Or more Marxistly, AI critique reifies a political-economic movement as a technological force. This mystification helps naturalize the disruption of existing labor arrangements while directing critique away from the movement seeking to remake social relations through AI.

Blaming media outlets for this moment is valid. I also know so many journalists of color who tried to bring things up, point things out, report with integrity, and change how communities of color are reported; only to be repeatedly discouraged, dismissed and reprimanded by white editors and managers

PSA to my friends in California near the fires: breathing in wildfire smoke is really bad for you (even if it’s not super thick where you are) but if you have face masks (N95, KN95, etc) those can help a lot
