"At times like this, it is good to gather in community". Felt like every queer and activist in Athens turned out for Judith Butler last night. "As my friends in Argentina say, there are only two genders: Fascist and Antifascist."

After I published this story last week, I heard from readers, tech policy experts, even tech workers who were angry the tech industry was pushing this bill, and many sent thanks for reporting the story. I also lost paying subscribers, who, I surmise, prefer to think of AI as apolitical.

As with any event overflowing with art — in this case, Bard's Center for Curatorial Studies' graduate show — there is always the wonderfully irritating sense that we’ll miss something. That feeling aside, this beast of an exhibition, featuring more than 50 artists, made a strong impression.

New! Latest study from @oii.ox.ac.uk researchers Franziska Sofia Hafner, @anavaldi.bsky.social and @rocher.lc shows how AI language models encode a flawed understanding of gender. This poses risks for transgender, nonbinary, and cisgender individuals, particularly with AI used in health tech. 1/5

Leonardo Drew is an American artist known for abstract sculptures using raw, weathered materials. Since the '90s, he has transformed found objects by burning, oxidizing, or aging them. “For me,” Drew says, “I need to go through the rigor, touch it, get involved with it... You become the weather.”

The reason many in the US / EU look down on Palestinians or try excuse Israeli crimes by blaming Hamas is not because they oppose terrorism but because they want to erase their own complicity in the genocide. If the victims are “responsible for empowering Hamas” then what are you responsible for?
