People really, really need to start paying attention to how bad it is here. This affects policy in everything, including #climate

You should go to Saturday's No Kings protest (2PM, Boston Common). Why? To pressure MA state officials, who are still doing far too little to stop ICE, and in some cases actively cooperating with ICE. letschangecambridge.us/articles/why... #CambridgeMA #Boston #mapoli

Anyone who's following surveillance tech and policing in #MApoli might want to read this banger of a memo from Digital Fourth to the #SomervilleMA city council this week.

No idea who writes this MA blog, but the phrasing is incredible. Chefkiss. 11/10, no notes:

"The Massachusetts State Legislature, a body that once took fourteen months to decide whether to rename a rest stop, announced this week that it is fully prepared to regulate artificial intelligence, a technology that evolves faster than a state senator can Google 'what is artificial intelligence' and click 'I’m Feeling Lucky.'"

State That Cannot Fill a Pothole in Under Nine Months Confident It Can Regulate Artificial Intelligence

Senate Committee on Ways and Means receives two AI bills mid-February, schedules hearing for sometime after the sun explodes; Billerica man’s AI attack ad somehow the most honest thing in Massachusett

Let's Not Make This Political

Okay, Beacon Hill. You know election season is here. Some top concerns we have:

CLIMATE

The threat of AI as it's currently (not) defined. (Energy, water cost. Personal data rights...)

Car dependency. We want the freedom to get places without being forced to insure, own, maintain a giant box on wheels.

Housing. Too little. NO to hedge fund, private equity ownership

A secretive State gov that specifically *helps* ICE kidnap our family, colleagues and neighbors 😡
