In the days after last week's Minneapolis shooting, I've been continually haunted by the shooter's video and the nihilistic contagion that seems to spread in mass shooter fandom communities. I spoke to @alexbnewhouse.bsky.social about how to process this terrible phenomenon w/o helping perpetuate it

The goal of these attacks is to join a lineage of infamous killers.

Still thinking about how the TikTok video that supposedly “inspired” the August 31 March for Australia tucked footage from the 2005 Cronulla race riots in between AI clips of Australian flags. I matched this to ABC footage from the day. The message was there from the start, if you cared to see it.

Relatedly I think journalism could maybe use stronger professional style norms around not anthropomorphizing the computer systems we report on/reference in our writing.
My all-purpose AI reform is banning computers from pretending they are human. Having names, saying "I," pretending to have feelings, representing what they emit as "advice," etc. That's where much of the mischief starts.

The Australian MP Graeme Campbell has died — a mention of him from our book Conspiracy Nation that isn’t in the obituaries so far. Campbell travelled from Labor to Australia First to One Nation.

Some of the names I read for this video:

Yahya Subaih, who tirelessly told the stories of his community, died in an Israeli airstrike.

Ahmed el-Helou of the Quds News Network, killed in an Israeli airstrike.

Hassan Sammour, a broadcaster who worked for Al Aqsa Voice Radio, died the same day.

One of the many devastating things about making this video was that we had to update it about three times during the making to account for further killings of journalists, including (you'll see at the end) a special mention of the 6 Al Jazeera journalists targeted by Israel. Please watch to the end.
