"AI" is a serious threat to many people's lives as companies and governments use it to kill people more effectively, to make people drown at EU borders, to undermine their livelihoods by devaluing their work, to burn the planet more quickly for the benefit of a few.
Violence against "AI" is an act of self-defence.
This is a great article documenting what is happening in the US right now (with the necessary distancing re not endorsing physical violence, ofc):

Es ist abscheulich, wie die @sueddeutsche_feed@social.tchncs.de über arme Menschen in Berlin herzieht: "In der S-Bahn freut man sich über freie Plätze, bis man den Grund erkennt: ein über den Boden rinnender Urinbach, der aus dem Hosenbein eines dort Schlafenden austritt. Sowieso haben mehr Fahrgäste im öffentlichen Nahverkehr Alkohol dabei als Fahrscheine." https://www.sueddeutsche.de/kultur/berlin-heruntergekommen-abgesang-touristen-dysfunktional-li.3447848

@Herman
Don't take it from me, but talk to someone from Hungary to make up your mind. There is little ambiguity re who Magyar is and what he stands for. He is the lesser evil, no doubt, but "benefit of the doubt" would be extremely naive.

Rebuilding leftist movements in Hungary will hopefully be easier under Magyar. But it is not a no-brainer and it will take a lot of time and resources. The coalition with Tisza reached its objective of ousting Orban.
Now it is time to build up a meaningful leftist alternative and keep Tisza in check as much as possible.
So to all of the "EU friends" here: Don't embrace Magyar. Just because he is your enemy's enemy, that does not make him your friend.

Yes, we should all celebrate Orban leaving office. It is a victory in the fight against autocrats - where Orban was a weird ally of the US AND Russia AND China.
But: This has come at a huge cost for any progressive movements in Hungary. Parliament is now run EXCLUSIVELY by right-wing, anti-migration parties. Leftists voted for Magyar to get rid of Orban.
Magyar will be an easier partner for EU institutions (also increasingly anti-migration). He is no ally for the left.

So sieht’s aus in Berlin 2026: Die extrem rechte Presse (nius, im roten Kreis) will die Teilnehmenden einer linken Konferenz trollen und einschüchtern und die Polizei ist da, um sie - die Presse - zu beschützen.
Noch mal: Die Polizei schützt extrem Rechte vor Menschen, die diese Rechten als „Linksextreme“ markieren wollen.
Wir stehen zusammen dagegen. Wir lassen uns nicht einschüchtern. #cablesofresistance

Cables of Resistance is coming up, only two more days! Such an amazing programme.
It is a bummer for many that tickets sold out already a while ago. Good news: Talks in Münzenbergsaal and Seminarraum 1 will be streamed and recorded, so you do not need to miss out entirely. With live translation DE <=> EN for the former by REAL people!
If you are in Berlin, there are various activities like a city tour, a protest rave and an arts space open to everyone. https://cableresist.de/

Ich dachte ja immer, dieses Narrativ von "linke Gruppen zeigen sich solidarisch mit [großes Übel in der Welt, eher weiter weg], aber schweigen zu [offensichtliches Übel in ihrem Umfeld] (um nicht in die Schusslinie zu geraten)" sei so ne rein bürgerliche Mär.
Denke ich jetzt nicht mehr.
Ich hoffe echt sehr, auch mal von erstaunlich viel Rückgrat überrascht zu werden.

This (media) fascination with space travel is just absurd. I wish they would ever report on something socially meaningful with a similar level of detail, like: "So how does it really work when you eradicate child poverty? You provide free social activities, give their families more money...and what happens then?"
Space travel is a male, Western, deeply colonial obsession to dominate places even beyond Earth. Just like "AI", the TESCREAL ideologies support it - both in the US and in Europe.

"Are you going to wait forever for men to love you back?"
A great essay: https://taliabhattwrites.substack.com/p/political-heterosexuality-or-the, learned so much about political lesbianism and heterofatalism.
"Since we all seem to need the reminder, let’s revisit the feminist politics of appeasement. And if the feminism of white women is so objectionable, let’s consider the very same history of tension between lesbian and heterofeminism within the Black feminist tradition." and she goes on to examine bell hooks and others.

