Generative AI is a predator, an existential risk to art careers. While I'm confident many artists will figure out a way forward, many kind and talented people will be left by the wayside if we continue to normalize corporate exploitation in this field. Article in next post 👇

Tel Aviv University invites students to come volunteer on an IOF base, packaging combat rations for the soldiers committing genocide on the front lines. Now would be a good time for all global institutions to start boycotting Israeli academia - it is fully complicit in genocide.

yes, I also emphasised how these technologies inherently infringe on fundamental rights, rights to freedom of expression/movement, and fuel genocide
During #CoE_WFD Talk 3 Abeba Birhane emphasized that #AI has the potential to cause catastrophic impacts and argued that regulation is crucial to ensure that harmful AI systems are thoroughly tested before being released, thereby protecting #HumanRights.

great to be part of this important conversation on AI & democracy at the Council of Europe in Strasbourg & tomorrow I'll address the Council on pervasive data harvesting practice & its insidious impact on freedom of speech/movement using IDF's "Lavander" as an extreme example
"We all want #AI to benefit society but there is a massive gap between wanting that and what happens on the ground [...] impact of technologies is not new, but what we tend to forget is that [...] these technologies harm the most #DisadvantagedMinorities" - @Abebab. #CoE_WFD

Damn I have never considered Americans are not aware there are female presidents outside of their country… ???
If Kamala win, do you know how the world gon treat us because she’s a woman? They’re not going to address her as a leader.

i can guarantee that no bluesky team members will be sitting with a presidential candidate tonight and giving them direct access to control what you see online
Elon Musk plans to spend election night with Donald Trump, giving the former president direct access to the person controlling X, a key information platform, on what could be a chaotic evening.

The map of US counterterrorism operations is also the map of extraction and exploitation.
The U.S. government conducted counterterrorism operations in 78 countries between 2021 and 2023. The post-9/11 wars continue. https://t.co/fGkGbrg0Fh
