Oh cool, indentured servitude. Legally recognised throughout the democratic world as a form of unfree labour aka slavery. Also literally how the people traffickers that this legislation is supposedly meant to stop imprison their victims.
Watching the Mahmood announcement and debate. Tory backbencher (Karen Bradley) suggests putting refugees into debt and making them repay during the rest of their lives. Mahmood says she’ll think about it.

Show me a humanitarian Middle Eastern leader to do business with. I'll wait.
Syria is ruled by an ex-ISIS guy. Iran has the mullahs; Afghanistan the Talibs. The Gulf States are under petro-feudals using unfree South Asian labor. Various dictators in other places. Saudi Arabia is just another one.

❓How did the Ottoman state organize unfree labor - among others: captives, enslaved people, and convicts - to power its early modern navy?
I explore this question in my “Between Two Spaces: Enslavement and Labor in the Early Modern Ottoman Navy.” 1/2

A cover of a book about the 1989 revolutions, through the photographs of Jan Šibík. This woman was part of the student protests during the Velvet Revolution that freed many of us in (then) Czechoslovakia, while others remained unfree. What a memento

“Neoliberalism” is neither new nor liberal,
Transphobic “feminism” supports patriarchy,
“Centrism” is far right,
“Freeports” are unfree,
A “ceasefire” doesn’t end the genocide,
“Reform” deforms and destroys,
“Stop the boats” means racism and appeasement of fascists…

I like to think none of them were sexually enslaved or brainwashed. They simply voluntarily decided to reorganise as sex traffickers, and their unfree labour also mediates a profitable sideline in sales of badge engineered power tools. The “Brainwashing” is unrelated.

The saddest thing is that these people are being horrible to other people about things that will never ever make them happy. They all suffer from the void in the soul disease of more: more wealth, more power, more hate. It’ll never enough. They’re the most unfree & unhappy people. They need help.

the obvious problem greedy administrators never seem to deal with is that llms and generative models cannot be equitable: they rely on some people living in misery, in deeply polluted areas; they rely on a class of immiserated workers to pick data; they create unfree people among their users
Penn’s “Grad School of Education has won $1M to train teachers + administrators in PA, NJ, + DE on how to best integrate AI into their schools. The new grant [was] awarded by Google’s philanthropic arm… ‘We are hlpg to shape a future where AI enhances lrng + promotes equity in every classroom.’” 😬
More AI training is coming for Pa. N.J. and Del. schools, thanks to a $1M grant Penn got from Google
Penn is already piloting a "Pioneering AI in School Systems" program in Philadelphia. Five more school systems across the region will be chosen to get the program for free.
