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.

I am in search of an Uzbek writer for a project. If you are aware of one that is particularly good, please let me know! I'm casting a wide net—or at least as wide a net as one can cast in the world of Uzbek literature

Look, my feeling is AI is extremely competent and we mistake its competence for sentience (or consciousness, subjectivity) because we’ve made ourselves less competent and, in a way, simultaneously less sentient, having flooded our consciousness with slop. Our admiration for it grows to fill that gap

this is actually a GREAT distinction to make in talking with people (like my students in my class!) about how moral panics work
It should be illuminating that prosecuting sex trafficking, the thing that prosecutors and police across the country have been using as a cash cow to fund surveillance and weaponry, is actually not something government prosecutors care about at all.
The system does not hold people accountable.

"Here, finally, is a worthy use of the NIMBY impulse that is so easy to activate for worse reasons." Friends, you can use that. I highly recommend going full Karen for the right reasons.
When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.

i mean, they’re going to have to retrain and change careers, like all of the other people in deskilled professions have to and have had to. that is what is going to happen.
Now with more than 300 reporters on the job market, adding to hundreds already looking for replacement jobs, the question is: Where do the journalists go? No one seems to have the answer. mirandacgreen.substack.com/p/where-do-t...

How did this happen? And how did this happen so secretly and swiftly? In docs viewed by WIRED, DHS asked GSA explicitly to disregard usual government lease procurement procedures, and even hide lease listings due to “national security concerns.”
