Meta Is Warned That Facial Recognition Glasses Will Arm Sexual Predators More than 70 organizations, including the ACLU, EPIC, and Fight for the Future, say the AI smart glasses feature would endanger abuse victims, immigrants, and LGBTQ+ people.

We told Meta their new glasses will be weaponized by stalkers, abusers, federal agents and sexual predators to harm some of the most vulnerable in our communities. www.wired.com/story/meta-r...

I'd really like to see leadership calling for impeachment and removal, regardless of whether they have the votes to get it done. Same way we called for marriage equality before we had the votes. A leader's job is to lead. If a genocidal threat isn't impeachable, then nothing is.

*sigh*
If your Kickstarter video/image is AI, I won't back it.
If your book has an AI cover, I won't read it.
If you're a public supporter of AI use for creative work, I will unfollow you.
I cannot stress enough how offensive I find AI use in the arts. It is outright theft, it is lazy, it is gross.

CJEU press release: Member State legislation which does not permit the amendment of the gender data of one of its nationals who has exercised his or her right to freedom of movement is contrary to EU law A Bulgarian national was registered at birth as being male, with a name, personal identification number and identity documents corresponding to that sex. She currently lives in Italy, where she has begun hormone therapy, and now presents herself as a woman. She instituted proceedings before the Bulgarian courts seeking a declaration that she is a female person and to have her civil status data amended on her birth certificate. Despite the medical opinions and legal assessments confirming the gender identity claimed, her request was rejected. According to national legislation, as interpreted by the plenary assembly of civil chambers of the Bulgarian Supreme Court of Cassation, the term ‘sex’ must be understood in its biological sense, excluding any amendment of the particulars relating to sex, name and identification number. The public interest, based on the moral and/or religious values of Bulgarian society, thus prevails over the interests of transgender persons. Hearing the dispute, the Bulgarian Supreme Court of Cassation has doubts as to the compatibility of that legislation with EU law and has referred the matter to the Court of Justice. In its judgment, the Court holds that EU law precludes legislation of a Member State which does not permit the amendment of the gender data in the civil status registers of one of its nationals who has exercised his or her right to move and reside freely in another Member State. The Court emphasises first of all that, while the issue of identity documents falls within the competence of the Member States, they must exercise that competence in compliance with EU law...

Huge trans rights ruling from the EU's top court - if someone moves to another EU country and transitions, their home country can't refuse to amend their registration details to match their lived gender identity

Trans New Yorkers Deserve Better Than Mamdani's Inaction On Trans Youth Care Closures The mayor has immediate steps he can take to ensure continuity of care for trans youth.

1. Its been a week since NYU Langone ended its trans youth care program.

Then Sinai followed a few days ago.

There are immediate steps Mamdani can take, and he refuses to do so. When asked about those steps, his office has chosen not to comment repeatedly.

Columbia says DHS detained student after agents entered university building Acting university president says agents misrepresented themselves to gain entry to the residential building

NEW: ICE agents reportedly lied their way into Columbia housing, without a warrant, to arrest yet another student.

This comes almost one year after plainclothes ICE agents arrested Mahmoud Khalil at his Columbia residence, also without a warrant. ICE has no place on our campuses or in our streets.

Trans people just want to live but they are constantly under attack by rich pedophiles.

Thanks! ^-^

Ty! It’s going pretty well so far. The meds make me tired and I have limited reach but otherwise I’ve been able to do most of my normal activities around the house :]

Tysm! ^u^

Ty! Achy and the nausea comes and goes but otherwise chillin

Surprised to find out that I had a bit more mobility than I expected ^-^

One day into my top surgery recovery 🙌🙌🙌

I'm sure this will be a gift for stalkers and domestic abusers.

This is your regular reminder that the data broker industry must be destroyed.

Bilbo looking at his phone top on bottom is ChatGPT After all, why not? Why shouldn't I keep it? You're absolutely right — you found it, it's been with you a long while, and it's only natural to feel fond of something that's served you so well, especially when someone like Gandalf suddenly seems to want it for himself.

It absolutely fucking is, and here's 95 reasons why.

Difficult to understate what will happen if any of these bills pass. And shame on @warren.senate.gov for co-sponsoring KOSA. If she doesn’t change course she’s an enemy of the LGBTQ+ that she supposedly supports

Democrats officially going all in on the mealy mouthed “ICE needs training” narrative.

No. ABOLISH ICE.

Counter point: I will criticize and boycott every single god damn studio till they get the fucking point. Every studio that vows not to use AI has my money. Its this fucking simple.

Transformative work of the day, I have friends everywhere edition

recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best. It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI
