have The Talk with your friends:

• no, artificial intelligence isn't real now, nor is it just around the corner
• we need laws to prevent capitalists using LLMs to try to circumvent labor laws; we don't need laws to stop "rogue AI" because that's sci-fi bullshit with absolutely no bearing on reality
• no, "ai" is not "inevitable" -- the bullshit word extruders that are being positioned as the next big thing right now are snake oil garbage, and not even profitable snake oil garbage, and there's no path to develop them into anything else because that's just how they work
• if you hear someone talking about how "ai" is going to change everything, treat them the same way you'd treat a scientologist talking about whatever the fuck scientologists believe in: it is bullshit cult nonsense for marks and rubes
• remind them to ponder the question of "cui bono" -- who benefits from the narrative that "ai" is the "next big thing"? the answer: mostly filthy rich american fascists, filthy rich chip manufacturers, filthy rich data center operators, and filthy rich silicon valley entrepreneurs

do your part to counter bullshit fucking propaganda from capitalist scumbags 👍

"If the risk of a plane crashing was as high as the risk of the Amoc collapsing, none of us would ever fly because they would not let the plane take off. And the idea that our little spaceship, our planet, is under the risk of essentially crashing and we’re still continuing business as usual is mindblowing."

Ik kreeg vandaag het vonnis van de rechtszaak wegens een geweldloze protestactie tegen de luchthaven van Deurne, Antwerpen.

Ondanks de magere zaak die het openbaar ministerie naar voor bracht, het sterke tegenwerk van onze advocaten en zelfs een eigen pleidooi, schikte de rechter zich volledig naar de belangen van politiek en kapitaal.

We werden allen schuldig bevonden en veroordeeld tot celstraffen en boetes met uitstel - een stevigere straf dan de procureur had geeist en het wetsartikel in kwestie vereist!

Uiteraard laten we het hier niet bij en zullen wij in beroep gaan.
