Someone told me I shouldn’t help spread pictures of the Cornell 7 guys, because it might destroy their lives. Sweetie, that’s what I’m counting on.

So if I purchase a DVD and digitize it, that’s copyright infringement. But if an AI company buys my book and scans it to train their system, that’s perfectly fine? Once again, corporations are allowed to play by their own rules. I’m so sick of the hypocrisy.

I saw a post on Reddit that said that “The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.” And I don’t think I’ve ever seen AI described so incisively.

When men say rape culture doesn’t exist, show them this video. When someone shouts “not all men”, show them this video. If we were truly interested in protecting women and girls, this man would be fired for saying stuff like this. He’s celebrating rape.
Watters: Women on base, you better be careful. Port calls, women in Asia, you better be careful. Because these guys are going to be wild animals and you better watch out.

A public school basketball coach made students fill out a Christian journal... and punished them with extra laps if they didn't. He only stopped after an atheist group stepped in. This is what religious coercion looks like. friendlyatheist.com/p/califo…

"Just say no" "Just fight back" "Close your legs" Are you seeing those scratch marks?
North Georgia detention officer arrested on rape charges and police say the scratch marks you see in his mug shot are from the victim fighting back.

Coincidences are the fuel of UFOlogy. Sometimes, inevitably, someone beats the odds and picks the winning lottery numbers. Sometimes a couple of birds or bugs cross the camera at just the right moment. That’s what makes many UFOs. Coincidences. Inevitable coincidences.
Some people think this video shows an alien UFO instantaneously changing shape while performing a physics-defying 90 degree turn. But it's actually 2 different objects crossing paths.

Abortion bans ARE NOT about saving babies. Abortion bans are about the destruction of women’s rights and women’s autonomy. They are about controlling women.

Breaking: Lindsey Graham is dead at 71 after a brief and sudden illness. He spent the final years of his life advocating for war, genocide, and dropping a nuclear bomb on the Palestinian people. Good riddance. The world is a better and safer place without this lunatic in it.

To recap, AI - Invades our privacy - Makes us dumber - Makes it harder to tell what’s real and what’s not - Weakens data security - Entrenches racial and bias in algorithms which affect hiring, policing and even prices - Results in higher utility costs - Leads to data centers poisoning water and emitting nonstop noise - Enhances and increases cybercrimes - Enables deepfakes damaging social trust - Increases issues involving addiction and mental health disorders - Adds to social isolation - Makes all electronic devices more expensive for consumers - Normalizes the theft of intellectual property - Puts people out of work and - Was used to wipe out social safety nets without oversight But, on the plus side: - Makes shareholders and billionaires richer
