Increasingly, when I'm faced with one of those website cookies-acceptance forms, I just close down the page unless there's a 'reject-all' option. I'm certainly not about to scroll through a list of your 2769 fucking vendors to individually consent or otherwise.

Friction and not being touched

The journalist Karen Hao – who published an absolutely fantastic book about OpenAI called “Empire of AI” recently – coined (as far as I know) one of the best terms for describing modern “AI” systems: Everything Machines. “AI” systems are not framed as specific tools that solve specific problems in specific ways but just as […]

@MarkHoltom The interesting thing about the poster, which had been displayed in the gift shop of the US Holocaust museum according to Snopes, is that it was based on the below-linked 2003 article by Laurence Britt, who wrote it due to concerns about George W Bush. Which helps place Trump as part of a lineage, not a spontaneous abberation.

A sign about warning signs of fascism was sold in the museum, but it was not part of any display, and it originated from a journal article.

Some background about #LawrenceBritt 's #CharacteristicsOfFascism, which was sold (but not displayed) at the Holocaust Museum. The article does NOT mention that Britt's list was obviously based on #UmbertoEco's version. Oh well... Fact check: 'Early Warning Signs Of Fascism' sign was once sold at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum Sarah Lynch, July 2020 "While a poster with the “Early Warning Signs Of Fascism” was indeed previously sold in the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum Shop, it did not originate from the museum and was not part of any exhibition or display. Britt wrote the words in a 2003 article in Free Inquiry, which Syracuse Cultural Workers reprinted and sold with his permission." https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/08/11/fact-check-poster-once-sold-u-s-holocaust-memorial-museum/5549019002/ The original poster is still being sold here: https://syracuseculturalworkers.com/products/poster-early-warning-signs-of-fascism #LawrenceBritt #CharacteristicsOfFascism #Fascism #Authoritarianism #SyracuseCulturalWorkers
