Trump does not want us to regulate AI because AI is a tool of fascism. AI is perfect for making people turn off their brains and trust the machine that lies.
BREAKING: Trump says he will sign an executive order this week that will limit states’ ability to regulate AI.

99% of my physical mail is junk. 99% of my email is junk. 99% of my voicemail is junk. I'm losing touch with people because they're lost in a sea of spam. I'm losing my mind. I was not made for this world. I don't think anybody was made for this, even the people who made it this way.

"By teaching people to 'be grateful' for injustice or minimal provision, society trains obedience under the guise of virtue.[...] In such cases, thankfulness isn’t just a moral exercise—it’s a mechanism to normalize inequity."
The Dark Side of Gratitude: When Thankfulness Becomes a Tool of Control | Common Dreams
Gratitude is celebrated as a virtue, but coerced thankfulness can reinforce inequality, stifle emotions, and keep us complacent.

"But it's gonna create jobs!" These data centers are run by skeleton crews, and AI destroys jobs like I destroy grilled cheese sandwiches. AI is sold to the capitalist class as a way to replace human workers. It is always a net negative on employment.

I've lived with fibromyalgia for the better part of a decade. I know more about it than a random doctor whose medical education touched on it for half an hour 15 years ago. My experience inside my own body provides valuable data that often gets ignored because I'm not a doctor.

This is a huge contributor to why "health"-based pyramid schemes are so abundant. People can't access real medical care whether because of poverty or discrimination, and these MLMs promise solutions to desperate people.
Absolutely this. I'd add that many conspiracy movements focused on women's health exist because the medical establishment has completely failed women. I know so many people whose doctors drove them to strange behavior in desperation.
Please hear me when I say that
1) these anti-medical woo birth movements have been a primary feeder into anti-vaxx eugenic movements
2) they pre-date the age of social media
3) they exist because we have not addressed medical sexism and specifically obstetric violence

If one more able bodied person attempts to tell me, a disabled artist, that genAI is an accessibility tool, I'm gonna start smashing their hands with hammers. You wanna speak about disability issues, fine, you get to become one of us.
