LLM use is growing across activist orgs. Organizers, be careful in replacing your expression with a tool. Information is not all we share in our words. AI generated content is disconnection at its core, harming unity & compassion. Or as AI would say, this isn't about governance, it's about survival.

Hippies hallucinate. Computers make errors. Instead of saying "AI hallucinates" you can just call it errors or mistakes. It's straight forward, easier for the public to understand, pushes back on AI marketing, and does not contribute to the mesmerism that the computer is thinking like a human.

On new age tiktok people are channeling aliens & speaking in interplanetary tongues. I think it is similar to when AI researchers and the public humanize AI. Some are scams but most are delusions & self reflection is hard when status & $ incentivize one to maintain the delusion.

I made the character for my public education www.artificiallifecoach.com because how large + dangerous the market is for models as therapists. When people search for AI coaching I wanted critical messaging to show up on how these tools fail the public and should not be used.

Generative AI is a reductive media, and foundationally so through training not only in its ecology, this does not seem escapable only breakable.

Dis*nfo scholars: Are there studies comparing how different types of misinfo erode public trust ? I'd guess antivax disinfo is the best for that? Is it perhaps the best cost value for eroding institutional trust?

Today was the first day I really felt like “oh, this is how we win.” Should’ve been obvious. It’s not from investor money. It’s not from PR. It’s not sneakdissing other projects. It’s relationships. It’s community. Lots of folks pouring love (and money) into a community initiative. Reciprocity.

Just listened to this, asking how Anishinaabe ways of knowing counter fascism, water as solidarity, + black radical thinking linked with indigenous knowledge. I've been thinking a lot about water in the traditional kanaka maoli political economy and it fits well as a foil for authoritarianism.

"The dream that AI could teach students effectively neglects the importance of ‘learning how’ in order to ‘learn that’, that teachers are also role models, and the social nature of education," write Robert Sparrow and Gene Flenady.

Consolidating data doesn't apply to only "immigrants" but to every single person in the data which is everyone in the US, including all who have spoken up about freeing Palestine, all trans people, all activists, opposition, & all journalists. Who won't be criminalized for deportation to gulags?

To give context to this post, I was worried about consolidation of all the data Doge already has & assuming Twitter data joins it secretly or publicly. & we can now see more clearly what will be done with this data. Surveillance is not an end to itself but the means to silencing opposition.

Every paper I've read that on how a language model "thinks" breaks my brain in frustration on how a team of educated people do not notice how they are writing about their own work in leaps of faith, citing each other. EA funding has done a great disservice to research across tech companies.

Too many artists are unintentionally co-creating the culture necessary for fascist tech oligarchy. If our love for new tools: blockchain, VR/AR & AI is not matched by education on how white supremacy, eugenics, and oppression are entwined w this tech, our imagination becomes their servant.

Manufacturing is such a weird and wonderful how things are made world and this is a super true thing I run into all the time as a maker. It is always: wait what do you mean no one can make this specific rubber glove or door hinge anymore? Why can't they make another machine? What? No one can? Wild!
