⚡️ Sunday July 12th (11am PT / 2pm ET) - If Chips Could Kill: Understanding Exploitation in the Semiconductor Industry. We’ll explore the ethics behind hardware - from Congo, to Palestine, to our own backyards twcl.ink/twc-edu-july-2…
'How long can the collective belief in AI withstand evidence to the contrary? The answer: a long time, but not forever . . . We may well be witnessing the start of the erosion of that belief; once a critical threshold is crossed, a financial correction will ensue as brutal as the
ayo edebiri’s “do not talk to me about ai, i will k!ll myself” tee is so iconic and she’s so real for that
Workers at Scientific American, represented by the Writers Guild of America East, held a rally last Tuesday following Springer Nature’s decision to sell the publication and immediately lay off staff.
It’s perfectly fine to be unfamiliar with labor history, but grad students didn’t wander into the UAW cosplaying as autoworkers. The UAW actively recruited academic workers in the 2000s, as a strategy for growing in the knowledge economy. These people didn’t crash the party.
Guy with four Harvard degrees joining the union for auto, aircraft, and agricultural manufacturing workers is an insane LARP.
"Trump’s brokers purchased between $1.6 & $3.9M in stock of Palantir, the surveillance tech company that developed Maven Smart System, the AI system used in Iran... Palantir earned a $10B contract last year to handle the Army’s 'software & data needs' for the foreseeable future."
NEW @jrcooper_ @nick_clevelands According to new financial docs, over the last year Trump's portfolio kept accumulating stocks in defense companies — like Palantir and Lockheed Martin — that were benefiting directly from his global military escalations. responsiblestatecraft.org/trump-defense-…
Oh they’re just saying it now huh
“I don’t know that we know whether Amazon, Google, Microsoft and Meta are actually going to get a ROI on this,” said Jason Pompeii, a corporate debt analyst at Fitch Ratings. “It seems like a lot of demand hype that is very aspirational at this point.” 👇🏼
On Juneteenth, we remember how freedom arrived in this country--late, withheld, sorely insufficient, & because Black people seized it through a “General Strike,” abandoning Confederate plantations en masse, starving the South’s war economy and forcing the Union’s hand.
the best thing i've read about AI in years
A.I. companies are engaging in “doom trolling,” Cal Newport writes. “They like to solemnly describe the harms that their models will cause, while acting helpless to do anything about it.” nyti.ms/4fWCr97
Juries should remember that we no longer know what actual charges the judges will bring after the verdict in such cases. On this basis, all protestors and activists should be found not guilty regardless of evidence presented.

You're paying the crew what they demanded through a vote- better pay and benefits and you got to make your movie. You're on Twitter complaining about your fucking crew. Get a grip.
My very first morning filming Detention in LA, which was supposed to be an $800k shoot, Iatse showed up with a ballot box and said the crew was going to "vote" to turn it union or I get shut down. I had no choice but to flip it and spent the rest of the shoot scrambling to find

These data centers also don’t exist yet!
*META STRIKES AI COMPUTING DEALS WITH DATA CENTER FIRM CRUSOE $META just struck a 1.6GW deal with datacenter firm Crusoe to buy compute from 2 sites, one in Texas and one in Missouri He needs to be stopped.
In Chapter 10 of my book Copaganda, called Progressives Want a Pro-Crime Hellscapte, I talked about this phenomenon at length with lots of interesting and funny examples to illustrate how harmful people like Klein are and to show exactly why they are so vital for the ruling class:
This is how you push through universally unpopular legislation. You start with attacks on groups most people don't care about (sex workers), under the guise of something many support (protecting kids). Then you keep increasing the heat until the frog sits in boiling water.
Age verification started with porn and social media. Now, governments are passing laws requiring operating systems to collect your age before you can use your computer at all. pcmag.com/explainers/you…
They made enough money *yesterday* to fund free college for half a decade.
The 500 richest people on Earth got $366 billion richer yesterday, the single biggest jump ever. This is what a global economy rigged for billionaires looks like.
Meta workers: reach out. No pizza party tastes as good as a union feels.
JUST IN: Meta’s CTO says morale is near “the worst it’s ever been” — leadership will offer increased snack budgets to lift spirits.
@additionaltext @techworkersco we regularly hold online events that are remote first, and promote local organizing in countries. For this specific event, we have hosted occasional remote speakers, and also flown in many from around the globe, but it is primarily a place for in-person connection.
@additionaltext @techworkersco we always offer some travel funding to help those in need.
BIG NEWS ❤️🔥!! Circuit Breakers, our annual tech labor conference, is looking for session and workshop proposals. This event centers rank and file organizing. Workers are the experts who bring management to the table and win big.
