UK Supreme Court bullshit

The UK is a hateful, regressive shithole anti-trans state. In case anyone wasn’t aware. I don’t know if trans people will be better off in an independent Scotland, but we’ve got to try for their sakes, for all marginalised people in Scotland.

In this Op-ed for Scientific American, Asmelash Teka & I discuss one of the many reasons the idea of replacing US federal workers with so-called generative AI systems should terrify us. We dive into the well defined task of automatic speech recognition (ASR), and describe why OpenAI’s Whisper, which has been integrated into ChatGPT, makes stuff up, or “hallucinates” as it’s called in the industry (bad nomenclature).

@timnitGebru John Lithgow --> 20 Lessons on Tyranny

Now, more than ever, we need the wisdom of our intellects, the patriotism of our citizens, and the passion and talents of those who still believe in the American experiment. I am deeply grateful to Timothy Snyder for his 20 Lessons On Tyranny and for talents of the brilliant John Lithgow for bringing them to life.

Stop #GEAS
"Seit 2014 sind rund 30.000 Menschen auf ihrer Flucht nach Europa im #Mittelmeer ertrunken. Am 8.Juni haben die EU-Innenminster*innen beschlossen, mit der Reform des Gemeinsamen Europäischen #Asylsystems (GEAS) Unmenschlichkeit und menschenrechtsverletzende Praktiken an den Außengrenzen der EU zu ratifizieren. Statt einer Asylpolitik die den oftmals schwer traumatisierten verfolgten Geflüchteten gerecht wird setzt die #EU auf Lager in denen Menschen monatelang unter haftähnlichen Bedingungen eingesperrt werden. Dort sollen sie in einem Schnellverfahren abgefertigt und in vermeitlich sicherer Drittstaaten abgeschoben werden.

Zahlreiche Menschenrechtsorganisationen kritisieren die GEAS aufs Schärfste. Auch wir prangern die menschenrechtsverachtende Politik an. Sie macht jede Abgrenzung der Ampelparteien zu Rechtsextremen zur Heuchelei. Diese Reform ist eine Eskalation der rassistischen und staatlich legitimierten Gewalt gegen Geflüchtete! Darum folgt nun von uns eine Eskalation unserer Methoden.
(...)
Weil Menschen ungehört sterben und ihr dabei schweigt,müssen jetzt Scheiben splittern weil ihr nur dann schreit!"

Today is Human Rights Day.

Observed annually, Human Rights Day celebrates the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the United Nations General Assembly in 1948.

As the world becomes more divided, we hope that the rights of humans across the globe will be respected and protected. We also believe in social media as a place to raise awareness for such injustices.
