Bumping this ask — shoot us a DM if you have leads on part time, remote work!

if you see me at circuit breakers say hi

AI, as a political project, is primarily focused on your devaluation. Hope this helps.

"While local resistance to Flock Safety automated license plate readers has swept the nation — including vandalism of cameras, cities canceling contracts, and a recent national week of action organized by the group DeFlock — the Fusus software has continued to spread." truthout.org/articles/as-...

for weird web october i made that rainbow scratch off paper cubegho.st/wwo/2026/scr...

In Lochiel, Arizona, where people have been resisting the construction of the border wall, one brave activist locked down to construction machinery—and Border Patrol drove it away with them locked to it. "We're taking you to the middle of nowhere where no one can hear you scream."

i think The Place Where He Inserted the Blade would go hard at karaoke if people knew it

Once again, your "liberal" publications are the ones that launder eugenics and race science into the mainstream

if you're going to vibe code something i feel like you should at least write about it in your own words. unfortunately nobody seems interested in doing this

too sick for weird web october so far AND processing community day :(

I do think we need a better critical culture around AI just solely because a lot of people are being forced to use it at work and don’t understand how it works. But also, I don’t think people who don’t give a shit need to hear about it from people who love it and think it’s their friend.

I made a gofundme because being homeless is going to kill me. Please spread the word that two of our great living artists are begging for money so they can finally get their lives back. www.gofundme.com/f/help-bache...

does anyone have any insight into the Pacifica Foundation elections. getting confusing emails from like 4 different factions

A systematic, critical understanding of history, especially the long history of technically skilled people either being used by elites or being blinded by their own high modernist ideology to do incredible harm, should in my opinion be a requirement of any technocratic profession

it really is so annoying that doing a basic amount of walking yesterday means no book fair for me today

genocide is not disturbing ‘content’ from which the spectator needs healthy boundaries. these are human beings making claims upon the rest of humanity. turning away may soothe the witness, but it does absolutely nothing for the person who cannot turn away from the bomb.

I want a theory of suffering that says: you are witnessing a genocide and it wounded you because it SHOULD wound you. the answer cannot always be to create enough distance that you can live normally again. sometimes the answer is to let that wound bind you to an obligation to act

It is really funny talking to my colleagues in computational biology who’ve had to rebrand their existing approaches as “Ai” to appease higher level management. Machine learning has been a part of biotech for over a decade and has its uses, LLMs have not really proven themselves.

does anyone have a good article for laypeople explaining why the hugging face thing wasn't "rogue (autonomous) ai"
