there are TONS of folks in science that talk about ai as a positive resource - and i believe them - but venture capitalists & techbros are trying their best to force casual users to validate their snake oil: they might only lose money, but it's destroying quality of life for many of us.

it breaks my heart that so many of us use this junk. i understand the attraction to turn a cheesy meme into easy graphics but billionaires are targeting our neighborhoods to build their Giant Resource Killer - using it is akin to voting against our needs.

Historian of eugenics here. I don't normally like to retweet bad arguments, but this is such a fundamental misunderstanding of eugenics, I think it's important to point out. I don't have time to debunk all of the ways this is inaccurate, but I'll highlight a few things and then recommend some books🧵

I've been closely covering the USIP situation since March and am currently in the midst of a lawsuit for body cam footage of the raid.
NEW — I'm suing DC Metro Police for the full body cam footage from the DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace back in March.
The public deserves to know why MPD chose to sell out the people they’re tasked with protecting in order to bend to Trump's will. I'm repped pro bono by @rcfp.org.

Imagine being a career officer in the chain of command on Trump's boat bombings. You have deep moral and legal concerns about them. Your faith in leadership is shaky. Then you see Pete Hegseth tweet out a sadistic cartoon about it. Must be awful.
