Stanford is prosecuting 11 pro-Palestine protesters on felony vandalism charges & demanding $300K+ in restitution. Consider signing this petition to drop the charges: https://actionnetwork.org/forms/support-the-stanford-12-drop-the-charges-on-students
Unsurprising although disgusting to see my alma mater on the wrong side of genocide.
Watch them use the activism of the students whose lives they’re trying to destroy in some orientation story in a few decades.

I will never forget the genocidal mania among the Ethiopian intelligentsia. It was a popular genocide, with your “progressive” diaspora falling over themselves to deny and justify it. The least we can do is raise awareness about what has happened and what is about to happen.
You can find our work thus far on https://www.dair-institute.org/tigray-genocide/.
More importantly, we have put out a statement describing the unbridled war mongering currently spreading on all social media platforms, further setting the stage for all out war between Ethiopia and Eritrea: https://www.dair-institute.org/blog/tigray-social/. Please send it over to anyone who will listen & can do something about it. Our people can’t afford another war.
If you do nothing else, please watch this short video narrated by Fasica, Nuredin, and exiled Ethiopian journalist nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyqpqsnwfufwxtdg2psfxwdgs85fhl6r9fn62jd5mn2rtskmsg9gerqhs0vcjx4

And lets not even get started with the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Turkey. All the cheap drones fueling wars.
EVERYONE is plundering Africa.
The wars Europeans start are "world wars" but the wars in Africa are "tribal wars" 🤔
During the communications black out, he used satellite image analysis to uncover Eritrean refugee camps that were intentionally burnt. To this day, 70,000 Eritreans are unaccounted for.
Zecharias continues to uncover drone massacres in Ethiopia, by the government. Take a look at this cover story on nostr:npub1m07d9and7df6ca4pmlxqm7gewa7g46x6kz32n4nuh5ke3vv9muwq86we8q.

As my mom says, success brings many (fake) friends.
The added context is gold 😂
"Kneschke’s survey found that the average revenue from the Contributors Fund was $0.0078 per image while the median was $0.0069 per image. Assuming those numbers are accurate, a photographer with around 2,000 images would make roughly $15 — not exactly an earth-shatting amount."

Its hard to believe racism will ever die to be honest my lord.
Great talk by nostr:npub1e0a6n84krygh2qc3ajptu4fa4ma0qy53acz8smsyhztgxljxkghsureww0 about what are ok use cases of synthetic text and what aren't.
But even for those, we need to ask the question of whether those use cases are worth the environmental impact.
"Hanania mentioned all of these men in a June Substack post while describing what he celebrated as the “Tech Right,” a new Silicon Valley-based conservative movement that, among other beliefs, embraces transhumanism and “longtermism.”"
"And this October, Hanania is scheduled to teach a seminar at Stanford University’s Graduate School of Business. The school did not respond to HuffPost’s request for comment..."Peter Thiel,...expressed excitement over the book’s takedown of diversity, equity and inclusion programs. “DEI will never d-i-e from words alone,” Thiel wrote. “Hanania shows we need the sticks and stones of government violence to exorcize the diversity demon."
"A third billionaire, Peter Thiel, provided a blurb to promote Hanania’s book, “The Origins of Woke,” which HarperCollins plans to publish this September. In October, Hanania is scheduled to deliver a lecture at Stanford...."A little over a decade ago, he felt compelled to hide his racist views behind a pseudonym. In 2023, Hanania is a right-wing star, championed by some of the country’s wealthiest men, even as he’s sounding more and more like his former white supremacist nom de plume"
"He opposed “miscegenation” and “race-mixing.” And once, while arguing that Black people cannot govern themselves, he cited the neo-Nazi author of “The Turner Diaries,” the infamous novel that celebrates a future race war..."The 37-year-old has been published by The New York Times and The Washington Post. He delivered a lecture to the Yale Federalist Society and was interviewed by the Harvard College Economics Review. He appeared twice on “Tucker Carlson Tonight,”"
Important reporting by Christopher Mathias. Same shit, different day. "Richard Hanania, a visiting scholar at the University of Texas, used the pen name...to write articles where he identified himself as a “race realist.” He expressed support for eugenics and the forced sterilization of “low IQ” people, who he argued were most often Black."
"Finally, we need to encourage understanding of the power of a story. The Existential Risk
account of AI is a story that presents AI as a ‘god-to-come’–one that can only be placated and
controlled by certain voices. The same voices call for the regulation of AI under their own
guidance and in such a way that the status quo of contemporary capitalism–the current value
system of AI–cannot be upended. The story has many ways of ending, not just the one we are
being told"
