“I am not interested, nor will I ever be interested. I'm 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak. ... The other day, somebody wrote me an email, said, ‘What is your stance on AI?’ And my answer was very short. I said, ‘I'd rather die.’” 🫡

Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro says 'I'd rather die' than use generative AI

Del Toro's new Frankenstein adaption reimagines Mary Shelley's 1818 Gothic novel. Frankenstein was like a tech bro: "creating something without considering the consequences," he explains.

When Tish James walks into a courthouse tomorrow — the target of a political prosecution demanded by a President obsessed with revenge — she does not walk in alone.

Donald Trump's wildly inappropriate reaction to this (quite impressive) piece of Reaganite advertising ought to cause so many people to view the ad he doesn't want them to see that we'll have to rename the Streisand Effect the Ontario Effect.

The fascinating thing about the US is that policy has become unprecedentedly incompetent and incredibly *porous*. Trump has no external guardrails, no emotional or cognitive ones, watches a lot of TV and reacts by posting decrees from the couch.

"It was not immediately clear whether a major federal immigration operation, which the Chronicle first reported Wednesday, would proceed, or whether federal agents will be deployed in Bay Area cities other than San Francisco."

Trump calls off planned federal ‘surge’ in S.F. but plans for Bay Area immigration crackdown unclear

President Donald Trump said Thursday that he called off the planned federal deployment to the city after speaking with Mayor Daniel Lurie.

This also reveals the lie at the core of this fascist takeover of our cities. If there were actually hordes of dangerous immigrants terrorizing cities, not only would Tech Bros be asking Trump to invade, Trump and his goons would insist on the invasion to “protect us”

It’s all a lie.

Perfect metaphor.

A tweet from Elizabeth Warren says: “This is Trump’s presidency in a single photo: Illegal, destructive, and not helping you.” The image shows construction and demolition work at the White House, with a Volvo excavator tearing down part of a wing as workers stand nearby behind a fenced-off area.

Voting YES on Prop 50 is the best way we can stand up to Donald Trump and put a check on his abuse of power. Return your ballot today! www.sos.ca.gov/elections/up...
