I'm gonna go talk to a homeless services agency now that no one but AI ever told me about, so that they can keep me off the streets.

Y'all can keep arguing amongst yourselves about my genocidal attempts to not get raped again.

No CW. I don't get one whenever someone tells me I should've stayed high and living in a horrible situation where I basically paid rent with sex because "AI BAD." If I don't get one, why do you deserve one?

The disabled homeless person who is just trying to make it is asking.

You want CWs again? CW your shitty, suicide-encouraging, trauma-triggering, ignorant, absurd, melodramatic, inhuman options first. Then we'll talk. 🔥

Until then, it is crucial for your humanity that you understand the consequences of the barriers that you defend.

Please reply telling me how much you enjoy talking over disabled people, and I will gratefully block you.

I have to deal with enough shit from neurotypicals and society while battling homelessness. Go run your toxic purity tests elsewhere. AI is currently saving my life. You are—as you come at me trying to make me feel bad for not giving up—actively working to end it.

Your rage reminds me that the world is cruel and wants me dead. And I refuse to die, no matter how much you try to make me want to kill myself.

Seriously, if this is you, the kindest thing you can do for me is fuck off and let actual humans who care about other humans and not only about virtue signaling have a say.

Motherfucker on Psychology Today literally argues that AI is bad because "before AI, confidence usually carried the weight of effort, and that effort was often a badge of accomplishment."

Conclusion:

Confidence is for non-disabled successful people. AI is bad because it allows disabled people to have confidence and maybe, just maybe, gives them the wherewithal to get out of disability.

Fuck everyone writing about AI right now like they know anything because they clearly know less than nothing about the real world. 😾

John Nosta, if you can see this, literally fuck you, you hack.

While AI tools are becoming more accessible globally, infrastructure remains concentrated in the hands of few tech giants, creating an oligarchic foundation that threatens innovation, competition, and equity. The future depends on collective action and policy decisions.

♿ Accessibility isn’t a checkbox.
It’s a mindset. 🧠

A commitment to design that doesn’t assume, it asks. 🤔
Doesn’t limit, it invites. 🤝

Because when we build with everyone in mind, we build something better for all. 🌍✨

This study found even slightly glitchy (≈ 1s) video calls resulted in statistically significant negative outcomes for callers.

This must be a joke because glitch‑free video calls don't exist. Or is it just me?

A desigualdade digital 2.0 já não é falta de internet — é falta de acesso justo, auditável e transparente à IA.
Sem governança, modelos podem manipular respostas, reforçar vieses e atuar como editores invisíveis da informação pública.
IA precisa ser tratada como questão pública, não só como produto.

>>> Over the past two decades, the #WSISProcess has served as a valuable platform for dialogue, target setting and multistakeholder engagement. Yet the digital divide remains stubbornly entrenched. Connectivity gaps persist between regions and within countries.

At the heart of these challenges lies a common denominator: financing.

This is a fundamental #DigitalEquity issue. I recall the days when the USPS was could have been a bank and ISP. Imagine a public institution dedicated to bridging financial literacy, knowledge, and the digital divide. FYI - We still can do this.
