jesse jackson was constantly played as a punchline on 90s late-night TV to the point that i didn't understand his history of activism and serious left-leaning political platform until i was much older. i have to think, to some degree, that was on purpose.

Ramadan is approaching, and Gaza is under bombardment… their childhood is stolen every day.
Instead of playing, they hide from explosions; instead of joy, they feel fear.

I’ve watched a very smart child try to encode what chaptgpt thinks is “human” so that her class assignments don’t get flagged for plagiarism.
I’ve heard expert professionals admit to self-editing so they don’t “sound” like an llm.

The City of Philadelphia really needs to take further steps other than to simply put the exhibit back up. Tie it into some public school curricula, host local conversations, distribute free zines on the topic. Don't just stay at having gone to court.

Urge your reps to ban Surveillance Pricing and boycott any business that uses it. If it’s allowed to take root, you will be robbed for the rest of your lives.
(1/11) If you live in NY, you’ve probably started seeing a new warning: “THIS PRICE WAS SET BY AN ALGORITHM USING YOUR PERSONAL DATA.” This mandatory disclosure went into effect late last year, and it’s the first attempt by a US state to grapple with a new generation of surveillance pricing.

Twentieth-century futurism was largely a project of “don’t worry about the problems of the present. Corporations will build you such a lovely future.”
21st-century futurism has mostly been billionaires and their courtiers whining about the mean environmental movement blocking their cool ideas.
