Nothing more dangerous than a wounded animal boxed into a corner.

@evan I mean, I feel that it pales in comparison to the danger to the Venezuelan people, the murders the US committed, and the kidnapping of a foreign head of state.

”[T]he things I experienced have made me even more convinced of the resilience of the Cuban people, and the capacity of the systems they have built to survive in the face of genocidal US policies.”

I hate that tech bros have co-opted revolutionary language.

It’s like they took all they learned from Ayn Rand and tried to fuse it with Kwame Ture.

I don’t like sounding like a corporate apologist, but sometimes people don’t look at the full picture.

They don’t understand how systems are intrinsically linked and how that shapes policy.

They refuse to see the human element behind decisions that are being made to solve a problem that was created by people who don’t have to face the destruction they bring upon the working class.

Until we deal with the rot festering at the top, we will continue to have to deal with the enshitification.

If fascists can weaponize landmark legislation meant to foster equality, imagine what twisted perversions they come up with next...

Unless we stop them!

@evan If we could do that, then we could actually do a general strike.

I keep forgetting to mention that it’s Autism Acceptance Month this month!

And y’all better accept us, or else!

Didn't another company say its "product" was "for entertainment purposes only"?

@cwebber But is it that, though?

Or are people still looking at it from a reactionary point of view?

Are people using this technology in ways that it shouldn’t have been intended because it was sold to them by people who wanted to maximize profit by any means necessary.

This is like saying that HTML is the devel because Palantir uses it to code their websites.

It’s like saying the compass is evil because that’s how the slave ships navigated the Atlantic Ocean.

It's no coincidence that the U.S., Israel and Argentina, as three entirely repressive regimes, have voted against condemning the trafficking of enslaved Africans and acknowledging the lasting impacts of slavery –– and that every country responsible for the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade has abstained from the vote entirely.

I just thought about something on my way home from work today.

As someone who isn't really an AI bro, I think a lot of the hate towards AI is the fact that white people finally had something of theirs stolen and they got pissed about it.

For centuries colonized folks have had their cultures pillaged and commodified by white people and nobody really cared.

But once white folks art got stolen (essentially all of Western works), then people started to say something...

In pure capitalist fashion, once a group of people start to unionize, a company automagically discovers automation.
