   I guess I'm on a "women who code" mailing list, and maybe I'm confusing them with some other groups but holy fuck the email I just got from them, shut it the fuck down. You've jumped the goddamn shark, fuck offffffff.
   
   Shilling for "AI leadership", companies that are at the forefront of enabling technological abuse, and "investment options"... 900 fucking dollars for the basic pass?
   
   fuck
   
   you

     AI enabled genocide, AI enabled surveillance in a country where women are being prosecuted for miscarriages, AI enabled "leadership" in a country where massive databases are being built and computational power expanded at the cost of livable communities and the climate, shilling for companies that are not only responsible for all this but also continue to do layoffs that hit women (particularly BIPOC and/or LGBTQ women) extra hard, companies that defended and sheltered executives that sexually harassed people...
     
     what the fuck.

     Such a perfect encapsulation of precisely what is wrong with what passes for the 'left wing' here, where 'equality' isn't about destroying barriers and flattening hierarchies but instead merely letting more groups participate in subjugation.
     
     "Some of our prison guards are women" is not liberatory.
