One of the biggest obstacles I face in my fight against the scourges that are generative AI, Big Tech and other fascist-leaning clankers, is that most people aren’t aware of all the critical literatur...

Hear ye, hear ye!
I have updated the mediagraphy for critical tech and "AI" sources. I'm not finished, but I'm on vacation with my family so I will pick up the slack next week. Stay tuned, much more is coming!
If you have suggestions, don't hesitate to send me a missive.

This is why I hate "just a tool" so so so much.
You can make a calculator without access to every calculation. You can make photoshop without access to all photos.
Someone show me a genai tool that didn't require all of our labour in its production. It's plagiarism software.

AI note-taking apps are not ready for prime time and, as @ntusikov.bsky.social argues here, the response from Canadian regulators has been severely lacking. Both the doctors who use it and the companies that supply it should be wholly liable for any and all errors it produces.

I do think normalcy bias a big part of why Serious People have refused to engage with the topic for so long. Lots of hoping that "if we ignore it, maybe it'll go away." And here we are, living under the stupidest possible of technofascism.

Just absolutely wild to see so many people discovering the massive influence of the rationalists in real time and say things like "I wish I could unlearn what I've learned in the last 24 hours."
I, and others, have been researching these people for YEARS.

I cannot stress to you enough how these people are in a death cult.
As I warned you: the superstar media darling AI quitter is explicitly agreeing with Trump and claiming climate threats are "overplayed".
Effective altruism / rationalism is a cult of broken priorities that denies the threat of fossil fuels. This is why Anthropic loves burning gas for power.
