ECI tells Supreme Court that the West Bengal CEO Manoj Agarwal had the authority to bulk submit Form 7 without stating the reason why. who needs laws and rules when we have BJparty to bulldoze all of it.

"AI agents are agents of the person or organization that deploys them—and should be treated by the law as such. ... To allow businesses to hide behind the excuse of faulty AI ... would introduce disastrous incentives for corporate misbehavior" www.schneier.com/blog/archive...

This is nuts. He was already placed in a league with 5yo. Saw in an article on huffpost that pro footballer Eddie Johnson has enrolled him in his youth soccer program for the winter because of this incident, so this kid hopefully can move on from these jerks and continue having more fun.

restaurateur says you should taste the shitburger before you decide how you feel about it
Ava DuVernay's 14th, about the 14th Amendment, uses AI to animate old photos that are in the public domain, and the filmmaker wants people to see the documentary for themselves before deciding how they feel about it. tinyurl.com/c6nj6vf7

"AI can draft an essay for you, especially if you give it a high quality prompt." Really? This is what MIT thinks high schoolers should learn? MIT's "Day of AI" dayofai.org provides materials for K-12 teachers and claims to have reached over 5,000,000 students to date. 1/2

So much to say about Brazil, not least of which is the role that Erika Hilton, a Black trans leader and most voted woman politician in Brazil, played in mobilizing folks for Lula. She was behind the critical, concrete, economic promise of shorter work-week. theprint.in/feature/erik...

“Zelfs de uitstoot volgens de conservatieve IAE-scenario’s met beperkte groei ligt in de orde van grootte van 1 GtCO₂e per jaar en is onaanvaardbaar in het licht van het wereldwijde koolstofbudget”, schrijft [professor Wim Vanderbauwhede] in zijn paper. 48hrs #Climate #AI gift link:

The right doesn’t fight in good faith. They have proven repeatedly that they are fuelled by raw hatred against imaginary enemies made out of very real people. Conceding to them does no good. Ever. No need to be kind to racists, please.
The lessons from Brazil and Serbia? Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right. Don't appease. Don't triangulate. Don't grovel. Don't say they have "legitimate concerns". Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.

This really cant be said enough: Bolsonarists are so anti-national interest that it sounds unbelievable for a rightwing party to be so unpatriotic They begged Trump to sanction & tariff their own country & cause economic pain to millions of Brazilians so their guy could win. x.com/rojasrjuand/...

Especially if you are American, voting alone won't save you. You don't have a left wing party. The Democrats are making anti trans ads. Erika Hilton, a black trans woman, is the most voted congresswoman in Brazil and this is a video of Lula kissing her on the cheek.

A wrong lesson to take from the Brazilian elections is that voting can defeat fascism. That's not true at all. Democracy is an incredibly frail system and the US almost took over the country through it. ORGANIZED PEOPLE DEFEATED FASCISM
It's another day, so let's talk about this. First of all, Lula didn't win the election alone. He won because more than half of the country FREAKED THE FUCK OUT and built a popular movement that organized several actions both irl and online.
Cue the centrist bullshitters. "Profound" says a random bearded man, grapsing at authenticity.
Despite how "shitty" chatbots can be, we're already seeing AI change the way our world works. This week on the pod, @emanuelmaiberg.bsky.social sits down with longtime tech reporter and author @mikeisaac.bsky.social to talk about the AI bubble. Watch now: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sNB...
