The fact that they get to participate in the first place says everything it needs to about the double standards the Olympics and world competitions have for Israel and the United States versus everyone else.
Israel gets booed at the opening ceremony of the Milano-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics. Presenter makes note of it, too, says it's the first time they've heard booing all night.

Don't love the wording of this - it feels a bit like saying ChatGPT is down, forcing news writers to take a long coffee break.
It is a sign of things to come, though, if we don't change course: power and reliance on fewer and fewer superwealthy companies, that can squeeze you for all you have.

Something I've been thinking about since the AI hype started is that the inevitable end game here is that human interaction will only be for people who can afford to pay for it. This isn't accessibility, it's automated inequity

fwiw I don't think it is possible to build genAI in such a way that it benefits workers rather than capital because it is fundamentally based on non consensual extraction of labour to get going. what would it actually mean for the workers to own the means of production here

For all the fearmongering about capital flight from New York City, there’s an exodus few want to talk about: working people.
Sky-high rents and outrageous child care costs are already pushing families out of the city they keep running.
That’s what we have to change.
