  The most immediate barrier between us and defeating fascism are naive "wankerbutternoodles" 🙃🙃🤮 like Ms. Banh begging evil institutions like the cops to be nice and to honour their lies to "serve and protect" 🙃🙃 rather than to STFU around cops as experienced defense lawyers advise and to organize revolution as Malcolm X and the Black Panthers advised. Don't be like Ms. Bahn. Be like Artemis.

  Share! 🎉🎉 #NoAI So the campaign for Recovering After Gen AI will end in less than a day, 19 hours. We've exceeded the $6000 CAD I was hoping for on Monday. Wow! I'm immensely grateful to my backers I have started writing the book, and I've been interviewing a few scientists and technicians gradually, over email. This campaign is my sole source of income for the time being because of how Gen AI has negatively impacted my livelihood as someone who researches and writes about cy...

  Share! 🎉 #NoAI A lot of you have pledged in the past few days. That's wonderful. I'm so appreciative. My self published books through Kickstarter are my sole source of income for the time being, as Gen AI literally did rid me of my livelihood. Because I do freelance research and writing about cybersecurity and tech in general. I used to have a very livable income up until 2024 or so. And my freelancing peers have similar stories to tell. The massive economic and workforce harms of G...

  Tomorrow! Share! 🎉 The fifth and final Recovering After Gen AI webinar is with Faster and Worse’s Stephen Farrugia. @fasterandworse@hci.social Gen AI will end soon because the bubble will pop and the top scientists I cite say datacentres are unsustainable according to the laws of physics, plus the Mad Cow disease of data, model collapse. What will we do about the aftermath? Environmental destruction? Millions of cognitively dependent people having nervous breakdowns? Massive skills loss in...

  Please share! 🎉 I'm looking for professionals in a variety of areas to interview for my upcoming book, Recovering After Gen AI. With their expertise, they should hopefully have theories or educated guesses as to what might happen in the wake of Gen AI's demise. So obviously, clankers/techbros need not apply. If you are in one of these professions or know people who are, please let me know: - Psychologists (in regards to cognitive and psychological harm) - Engineers (dealing with a...

  Taylor Lorenz, who thinks the Gen Z movement to use "dumb" phones is some dangerous conspiracy, uses Gen AI willingly. 🙃 Interviewer: "How much do you spend on AI tools every month?" Taylor Lorenz: "Probably about $300 a month." 🙃 #NoAI https://on.substack.com/p/model-behavior-taylor-lorenz

  Share! 🎉🎉 I'm just a former cybersecurity professor who quit her job because the Open Institute of Technology was going to force me to subject my students to Gen AI. Kickstarter is my sole source of income for the time being, and I'm really struggling financially. I wrote books for O'Reilly and Wiley, and now I write self published books criticizing Big Tech. I have an excellent track record with Kickstarter campaigns. Gen AI will end. The laws of physics can't sustain datace...

  RE: https://normal.style/@healyn/117006002538135384 Actually, Covid's peak is in the future due to the vast majority of the population having Covid damaged immune systems and future Covid variants getting more destructive as people's Covid brain damage gets worse. Wastewater data shows more Covid circulating in 2026 than in 2020. The vaccines are always at least 18 months out of date relative to circulating strains. You must wear a goddamn respirator mask, N95, in public at all times...

  RE: https://mstdn.ca/@dbattistella/116995146478021457 I agree that the CEO of Shopify is a fascist, and retailers should stop using Shopify. But there is no Canadian "democracy" to destroy. Canada was never truly a democracy, and nor is the US and other capitalist countries. Before you scream at me, both Princeton research and Indigenous insight backs me up. And although these citations are about the US, they apply to Canada, the UK, etc. for the same reasons. "Choosing"...

  Here's the PeerTube version of the webinar David Gerard and I did on Saturday. Brand new! Share! 🎉 @davidgerard@circumstances.run -- David Gerard, the creator of Pivot to AI, joined Kim Crawley to discuss how we can recover after Gen AI. And the aftermath is soon, no matter how often fools and bootlickers say "AI is here to stay, get used to it!" David concluded from data that the horrific financial bubble will pop by 2027, perhaps when SoftBank and venture capitalists quit...

