The Norwegian Nobel Peace Committee will be complicit in manufacturing consent for the violent invasion of Venezuela that seems on the horizon by the US.
Another stain on its reputation. What a joke.

ideally, the only places i want to be in AI are spaces for resistance, refusal and community organising
in reality, i find myself in spaces where AI governance, regulatory or institutional/scientific decisions are made where either i my input is paid lip service or entirely ignored

Saleh Al-jafarawi was just killed, despite a ceasefire, by a militia group affiliated with Israel.
Friends of his are coming out saying he's been a target of this group for a while, and he suspected they would come after him.
Rest in peace, martyr of Palestine. 🇵🇸

As Italy goes on strike, we all stand with Sumud, with humanity, against the g3nocide and corrupt politicians. Together we sail. I know for sure that some heroes definitely like One Piece.
If you want to join the flotilla as a collab, more details in the first comment.

Adara has been intercepted, expecting them to be boarded any moment.
The Adara feed went dark a little while ago, but it's back again.
Listening to Kieran Andrieu on the Adara speak now.
Some of the boats have reported being surrounded by Israeli vessels.
All eyes on the floatilla.

It's obvious that rights are being violated, and it's also obvious that existing enforcement is not preventing these violations: they press onward.

“AI” isn’t a tool or technology or even a cluster of technologies with a misleading name. It’s the infrastructure at the foundation of a form of capitalism dependent on data brokering. We should be teaching our students about this and not teaching them about “responsible” use.
