They girlboss yassified Gilded Age space tourism.

It's not a "crew." These people are not astronauts, they are passengers. This is not feminism. This is not anywhere in the neighborhood of feminism.

This is the glossy capitalist influencer ripoff known as "empowerment" and it's just gross!

"Cruelty is the central tenet of right wing ideology. It is at the heart of everything they do. They are now quite willing to lose money or their lives in order to make the world a crueller place, and AI is a part of this"

The Trump regime’s secret police continue to kidnap people across the US. Here they kidnapped a PHD Student Rumeysa Ozturk in broad daylight for publishing an article last year, critical of Israel’s war crimes in Gaza.

People across the US have reportedly been tortured by the regime.

Ahead of Germany’s election, with anti-immigrant sentiment rising, they released viral videos showing life without immigrants.

History proves that when a country starts erasing certain people, it doesn’t end well.

The Skynet fear will not come as robotic skeletons with millitary grade weapons.
My latest: Generative AI is enabling a brute force attack against the algorithms that control reality. AI slop is taking over every algorithmically controlled social media platform and search platform, and the tech platforms are helping:

this sort of "language use" is what the "AI is amazing" crowd would point out as evidence of "AI creativity"
The new OpenAI creative writing bot's "short story" has the phrase "democracy of ghosts". It's the sort of phrase that would make me stop and admire it, if I were reading a human author - which, it turns out, I was, because it's from Nabokov's 1957 novel "Pnin".
