Looking forward to seeing everyone out there for tomorrow’s May Day protest!

We know the protests have been coming fast, but that’s because things in the U.S. are getting worse, and protests show the strength of our movement.

Pentagon to resume medical care for transgender troops
The move is another setback for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who has made culture war issues a major part of his role.

ICE is detaining international students, visa holders, and green card residents over their First Amendment-protected speech. If you’re in a state with a Democratic attorney general, urge them to push back on Trump’s destruction of due process & protect the right to dissent: bluestatedefiance.org/ice

Very good (technical) explainer answering "How has DeepSeek improved the Transformer architecture?". Aimed at readers already familiar with Transformers.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

What if, and like hear me out right, universities *didn’t* run like businesses which need to turn a profit.

"At some point, OpenAI will charge their actual costs" is a pretty good reason why educators and school administrators should refuse to institutionalize OpenAI's tools and the ed-tech products that use OpenAI - and other generative AI too!
The AI boom - and the tech industry - has oriented itself around generative AI, a tech with diminishing returns that costs billions to run with no path to profitability. At some point, OpenAI will charge their actual costs and gut this entire industry.

All countries should get behind this. It's not just some small artist, it's everyone. Your culture, data, everything. Big tech thinks they deserve everything for free and keep all the profit.
Stop this now. #AI #meta #amazone #google
