"The 73 square miles of forested land is over three times the size of Manhattan, according to Nelson Mathews, president of the Western Rivers Conservancy.

Getting p-r-e-t-t-y tired of all the 'anthropologists' and 'critical designers' who are hopping on a human-centred-AI funding train while acting as the participation-washing front end for violent epistemologies

Remember to mourn the loss of countless indigenous lives through foreign disease, warfare with colonizers, having their kids kidnapped to be raised by white colonizers in their "Good Christian faith," having their women raped and sold into slavery along with the men. Also, mourn the loss of those who have been missing or murdered in our modern times.

'the economy' is people burning through slabs of glass and silicon at an absurd rate even though they don't need or want to

Imagine if all the money being put into "AI" was used for wildlife conservation, climate restoration and stabilization, universal health care, universal basic income, scientific research, education, renewables.

Some of these areas would be permanently world-altering in a positive way if they received that kind of funding.

Deux articles du Parisien hier, suivis aujourd'hui d'un article du Figaro, ont lancé une offensive honteuse contre GrapheneOS, un système d'exploitation open-source pour téléphones, gratuit et accessible à toutes et tous. À La Quadrature, c'est un des outils que nous privilégions et recommandons régulièrement pour se protéger du tracking publicitaire ou des spywares.
