If you are a cis person please take 2 minutes to do this. Trans people with non-updated gender markers, historical gender marker changes, and X markers are terrified to travel right now; rolling back this policy would mean a lot.

Ding ding ding! Watch this. He’s laying it out. My team at Stanford Internet Observatory documented this process meticulously, over & over again, in 2020. The R machine retaliated against us. When Elon bought X, it became even sharper. The rest of the political spectrum needs to get in the game.

So one of the things that I think is lost on AI proponents is what I call the card catalog effect, a thing I shouldn’t call it because a lot of people probably have no experience with a card catalog.

As someone who has reported on AI for 7 years and covered China tech as well, I think the biggest lesson to be drawn from DeepSeek is the huge cracks it illustrates with the current dominant paradigm of AI development. A long thread. 1/

“Ross told Hell Gate that in his more than 30 years at NYU, he had "never seen this level of repression." He pointed out that student activists had often protested at the Bobst Library because the building also houses the offices of senior school administrators, including the president.”

I would like to remind everyone that Sesame Street has been mocking Donald Trump since the 1980s with a character depicted as a villainous, trash-loving real estate developer. An earlier version was played by Joe Pesci, but he’s also been parodied as a muppet with orange hair.

How is there is so much reporting on the summer heat waves and the cost of AC etc etc without any mention of climate change or call to address it. It’s so insanely passive.

Google’s emissions are up 48% in 5 years. Microsoft’s are up 30% since 2020. Those soaring figures are being driven by mass investments in data centers to power AI tools. Generative AI is a climate disaster and data center expansion must be stopped.

Every time I read articles about extremely wealthy people/companies engaging in unethical behavior to become even more wealthy, I think about this excerpt from the book the psychology of money. The endless quest for more is so damaging, especially when pursed by those who already have enough.
