This is extremely, extremely alarming.
Look, if you show up for a protest and you slash car tires and break a security camera, you do that understanding that there may be personal consequences — and for vandalizing gov property, as the price of civil disobedience, maybe you accept your 9-month sentence + probation.
You do not accept a 50- or 70- or 100-year sentence. Many murderers get less time than that. If they murdered Alex Pretti or Renee Good, they apparently get no time at all.
This isn’t justice. It’s suppression. It’s authoritarianism.

A phenomenon I've noticed recently is people trying to occupy some untenable middleground wrt to the use of systems sold as "AI" -- this is a position where people try to recognize the harms of this tech but also hold space for "responsible" or "ethical" use.

Whenever you hear a politician or police official vilify people who communicate "using encrypted messaging apps", replace it with "in the privacy of their bedroom".
People in power feel entitled to be able to supervise your behaviour, wherever you are, and in whatever form it takes. The concept of privacy offends them.
Hackers aren't just animals in a hoodie slapping at a keyboard until the lights turn green. Hackers are people that bend systems to their will. They see what exists and say "that won't do" rather than continuing to use a half broken process. Some people hack computers. Some people hack cars to have higher fuel capacity. Some people hack their community to fight injustice. It's about bending the rules and connecting the dots.
I am a hacker. You can be one too.

Humans are INCREDIBLY good at mapping prostheses!
It's what we DO: adapt to tools as extensions of our bodies – so that using them becomes seamless, their quirks etched into muscle memory, effortless as reflex.
I had PROPRIOCEPTION for that and you MOVED IT
This commentary on Eric Schmidt's ill-received commencement speech at University of Arizona is spot on:
https://youtu.be/tlQ7EoJDTQY
It is a thoughtful, stern public call-out of a man who had all the power and opportunity to make the right, ethical decisions at Google, but didn't – and who now demands that students inhabiting the technofascist dystopia he helped create go in and fix it.
The booing at that commencement speech was a rare and much-needed moment of accountability for Schmidt.🔥
