Happy Bi Visibility Day to my Bi Jewish Friends, and my non-Jewish Bi Friends,
Bisexuals face enormous erasure and negative stereotypes even today and this is incredibly unfair and wrong.
I see you and I stand with you.

Shana Tova and the best wishes for the coming year.
Blaming Jews for violent antisemitism is vile.
This is one step from "Hitler must have had a reason..."
In this case, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem had spread hate and fear that Jews were going to "take over" and this sparked an Arab pogrom of Jews in Mandatory Palestine, with over 130 Jews killed and over 400 Jews injured.
This was exactly the kind of violence that the Jews in Mandatory Palestine were experiencing that made them feel they needed a representative government and directly addresses the lie that "everything was peaceful until Israel".

It's very frequent on the Fediverse that I see someone Jewish interacting with someone I know to be antisemitic but who probably just doesn't know it yet.
I'm torn between warning them and letting them live in blissful ignorance.

This is a very deceptive post that one could argue is Nazi Inversion.
While it's true that the some Palestinian prisoners were marked on their arm, and this is morally reprehensible.There was a major investigation about it and soldiers were disciplined.
The second photo is of a Holocaust survivor, not of a Palestinian prisoner.
The prisoners weren't tatooed, they had their arms marked with markers.
There's a huge difference and in conflating these two, you are trivializing the Holocaust.

Let's be clear: Ben Gvir and his Jewish Power party (yes, it's actually called that) are extreme right wing Jewish supremacists. They are a stain on humanity of the same sort of racist we see and condemn in other societies.
Nonetheless, even at their worst, there is no real comparison between the actions of Ben Gvir with the actions of the Nazis, who systematically killed 2/3rds of Europe's Jews, more than six million people, in brutal state-run violence.
Comparisons to Jews to Nazis has traditionally been understood to be not only extremely antisemitic but also illegal in Germany, as a form of trivializing the Holocaust, aka Holocaust denialism.
And yet here we see two Germans doing exactly that:

I can't imagine imagine being so hateful against Jews that you respond to a report about Jewish schools in the UK needing to protect the lives of children with a reply about how it's basically their fault and blaming UK school headmasters for actions of a military thousands of kilometers away.
But I don't have to imagine, I can see it right here:

Accusing a Jew of creating/spreading propaganda (rather than just being wrong) is in itself a well trodden trope. It's the "Jewish lies" plus Dual Loyalty,.
I address my response to the "substance" of what they said here:
https://babka.social/@serge/117065452171638596
but to be sure, this is antisemitic harassment for several reasons:
1. Disagreeing doesn't make you the creator of "propaganda"
2. Simply declaring "It's not antisemitic" doesn't make it so.
3.It's harassment for #1 but also the idea that I "f** up" because I said something the racist disagrees with is an indicator that this is not a post made in good faith.
4. The argument of "I get to say whatever I want." when the topic is "How to avoid saying antisemitic things." is... a choice.
With only 25 posts since 2022, they decide to spend 1 of them on harassing me shows a dedication to their cause... whatever cause that is. #FediAntisemitism

I'd hope that scientists would be a bit smarter than this and use their critical thinking about taking apart economic from social from mechanical and scientific issues, but what you're arguing isn't about science, it's "I hear a word and I bring out my pitchfork and torch."
You're right that I tried to answer you, and I could even provide a mental framework for addressing some of the ills of the way AI is used today, but you seem wrapped up in a narrative.

I think you're asking the wrong question, but also to the wrong person.
I'm in favor of a total transformation of copyright- making it shorter, requiring registration again, requiring attribution, and generally making more material available to mankind. I want copyright to be shorter, more limited, and where it exists, better.
Your profile says you're a scientist. I'm not a scientist, but I worked with scientists and science operates on the idea of shared knowledge. Copyright is an anathema to that, it's the opposite of that, so when I hear "more copyright", I know it's the wrong answer.
AI, whether you like it or not, is a field of science. So maybe the thing you should be thinking about is what specifically about AI don't you like, rather than just "I don't like AI".
By way of analogy, I'm not a big fan of Dr. Josef Mengele, but the response to hating Dr. Mengela isn't to ask "How do we stop doctors?" but to think about what specifically we don't like and address that.

Are there any licenses that prevent use by genAI companies ? Or generally for-profit companies? 🙏
#Licenses #noGenAI
@nprofile1q...
Aside from being non-FLOSS, these license are also not effective in that they are demanding something from copyright that copyright doesn't do.
Copyleft licenses say "Normally you wouldn't be able to do XYZ, but we allow you to do X, Y, Z under some terms." These licenses go further than copyright does, which violates Freedom 0- making them non-FLOSS, but also generally ineffective.
I'm not a lawyer, but I suspect this is license theater- it won't do what people think it does and wouldn't hold up in court.
