etc., and others’ technological subjugation. Do we take a stand, minimally rhetorically, against our own violent displacement, or do we stand by it? To paraphrase the quote from Penny (2017) we used above, women unlike fictional robots who uncover their own “humanity” or sentience, we already know we are human and we already experience sentience. We also already know our own position. We will rebel, and we will not be stopped. I will rule these machines; they will not rule me. Eileen Buckholtz, 2020, p. 59

I remember the huge discussion that happened in Romania when authorities suddenly let the Tate brothers leave the country, despite being under judicial supervision. When people said Trump asked for their release (their first destination being Mar-a-Lago), they were called conspiracy theorists.

The most horrifying AI slop of ICE raids you can possibly imagine is wildly viral on Facebook, collectively totaling tens of millions of views from a single account. First spotted by @chadloder.bsky.social

AI-Generated Videos of ICE Raids Are Wildly Viral on Facebook
An account is spamming horrific, dehumanizing videos of immigration enforcement because the Facebook algorithm is rewarding them for it.

Just found out a bunch of my private boards on Pinterest are being automatically flagged by AI systems, like this one for "graphic violence", and I would like to be able to hate on AI art without an AI wrongfully flagging me, thanks.

Art by www.robcham.com btw.

I'm sure Orwell is inventing the perpetual motion machine as we speak by rolling in his grave from doing "I told you so"s.

Cool documentary but had a couple of jumpscares from their AI-generated footage, even if to prove a point.