Sie diffamiert die einzige kriegskritische, nicht US-unterwürfige Politik in der EU als politisches Strategisieren für den Koalitionsfortbestand und Wahlkampfgehabe. Damit legitimiert die ARD das widerliche Anbiedern und faschistoide Mitlaufen des Rests der EU.

What so-called "AI" is not and will never be:
- ethical
- explainable
- safe
- democratic
- good
- in the public interest
- transformative
- emancipatory
edit: + feminist + sustainable + reasoning + sentient + open-source + accountable + for the people + liberatory
Please add to the list, I am sure I have forgotten some of the "feel-good" labels.
I am so fed up with people who insist on their illusions, who insist on [fill in] "AI" while refusing to talk about how "AI" works and its impact.

RE: @matthimon@systemli.social
And he says about Cables of Resistance: "In short, an antifascist and feminist counteroffensive at the level of the technological offensive still has to be laboriously developed – the aforementioned movement conference from 10 to 12 April in Berlin could be an important building block."

This is hilarious. A similar rule works for companies and ofc Trump, but the examples in the article are hi-la-ri-ous.
"You can never directly challenge anything the CEO said, even if the CEO has a long history of false or misleading promises and claims.
You can never include any useful historical context about the company or executives' past statements, even if they've been proven repeatedly wrong. The CEO's comments should always exist in a magic vacuum."

"Mitwirkende an ZDF-Sendungen müssen sich teilweise verpflichten, nicht mit Personen zusammenzuarbeiten, die auf einer Sanktions- oder Terrorliste stehen. Kritiker werfen dem Sender vor, sich damit zum Handlanger der USA zu machen."
Was heißt hier "Kritiker werfen vor"?! Was sonst? Im Text ist bloß die Rede von "problematischem Inhalt" dieser Sanktionsbestimmungen.
Öffentlich finanzierte Medien setzen Zensur der USA in faschistischer Wende um. Weimer wird sich freuen.

RE: @champagneanarchism@kolektiva.social
This is another great episode for understanding how messed up and often even incoherent capitalist ideology is.
Towards the end, he explains how Robert Bork completely dismantled the point of antitrust policy with his "Antitrust Paradox" which means that basically all chocolate bars you will find generate profits for Mars and that labour power has been completely eroded.
Edit: Apologies for the huge delay in publishing the latest episodes.

Am I the only one who associated "Butlerian Jihad" with Judith Butler at first? 🙈
I thought "oh wow, I thought they are an awesome feminist, I did not know they would inspire such interesting concepts, too!"... 🤓

What are good examples of concrete acts of resistance against "AI"? I am putting together an overview and am surely missing great stuff!
I have:
Data centre opposition (thx to @gerrymcgovern@mastodon.green )
Examples of sabotage from @asrg@tldr.nettime.org
Some ideas about practical refusal from @danmcquillan@kolektiva.social
Also everyday acts are great (such as not following orders to use "AI") if they are documented somewhere, somehow. Most references tend to be rather vague (e.g. in this otherwise great article
https://restofworld.org/2026/techno-negative-thomas-dekeyser-fighting-ai/)

Acts of resistance digital sphere vs analogue: Often, violating digital property laws (e.g. hacking or forms of civil disobedience) is more heavily criminalised/fined than analogue trespassing or theft.
What are examples of strict digital punishments? I know @pluralistic@mamot.fr often points out how disproportionate the DCMA is.
I found this helpful for the US (EU would be great):
https://www.findlaw.com/criminal/criminal-charges/hacking-laws-and-punishments.html
And what is the latest re the German hacker paragraph? https://netzpolitik.org/2024/hacker-paragrafen-wir-veroeffentlichen-den-gesetzentwurf-zum-computerstrafrecht/

