In short, Hao explained, her book argues that companies like OpenAI are new forms of empire that have amassed considerable economic and political power under the guise that replicating human intelligence will aid humanity. “They are grabbing lands, grabbing data that is not their own,” she said. “They're engaged in extraordinary amounts of labor exploitation, and there's this quasi-religious fervor that is wrapped around the whole pursuit of what they call artificial general intelligence — this theoretical notion that AI could one day match human intelligence.”

TIL the degree of Amy Sherald being a real one. First, her transfem representation is clockable but not cartoonish. Second, she specifically rejected allowing the work to be replaced by a discussion, which would frame trans people as an issue for debate
Detail from *Trans Forming Liberty* by Amy Sherald. Liberty is portayed as a black woman, and her hair and brows are hot pink, with orange eye shadow, purple lip gloss, and a blue striped dress. A strong jaw, the hint of an Adam's apple, and a somewhat angular neck and upper chest are cues that she may have had a testosterone-driven puberty. Sherald told the Times that Bunch suggested that instead of having the painting, there should be a video of people discussing transgender lives, and this ultimately led her to cancel the show. "The video would have opened up for debate the value of trans visibility, and I was opposed to that being a part of the ‘American Sublime’ narrative," she said in her statement.
