i'm not saying we shouldn't talk about all the ways in which AI fails in the market. it just seems like we've clearly gone way past that point and we should think about what it will look like when a failed project has already been internalized by an empire or an oppressive settler colonial project

States welcoming Trump's plan for 🇵🇸 are destroying the remaining of the "liberal/rule of law world order" facade. These decisions-if we're to believe in this order-must be openly deliberated in int'l fora. Stripping Palestinian's right to self-determination legitimises fascism.

Getting close to 50k views and I'm wondering is it just everybody is scared to say this and pleased I did? Because if there's so many of us who agree, trust me I'd know if 1k people disagreed with me let alone 50k, why are we letting AI ruin our universities?

That’s the key in this vague statement by Microsoft: if you treat a whole population (under illegal occupation) as terrorists (also MSFT basically accepting the false labelling of Palestinians as terrorists), then it’s ok. MSFt directly buys into and legitimises Israel’s apartheid and surveillance

How much more of a live-streamed genocide do we still need to BDS the Zionist state? Brave professional and citizen journalists are getting murdered live streaming their deaths and people still approach this trying to rationalise the genocide. Palestine shows us the way to liberation.
As Israel's war on Gaza continues, Al Jazeera staff members, including correspondent Anas al-Sharif, were killed in a targeted strike on their media tent outside al-Shifa Hospital.