Everything must burn 🔥 🔥 🔥
I have just come across the work of Thomas Dekeyser on the Techno-Negative and become a fan!
This is his latest book: https://www.upress.umn.edu/9781517917739/techno-negative/
This is an excerpt from it on techno-phobia:
https://lithub.com/technophobe-a-short-history-of-an-insult/
And in this interview he explains how embracing negativity is a counterpoint to the superficial hope that follows most accounts of how terrible everything is (the first 6 minutes are great! even though it's two dudes talking): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKX4V_atmMQ

"Nosthoffs These lautet, dass wir in einem „postkybernetischen Zeitalter“ leben – nicht weil wir die Kybernetik hinter uns gelassen hätten, sondern weil sie ubiquitär ist. [...] Sie bringt, so Nosthoffs Argument, auch eine spezifische Regierungsweise hervor, die nicht nur von außen lenkt, sondern indem Subjekte ihr Verhalten selbst regulieren."
Schöne Rezension der FAZ von @ANosthoff@mastodon.social|s tollem Buch. (Witzig, "ubiquitär" mal wieder irgendwo zu lesen...Feuilleton halt.)

There is a lot to say about organising and resistance against AI and capitalism. Hence, I put that into a short blog post for @structural_integrity@kolektiva.social which features that awesome manifesto by Cables of Resistance in English and German: https://www.structural-integrity.eu/structural-integrity-goes-cables-of-resistance/
"We organise and resist. We want to refuse, hack, shut down, break up, socialise and transform Big Tech." 🔥
Looking forward to also giving a talk together with @malteengeler@legal.social on socialising digital platforms.
Hope to see you there!

RE: @hib_Nachrichten@social.bund.de
Es ist so abscheulich, wie die extrem Rechten Frauenrechte instrumentalisieren, um gegen migrantisierte Menschen zu hetzen. Diese Doppelstrategie von "durch Antifeminismus Frauen abwerten und zu Opfern machen" und gleichzeitig "sich für selektive Rechte dieser Opfer einsetzen" ist einfach nur perfide.
Und ich seh schon, wie die bürgerliche "Mitte" und Union sich darauf berufen werden mit "guckt mal, natürlich verteidigen sie Frauen, die sind gar nicht frauenfeindlich!"

From the series: absurd arguments for "socialist AI"
How is it possible that people who want to overcome capitalism argue that "AI is inevitable"?! That level of cognitive dissonance...wow.
Capitalism is a deeply entrenched system that has shaped all domains of society for centuries. "AI" is a set of technologies that have come into widespread adoption over the last few years.
If we believe in a future beyond capitalism (and I do), then we can certainly believe in a future without "AI".

My demand for 8/3: Scrap that anti-feminist propaganda machine called genAI! It generates misogynist slop even in the hands of those declaring to want the opposite.
The German ministry for research @bmftr_bund@social.bund.de just published a paper depicting female researchers in history who have been distorted to conform to gender norms - even with explicit prompts for smiles and dancing. But even without such prompts genAI reproduces and reinforces female oppression.
Publicly funded.

“The revelation that a subsidiary of Capgemini, a multinational digital services firm listed on the Paris stock exchange, had agreed to provide “skip tracing” – a technique for locating targeted people – with big bonuses if successful, has provoked outrage in France.“
High time to let go of the illusions that firms or “sovereignty” will defend anyone against fascist forces. They are happy enablers and part of the problem, not just in the US.

Ab Minute 13:07 durfte ich bei @breitband@det.social darüber sprechen, inwiefern Immoscout24 allen schadet und wie es besser laufen könnte, wenn wir es vergesellschaften.
So tolle Resonanz zu dem Thema - wir freuen uns auf die nächsten Schritte. Wer mitmachen möchte: vergesellschaften@redscout24.de

Apparently this requires restating:
We should not want a European Palantir.
We should not want an open-source Palantir.
We should not want a non-commercial Palantir.
If it is supposed to do what Palantir does, we should not want it.
And I don't care to what extent Palantir's products are shaped by political or profit motives. We know enough to reject its logic altogether.
