Exasperatingly frequently necessary reminder that the weaponization of ableism and fatphobia and homophobia and transphobia against your political enemies still works to NORMALIZE those things, thus SYSTEMICALLY HARMING your supposed allies.

Well holy fucking shit. Ring cancelled their partnership with Flock. Keep pressure on them to stop volunteering their feeds to state, local, and federal agencies, though, because that part's still going.

-The long awaited (much warned about) intro of “AI” recognition. It starts w/ searching for a “brown dog” but means the tech is there for lisence plate reading, face recognition, searching for suspects by description, etc

Each data center can “drink” as much as an entire community. Yet Texas does not require data center operators to disclose projected water use or report actual consumption. This makes research difficult and limits visibility for water-stressed municipalities.

I actually agree that there is going to be a skill gap between people who regularly use AI vs those who refuse to use it, and it's that after the bubble pops the refusers will be fine while the AI-dependent will be missing or have let atrophy basic skills

All of this discourse about being “left behind” by “innovation” as some reason for us to go along with big tech despite ethical concerns has got to end. I have zero tolerance for it.

THIS. And we’re going to lose all the more mature work these artists would have made once they cut their teeth making X.
We are going to miss out on so much great art because of AI. People have ideas for X—a song, a comic, etc.—and they use AI because “I can’t play/draw. If it weren’t for AI it would never get made” BUT THAT ISNT TRUE. There is such joy in art that is made by beginners who just needed to make X
