👉Today we're launching this investigation into LAION-5B, the blockbuster dataset behind Midjourney and Stable Diffusion. It's a deep dive into how the dataset was made, and where the images come from. The brilliant @christo_buschek & @blprnt follow the models all the way down.

Today at the ICJ, Israel claimed its targeting of medical facilities has military justifications. All hospitals in the northern region of the strip were rendered inoperable, irrespective of whether such military justifications were provided. See below: x.com/ForensicArchi/…

A desperate cry from UNRWA on behalf of Palestinians in Gaza. Read. Post. Repost. Wake up the apathetic or false consciousness of many in our time.

1,000 children AMPUTATED without anaesthesia bcs Israel does not allow its entry into Gaza, together with many other essential supplies. "The monstruosity of our century."

Babies are #NotATarget. Schools are #NotATarget. Children are #NotATarget. Civilians are #NotATarget. Hospitals are #NotATarget. Humanitarians are #NotATarget. Healthcare workers are #NotATarget. They must be protected. At all times. Everywhere.

Historic! The EU becomes the very first continent to set clear rules for the use of AI 🇪🇺 The #AIAct is much more than a rulebook — it's a launchpad for EU startups and researchers to lead the global AI race. The best is yet to come! 👍

Disagreeing with a UN resolution or with a speech by its SecGen is perfectly OK. Threatening to teach the UN a lesson is definitely not OK - such threats were not even uttered by reps of the roguest of rogue states. theguardian.com/world/2023/oct…

Preliminary analysis by FA, @alhaq_org & @earshot_ngo into the #AlAhli hospital blast in Gaza casts significant doubt on IOF claims that the source of the deadly explosion was a Palestinian-fired rocket travelling west to east.

My new major essay introduces the Santiago School of Technology as a counterpart to the Chicago School of Economics. I also suggest that Allende's greatest legacy may be his government's efforts to build a different technological world order newstatesman.com/the-weekend-es…

I'm happy to announce The Santiago Boys, a podcast that kept me busy for two years. Drawing on more than 200 interviews in multiple languages, it tells the forgotten story of Allende's tech legacy. The trailer is up. The 9-part podcast is coming in summer. the-santiago-boys.com

I have a new major essay in The New York Times (online now, in print on Sunday). It argues that the ideology that pushes "safe A.G.I" as panacea to the world's problems - I call it A.G.I.-ism - is just neoliberalism with better public relations. 1/3 nytimes.com/2023/06/30/opi…
