"Resisting AI means rejecting its consequences, such as the resurgence of eugenics through welfare and healthcare systems. It also means rejecting the conditions that allow AI to become so important and influential, like our growth-obsessed, centralized political economies. "

Google quietly converting our genetic code into Predictive Capital https://deepmind.google/discover/blog/alphagenome-ai-for-better-understanding-the-genome/

Seems a second edition of my book with some updates might be in order quite soon.

AlphaGenome: AI for better understanding the genome

Introducing a new, unifying DNA sequence model that advances regulatory variant-effect prediction and promises to shed new light on genome function — now available via API.

Skopje Pride participants demand ‘death to fascism, freedom to the people’

The Skopje Pride parade took place in the North Macedonian capital on June 21 under the slogan “We stand. We persist. Together!”

I wrote a book. It’s free to read on @creativeapps. If you’re interested in why it’s useful to view AI through critiques of Capital from Marx, to Baudrillard, Berardi, and Fisher, then please consider adding it to your summer reading list. https://www.creativeapplications.net/theory/predictive-capital/
Predictive Capital – Roads to terminal alienation, soil to server farm, reason to vibe

So-called ‘AI’ —more accurately: Predictive Capital— is the latest instrument in Capital’s apparatus of alienation. It steals our work, simulates our labour, reanimates our expression, autocompletes our thought, then pronounces us dead.

How NDAs Became the AI Industry’s Tool for Surveillance and Silence | TechPolicy.Press

Nandita Shivakuma and Shikha Silliman Bhattacharjee discuss the hidden labor supporting AI development and how NDAs silence these workers.

I'm in The Times Magazine today. 2000 words of my writing (an adapted excerpt from my book 'Drystone - A Life Rebuilt')

And it's not really about living with my ex husbands. It's about the roles women are handed and how I just absolutely refuse!

This cartoon needs to be aired again...
Note that the Neural Nonstationality —the fact that the neuronal networks in our brains are far from static— means that frequent recalibration of the next-intention prediction engine will be required, making continuous surveillance and updates imperative - a horrific subscription model awaits any mass market version of this tech.
@troy_s yup and for Neuralink victims their fate is exactly that - merging with the bullshit generators - next-intention prediction engines soon interfaced directly into next-token prediction engines, converting flesh to predictive capital.
