i just think if you're biggest critique of AI is about copyright you're telling on yourself.
AI surveillance could end human liberty as we know it
AI decision making threatens permanently bake systemic racism & patriarchy into every aspect of society
"you stole my song" is just... idgaf man

Seems so long ago now but there was a while where most tech luminaries were just sorta awkward weirdos and not full-bore Bond villains.

Trans youth deserve to live free of fear and bullying, especially from the President.

Two screenshots, one from the Holocaust Encyclopedia, the other from Erin In the Morning.
The first: On October 5, 1938, the Reich Ministry of the Interior invalidates all German passports held by Jews. Jews must surrender their old passports, which will become valid only after the letter "J" has been stamped on them.
The second, published on February 26, 2026: “Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediately Surrender Of Drivers Licenses”. Subtitle: “The legislature did not include a grace period."
History often rhymes with itself.

Girls hockey is also quite toxic, it's a whole thing with hockey. It's our sport, but we ignore a lot as part of that (parents and coaches especially)

Open Source AI and the Two Contracts
The language of openness is everywhere in AI right now. As someone who has spent a long time in open source, open education, open government, and open data, it is increasingly noticeable that the word...
Not sure if I'm getting this right yet, but it does seem like a rupture is imminent for #opensource and focusing on the human contract over profit/ power is going to be (never more) important. Holding a call to talk about that March 13 (linked at bottom)

We need more critique like this:"He uses a so-called “#opensource LLM” & that’s very much how he presents his values but OSS LLMs do not really exist. You can download some weights but cannot understand what went into them or really change or reproduce.. OSS AI is just marketing & openwashing"

As the industry grows and the federal government goes “all-in,” it’s increasingly important to adopt a policy framework that will protect Canadians
