This is vile Islamophobia from the Councilwoman and it has no place in our city.

The thing about Noam Chomsky is that he didn't have to comment on the genocides in Bosnia and Kosovo at all. He just did it for the love of the game
He developed a framework about the relationship of expertise to the media during the Vietnam War, and he applies it to literally everything everywhere

people crying over chomsky on this website are repulsive frankly. he was quite plainly a piece of shit long before anything related to epstein came out
fuck right off with this too please.
Chomsky has been quite clear that he doesn’t think his relationship with Epstein is anyone else’s business and we can and should draw adverse inferences from that.
sorry he wrote some things you liked; bold thinkers can be monsters too.

For people who trusted copyright laws to rein in AI, this should be the last scene in Animal Farm. “They looked from IP to Tech, and from Tech to IP, but already it was impossible to say which was which.”
The Walt Disney Company and OpenAI reach landmark agreement to bring beloved characters from across Disney’s brands to Sora
Agreement marks a significant step in setting meaningful standards for responsible AI in entertainment.

Science and technology are not “capitalism.” They are not capitalist “ways of synthesizing information,” except in the sense that they can be useful to capitalism, which is certainly true, but the humanities are also useful to capitalism. You think companies can’t use people who know how to read?

You people have got to stop saying this kind of thing. I’m sorry that 15 years ago a CS professor said something obnoxious in a faculty meeting but the idea that humanities degrees are “not tied to capitalism” while STEM degrees are is some of the purest bullshit I’ve ever seen in my life.

incredibly funny how people will be like "did you see that the census bureau posted a nazi dogwhistle? their last post was 14 words long. and the value of the characters added up to 88" and then the post was "adolf hitler was very very very very very very very very very very good"

i don't actually think you should get a free pass for whatever you want to do with your data center, or using the stuff in it, as long as you can prove that it doesn't use up that much water. that's because every data center can prove that.

the jeff bezos owned washington post is the outlet responsible for making sure the primary complaint about AI was water. this may have been in part because jeff knew it was bullshit, so when amzn gets blowback they can easily prove their water footprint is small

Copyright is a middleman. It says: you get paid if you successfully enforce artificial scarcity on infinitely copyable files. That's a precarious, adversarial way to fund creative work!!! To me, the problem isn't insufficient *ownership*. It's inadequate direct support for creative labour.

Poor BlueSky team. The developer goals are like: "Let's make an open social network with an open API and data interop."
Meanwhile BlueSky's users are like:
"CAN THE FEDS SEE MY BLUESKY POSTS?"
"No brother. We are safe here, the Nazis are on the other site."

you can convincingly portray this whole financialized AI edifice as a mortgage crisis-style house of cards without even mentioning that the fundamental product is unreliable, based on outright theft, and people don’t like it.
