I genuinely think one of the most important tasks ahead is that we must never, ever give an inch to the idea that we have an obligation to treat any AI as a being of moral or ethical value.

If your spidey sense isn't telling you that this is definitely some kind of shady backdoor, permanent data theft vehicle, then you still believe that billionaires care about you

Btw, I don't believe in p(doom), but using AI as a tool of authoritarian control is 100% possible, and we need a legal structure to block this and a philosophical one that says we should kick people doing this in the teeth. "Tech should serve humanity, not rule over us." - Andraste (more or less)

🧵People complaining about ppl's ~apathy~ in the face of this regime exhaust me. You have to ignore SO much information to make your fatalism make any sense & maybe you could support a mutual aid group instead? Just a few of the facts & data you have to ignore: 1. Coverage of ICE facility protests

When they plunder your shit for their chatbots, the first question you should ask is "can we use this to fire even more copyeditors???"
Search looks through the last 36 hours of public posts for your words, "exact phrases", #hashtags, @handles and websites, and also finds posts about the same thing by meaning. New posts join about every 10 minutes. We only include posts whose authors allow logged-out viewing (Bluesky) or search (Mastodon, indexable accounts), and we re-check Bluesky authors each time we show a page. Likes and follower counts never decide the order. For meaning matches, query text is turned into a fingerprint on Wildroot’s own server (EmbeddingGemma-300M); it is never sent to another service. Wildroot does not save query text to disk. Looking for posts like one you have? Similar posts. How to opt out.
