A super-militarized ICE is getting more and more violent. After assaulting a musician playing the theme from “Ghostbusters”, ICE took her out of Oregon, to Washington state, where she remains in jail. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/crime/portland-ice-clarinet-arrested-protest-b2845329.html 1/
Musician playing ‘Ghostbusters’ outside ICE facility is arrested by agents: ‘Why are they targeting a clarinetist?’

‘Taking us citizens out of state to detain them without charge is a new action from the Feds and should be opposed,’ her band said

As Peter Lewis argues:

'If AI products were a car or a new medicine, the impact would be tested & modelled before it was let loose on the community. But simply by being new, Big Tech seeks a free pass based on a trust that it hasn’t earned'!

Exactly; we've were warned that Big Tech will 'move fast & break things' but we shouldn't acquiesce with their toddler mentality; its time to resist the deployment of more socially divisive wrecking technologies!

Big Tech deploys Orwellian doublespeak to mask its democratic corrosion

As AI asserts its power to shape social evolution, regulation is decried as ‘state control’ rather than the expression of our collective will

When states/countries enact laws banning porn, people are always tempted to come up with creative, edge-case solutions.

“Couldn’t you just mix the porn in with other content so the definition of your site changes?”
“Could you label it as ‘art’?”

I get where you’re coming from but this is not the solution. Porn deserves to exist. Please stop telling adult creators to twist into new positions and jump through hoops: fight the laws. Unpack your shame and speak up: porn is not harmful.
