In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

Chances that anyone in Brazil and in game dev doesn't know Thais feel relatively low, but just in case: the results of Brazil's elections are going to heavily affect game dev as a viable cultural expression & viable career. It's a thread worth reading.

Billionaires have been able to play the system and avoid paying their fair share. Enough is enough, it’s time for them to pay it forward to the society that got them their billions. With Alex Winter. #Yeson40 #NoOn 41 #NoOn42 #BillionaireTaxNow

With AI, fixating on apocalyptic scenarios ignores real-world problems involving the actually already existing AI. We have proven methods to address disruptive technology, but for anyone who opposes them, apocalyptic fantasies can be a useful distraction. My latest, in @liberalcurrents.com:

liberalcurrents.comThe Plausible Techno-Dystopian FutureThe problems caused by AI development are widespread and multiplying, but none involves a digital demon that kills us all.

gringo mutuals, this is not a drill, nor a hyperbole: we've been gaming the algorithm in all social medias and protesting on the street almost non-stop for 2 weeks now. Undecided voters are turning away from Bolsonaro Jr due to our collective action! We're turning this around for real!

Aside from how awful this already is, I hope no children were put in danger of punishment from their bigoted parents. But I can imagine a closeted queer child who was already in danger could be put in more by a stunt like this.

Team Paxton appears to have sent out fake mailers to Texas voters impersonating a trans student group and claiming to want to help kids secretly transition. The actual group said they had nothing to do with it, despite the mailers copying their aesthetic, and the address traces to a random UPS box.

Last I'll post about this, but Elon Musk disagrees with me. This means I am onto something, and I feel more valid in my opinion than ever.

Kenney hit the infamous "two billionaires with one post" achievement, remains very rare, also shows once again that money does not equal intelligence, capability, or insight: Kenney is obviously right.

since California ballots are now out: prop 40 is the billionaire tax, and you should vote yes to stick it to them but both props 41 and 42 are designed to retroactively cancel the billionaire tax because they’re afraid they can’t beat it at the ballot box yes on 40, no on 41 and 42

Meta took down the No Kings instagram; TikTok banned the Musk documentary account for supposedly violating its political posting policies. A reminder that platforms are owned by the wealthiest of people, control the means of media distribution, & put their thumbs on the democracy scale as they wish
