Some names are from the precolonial era, while others are not quite as old, and in certain cases where the original name has been lost, Indigenous collaborators reconstructed names based on their cultural relationship with that location. Because Indigenous languages are living and dynamic, none of these names are any less “authentic” than others. 2024-10-13T23:59:05Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsq7vqdty3nwewy3xsvezl9ql76hrey0e9d0uxdkv3r5f88n4zsy8qzyrc29gp0rvkxp8hjfheq6lcqdyuw75uus2n00x8kdhlmr552ptn3jq28n4f Another day in &#34;generative #AI by Big Tech is killing the planet in the same way Big Oil and Auto are razing the lands at the cost of people society trains us to ignore&#34;<br/><br/><a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2024/10/08/google-meta-omaha-data-centers/">https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2024/10/08/google-meta-omaha-data-centers/</a> 2024-10-13T14:24:27Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsxeakh60le754m9mepwhv5a7z3urdmjw7ryvna3p0a9c3ln909w3czyrc29gp0rvkxp8hjfheq6lcqdyuw75uus2n00x8kdhlmr552ptn3jvqfcmp In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsp4qfzkyugeza64muhktp5dq9h55k3zcxwt3jtrvjc5ljpp4un4zg062d9g'>nevent1q…2d9g</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Yes to this re: Generative AI as a whole <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/jeeyon.bsky.social/post/3l6e6gi2sjt2s">https://bsky.app/profile/jeeyon.bsky.social/post/3l6e6gi2sjt2s</a> 2024-10-13T03:25:08Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsp4qfzkyugeza64muhktp5dq9h55k3zcxwt3jtrvjc5ljpp4un4zgzyrc29gp0rvkxp8hjfheq6lcqdyuw75uus2n00x8kdhlmr552ptn3j0mdrp7 Seeing more and more reports from small and medium publications of being overwhelmed by LLM generated submissions, this time from Uncanny Magazine.

There&#39;s no concrete way to shift its investments without a heavy shift in society. It&#39;s doing what IBM did, attempting to solve the world&#39;s problems with technology with extreme ignorance to the problem root.<br/><br/>For example, modern police technology all have history from the apartheid technology IBM they developed some time ago. Then they got a sitting president to invest in an initiative to digitize a lot of the policies around policing. Not to improve it, but to *automate* it. Kansas City was a test bed (whose police chief ended up working for the FBI to expand this technology).<br/><br/>It took about four years for it to be deployed in every state. And that was in the late 1970s (re: deployment). Microsoft stepped in to expand it for federal and international military use, both expansion of the anti-Black police state (that was the OG data used, the literal racist fears of affluent white people), IBM refined it when things like America&#39;s failure to take over Vietnam happened.<br/><br/>Like all of this has to go.

Outside of the one mention of a Nigerian person who made AfroNet (who was a first-generation Nigerian American, I was excited for a moment because I was hoping for mentions of folks _outside_ of the US), this book seems to only take place in the United States. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Software">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Software</a><br/><br/>I think that&#39;s part of the nature of this. ARPANet was a United States government project. IBM, despite its own ... colonial background .. is an American multinational. The languages and documentation were also targeting American English.<br/><br/>This makes it hard to _not see_ how the Internet and computing helped &#34;push&#34; American ideologies of technology across the world (despite everyone else clamping their approaches on top of it). 2024-10-06T23:41:47Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsfwqfz8yuygyakjy363ltsmh076ll708wwqtrnqlm7jjvpydqjqlqzyrc29gp0rvkxp8hjfheq6lcqdyuw75uus2n00x8kdhlmr552ptn3jklq0eg &#34;Jacky, how is that you &#39;make&#39; everything political?&#34;<br/><br/>I don&#39;t &#34;make&#34; something political. Politics isn&#39;t a box, the words someone speaks or just some whim. It&#39;s the relationship of power that controls the relationships between *everything*.<br/><br/>Like who can use a bathroom. Who has the right to have water or have a path to wealth. Who can enjoy &#34;creature comforts&#34;. And who can participate in understanding politics and those who can complain about it &#34;ruining&#34; everything.<br/><br/>[This is one of the reasons why I do not understand the &#39;CW your political post&#39; nor will I ever: it&#39;s effectively choosing to opt out of life. And if you have the luxury, I&#39;m not the person you want to follow or see! I can&#39;t wash away my Blackness. Coming out completely would destroy a lot of existing relationships I have.
