'AI Is African Intelligence': The Workers Who Train AI Are Fighting Back

I think about this moment portrayed in Persepolis every time a new crime against humanity is committed by Israel or the US. It makes me remember this isn't some vague, inscrutable conflict that would happen no matter what, so who cares! Its real and I weep for my brothers and sisters who are killed

So funny that Dems have spent a decade unable to unravel the complex mind of the dumbest man in politics, then Mamdani instantly came up with "be charismatic and strong" and "make him fake newspapers" and it's Super Effective.

This country is under some kind of wizard's curse where every 50 years there's a crisis that reminds everyone why it's bad for a small gang of obscenely rich assholes to control everything, and we go ohhh and then we all immediately forget again
