It's worth patiently and persistently pushing back against AI hype in your worksplace to try and counter the bubble evangelists
- Generative AI can't do facts
- Generative AI can't reason
- Unless a model tells us what it's trained on, we should assume it's participated in the largest copyright theft in history
- No incremental improves are going to change this

“Your friendly reminder that Zionists have been stealing and appropriating Palestinian history since before the Nakba. Memoricide is real and there is a reason why Zionists destroyed tens of thousands of Palestinian books and historical records and hid others behind closed doors.”

“It’s comically difficult” to turn off your new car’s data collection, EFF’s @Thorin told Sherwood News. “I do this for a living and I am not 100% positive I have gotten everything correct, which is ridiculous.” https://sherwood.news/tech/how-to-opt-out-of-the-privacy-nightmare-that-comes-factory-installed-in-new/

Brilliant response. With just the right amount of sarcasm which I love.

My favourite #MetGala recap:

Incredible. Read the text of the ceasefire agreement.

The ceasefire mandated release of ALL Israeli hostages, a permanent & indefinite ceasefire—meaning Hamas could never offensively take up arms against Israel again—and Qatar, Egypt, USA, & the UN serving as Guarantors.

Israel still said no.😐
