Do you feel like this summer has brought just unending terrible ideas for how to use “AI”? You’re not alone! Join me and @alex as we attempt to clear out the backlog of Fresh AI Hell on the next Mystery AI Hype Theater 3000 live stream:

The risk is clear: Without strong privacy protections in the #UNCybercrimeTreaty, we face increased government overreach, unchecked surveillance, and transnational repression. Countries must stand firm: defeat the treaty or limit its scope.
@LALegault Yes, there are some spineless people on the left, but you want to stop #project2025 because EVERYONE will suffer. The next Republican President will:
* Defund NOA weather and hurricane monitoring.
* Eliminate FEMA disaster relief
* Criminalizes trans people (and porn)
* Defund Social Security
* Eliminate and defund EPA
* National ban on Abortion
* Eliminate almost all veteran programs
* Privatize the public schools
* Immediate mass deportation of all undocumented (15 million)
Secret service did allow weapons on Jan 6th, they reported seeing weapons, made no arrest and they coordinated with Oath Keepers and Roger stone to give them golf carts to drive to the capitol during the insurrection.

What a difference an inch makes
Aan de hippe #controlearts (ex-intesivist) van #Helan (Wilrijk), die
1. Geen enkele diagnostische handeling stelde
2. Geen contact nam met de artsen die dat wel werk leverden
3. Geen probleem heeft om publieke middelen op te strijken
en
mijn godin bedacht op #agism & #seksisme:
May your shit comes to live & bite you in the nose, redundant asshole🖕

De schaamteloosheid….
De zopas voor (het aanzetten tot) racisme en negationisme veroordeelde Dries Van Langenhove staat niet alleen. Al in 2019 legde Apache het duistere netwerk achter de 'eindbaas' van Schild & Vrienden bloot.

Antifascista Siempre: **Schild & Vrienden: Het Vonnis Letterlijk**
"De correctionele rechtbank in Gent heeft zich vandaag, 12 maart 2024, in een 62 bladzijden tellend vonnis uitgesproken in de zaak tegen Dries Van Langenhove en zes andere leden van Schild & Vrienden.

I raise these and other questions in a keynote 'the genesis of generative grace' for #drupalcamp #sociology

@thebandb ik herinner me mijn studententijd… en ik heb mijn bedenkingen 😎
We value @davidthewid, Sarah Mayers West's, and @Mer__edith's thorough criticism of “open” in the context of #AI. To discuss the issues presented in their paper & explore possible solutions, we talked to them at our monthly community call 👉 https://openfuture.eu/blog/ai-and-the-commons-the-paradox-of-open-for-business/ #DigitalPublicInfrastructure