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@jcoglan/116975877284598252 Doctorow was trying to convince me that Gen AI does spellcheck better and supposedly fixing typos has nothing to do with editing! 🙃 I have all the screenshots. And he couldn't out argue me, so he reverted to what all rightwing dudebro techbros say when they have no argument. "Facts don't care about your feelings!" 🫠🫠🫠🫠 You see, he is a rightwing dudebro techbro in disguise. As I said, I have all the screenshots. Spr...

  Tomorrow! It's a Big Tech critic who's actually consistent in his beliefs! David Gerard sees the financial bubble behind Gen AI popping by 2027. I look at research from MIT, the UN, and Harvard which confirms that the monstrous, planet destroying datacentres that our evil tech overlords demand are unsustainable according to the laws of physics... And there's also model collapse. How are we going to recover humanity and society from the immense environmental, economic, sociologica...

  Share! 🎉🎉 #NoAI Later today! 99th Day author and journalist @gerrymcgovern@mastodon.green will likely discuss how we should recover from the aftermath of Gen AI from an environmental perspective. Every "prompt" removes fresh water from the Earth, rapidly accelerates climate disaster, and psychologically tortures the poor people who live near datacentres and poor people in the developing world who are paid pennies to screen CSAM, etc. There's absolutely zero excuse for a consu...

I was warning people not to be fooled, to not trust Mozilla, and people yelled at me. - "We're now an AI first browser!" - "Boo!" - "Umm. Okay. We will deploy an 'AI killswitch' by early 2026!

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@matttutt/116957811375212067 You could tell them to seek mental health resources, find people to speak to, anything but justify Gen AI. Your language is deliberately elusive and vague because you're downplaying how you said when clients ask for ChatGPT help, you help them use ChatGPT! 🙃🙃🙃🙃 Calling Gen AI a "tool" is a massive red flag. Gen AI is a HORROR.

• Post #3990306

  He means "help mental health charity gain visibility through ChatGPT," BTW. But he's too chickenshit, so he's using deliberately vague language. You would be welcome in spaces like Stop Gen AI if you actually had a strong moral stance against Gen AI, Matt. https://mastodon.social/@matttutt/116957811375212067

• Post #3990157

  Some people hate me, some people like and respect me Because I take a stand, I have strong and consistent moral principles. You get rejected from spaces, Matt, because you think you can compromise between evil and fighting evil. By my fighting evil, I piss evil people off. But the people opposing evil then respect me. Take a wishy washy stance between evil and opposing evil, and "both sides" will reject you. Absolutely, Matt. BTW, he is talking about "helping" mental he...

  RE: https://zeroes.ca/@kimcrawley/116957567981962022 What a total fucking disappointment. I simply asked Matt Tutt to introduce himself and he talks about how he helps his SEO clients use ChatGPT! 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃 As I said privately, this isn't like an employee being forced to use Gen AI at their survival income job. Matt is a consultant and he could advise his clients to steer clear of Gen AI. Environmental destruction with every "prompt." Oh, your client is a food bank? Poor people...

  RE: https://zeroes.ca/@kimcrawley/116958054984882249 For the record, if you're a consultant and your client asks how they can acquire more ChatGPT visibility, you tell them why they must avoid Gen AI. You don't fucking say "I will help you improve your ChatGPT visbility!" As this author correctly writes: "We have rejected all AI implementation work. It is absolutely a gigantic bubble and we have minimized our exposure to it – every single one of our current contracts wo...

  GrapheneOS can be installed on Pixel phones, and LineageOS on most other Android OEMs. I highly recommend replacing vanilla Android, the only way to remove Gemini from an Android device. https://youtu.be/WQD2SSGO3JI #NoAI @davidgerard@circumstances.run

  Please share! 🎉 🎉 I had a great time chatting with @davidgerard@circumstances.run about my upcoming book, Recovering After Gen AI. Yep, David and I both agree that the nightmare of Gen AI will probably end within the next few years. Because the datacentres are unsustainable according to the laws of physics, the computer science concept of model collapse, and of course... that ridiculous financial bubble.
