thank you Jay Mustafa-Holzapfel for the reminder of just how much fucking strength and bravery it takes to overcome the gender stereotypes and violence we do to become who we are, and Carmilla Williamson for giving queer self love and sensuality a voice 🔥

Should our attention be on AI or, as many presenters say, should we focus efforts on foregrounding and addressing the systems that have produced it? Esp appreciate the points on our complicity in legitimising destructive AI models - we ARE the makers. Can we demand better through our consumption?
