On the one-year anniversary of EMPIRE OF AI, I am so, so excited to announce The AI Resist List, a new project that documents examples of resistance to the AI empires around the world.

I've always wanted to know more about Jayne Cortez. Great interview by Alexis Pauline Gumbs.
Sapphire@MsSapph
lareviewofbooks.org/article/firesp… via @lareviewofbooks Cortez felt that Black women could find their voices by USING them. Here & now—despite ridicule, repudiation, & limitation—we could document, remember. The colonizers & enslavers depend upon us to forget. Instead, we can write…

fun fact: Current Affairs specifically encourages pitches from people who have never written for a magazine before! We have published pieces by teens, service workers, prisoners, veterans. We welcome new writers seeking their first publication opportunity!

The AI panic and the affordability crisis and the crisis of ambition and the loneliness epidemic are all connected — and tbh, Mamdani gave politicians a model for how to tie it together with “afford to live, afford to dream.” open.substack.com/pub/amandalitm…

The Epstein files changed me forever.
I read them in painstaking detail over months, realizing in real time that we are not ruled by laws equally applied.
We are ruled by wealth, access, and protection networks.
America is a syndicate. I’ll never get over it, so don’t ask me to.

As a veteran community organizer puts it: "No permanent friends; no permanent enemies." MTG is obviously *hugely* problematic. I don't know why she is taking the stance on Israel she is taking. But it is the correct stance. Do I trust her? No. Would I have voted with her? Yes.

I've been trying to give AOC the benefit of the doubt. But this is a devastating and incisive critique.
Huthaifa | حذيفة@Shack_Rat
Honestly, credit where it’s due, nothing I’ve said or probably will say about the AOC/MTG debate is going to top this take. The whole episode is worth listening to, not just the section where Briahna and Sana talk about the AOC/MTG debacle. I’m already on my second listen.

They don't have to have solidarity with us and we don't believe either of them do. The question is do they consider genocide a red line, do they object to US tax money arming a genocide and are they okay with Israel controlling the U.S. government

Ryan Grim and Sam Seder “thoroughly demolish” one another over whether AOC or MTG can credibly claim solidarity with Palestinians. @ryangrim | @SamSeder | @majorityfm

Are you tired of the utopian/dystopian AI predictions from CEOs? Do you want to hear what's ACTUALLY happening, from the people it's actually happening TO? If so, I have good news: I felt the same, so I have worn out my shoe-leather & written this book! penguin.co.uk/books/462159...

It's terrifying to see the degree to which the Silicon Valley ultrarich like Garry Tan are out of their fucking minds x.com/garrytan/statu…
Garry Tan@garrytan
Hard leftists and DSA-types will fight AI tooth and nail because AI is the universal solvent for socialism’s three prerequisites. AI will reduce scarcity (abundance), eliminate victimhood (agency), and eliminate the need for intermediaries (disintermediation).

Being Palestinian diaspora means getting gaslit your entire life. I heard that same exact thing from a teacher when I was this boy's age. My father stormed into my school the next day with his Palestinian passport and a box of land papers in Arabic nobody could read

Kanada'da yaşayan Filistinli çocuk: ▪️"Öğretmenimize Filistinli olduğumu söyledim. "Filistin bir ülke değil" dedi." ▪️"1948’den önce rastgele bir tarihteki haritada şu an İsrail'in bulunduğu yere bakmasını söyledim."

Sometimes I wonder if one of the reasons why society seems so unwell is that we’ve replaced writing things in journals with posting stuff online.
Our personal lives have become a performance, our authenticity becomes a way to capture the algorithm.
Journaling is a way to get to know ourselves. To express the things we cannot express anywhere else. Without edits.
While performing for the algorithm becomes a way to be seen.
When we don’t have unfiltered time to express ourselves without caring about perfecting it afterward, we become strangers to ourselves.
The most radical thing we can do is maintain a sense of our own private life, where we have time to get to know ourselves, reflect, learn about ourselves, and without feeling the need to turn what was meant to be sacred into a piece of content.

Did you know that in honour of Nakba Day, Annemarie Jacir’s PALESTINE ’36 will stream free exclusively on Watermelon+ on May 15?!
This is an absolutely brilliant and moving MUST-SEE film for the whole family.
“A sweeping historical epic on resistance, identity, and liberation.”

.@_KarenHao is brilliant. This op-ed cuts through the tsunami of nonsense in the Musk v OpenAi trial and gets to what matters.
Read her book, too: Empire of AI.
Karen Hao@_KarenHao
So much attention has been paid to the Musk v. Altman trial. But real accountability for the AI industry will not come from a billionaire mudfight. It will come from the movements around the world resisting the empires of AI. My op-ed for @guardian. theguardian.com/technology/com…
