The UK Government have launched a consultation on whether AI should be allowed to scrape content online with complete disregard for copyright.

The consultation is stuffed to the brim with technobabble buzzwords and jargon that frames AI as wonderful and that this is a foregone conclusion.

You can submit a response via the link above and tell them what you really think.

UK peeps: help oppose gov changing copyright law in favour of AI scrapers, see the guide for help in contacting your MP, the consultation group, your rep (if you have one for works you make), and how to complete the consultation form

HAPPY SANS SWEEP QUEEN DEATH DAY

[possiblyunhinged]

It's laughable that the media, which exists to serve the interests of the affluent, is now clutching its pearls over Luigi Mangione’s so-called 'cold-blooded' murder of a health insurance CEO.

For decades, these same outlets have done the legwork to disillusion us to suffering—convincing us that 'justified' killings exist, even excusing the deaths of countless civilians at the hands of US and UK military forces in the name of the 'greater good.' But now that this detachment doesn’t work in favour of the people who pay their bills, it’s suddenly a problem—not for innocent civilians, of course, but for billionaires. Right?

It reminds me of that line from '71: 'War is rich cunts getting stupid cunts to kill poor cunts.' It's always been about protecting the interests of the rich, manipulating the rest of us into doing their dirty work. And now that even their most loyal bootlickers can’t summon sympathy for a man whose wealth was built on the suffering of others, the irony is sickening.

And sure, maybe this sounds 'extreme,' but when we’re so disconnected that even working-class people struggle to relate to one another, how are we supposed to empathise with multi-millionaires whose fortunes are carved from our pain?

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF GOD BLESS

I've seen little about it so, Just an FYI what's been unfolding in England today. Far-right protestors are literally trying to kill asylum seekers in hotels.

In Rotherham, Yorkshire fascists have tried to set a hotel on fire with migrants staying there. Some signalling cut-throat gestures at the people staying in the rooms.

In Tamworth, Staffordshire the very same thing is happening. Another hotel has been set on fire with asylum seekers still inside alongside racist graffiti.

Other similar protests that are going uncountered are happening in Middlesbrough, Hartlepool, Stoke-on-Trent and many more areas, chances are there will be one somewhere by you if things keep going the way they are. Nazis are literally strolling about unchallenged and these people are marching happily with them. There are more sensitive videos online which I won't share here but there are groups of nazis chasing down and circling black people in cities and beating them up, indian and chinese takeaways being targetted, turkish barbers being set alight and there have been incidents of muslims being assaulted and even stabbed.

BUT... There are success stories from UK cities where riots have failed due to no turnout or due to antifascists driving far-right pricks out of the city.

Cardiff, Wales - About 5 fascists turn up compared to 500 conuter-protestors. They failed to get anyone here despite trying two times.

Liverpool, Merseyside - A significant EDL mob is marched out of the city and fought against. Counter-protestors form a ring around a mosque being targetted.

Bristol, City of - antifascists block the entrance to a hotel that nazis are trying to get into as well as a fierce citywide push against the EDL and racism.

Nottingham, East Midlands - A huge antifascist counter protest outnumbers EDL and the far-right, preventing a riot from occuring.

There are many many more of these riots planned. If you're in the UK get organised and be prepared to fight alongside the people who make our communities stong and resiliant and make our country and cities a wonderful vibrant and friendly place to be. Help by whatever means you can. If you are not from the UK then please signal boost this because this needs to stop this nastiness from spreading and to make nazis afraid again.

Fascists are up to their old tricks again, this National Front sticker with a razor blade beneath was found in Dunton Green railway station but they’re mobile this weekend for protests all over the country so be careful.

broke: ‘britain’s always gonna be racist, what else is new, what’s the point in caring?’

woke:

don’t ever forget, they’re the (shitty shitty) minority and they’re very easily outnumbered
