PolicyViz was one of the first podcasts where @kanarinka.bsky.social and I were able to share our work on DATA FEMINISM, so it felt very full-circle to talk with Jon again as I prepare to release DATA BY DESIGN

MIT spent $3 million on 500 AI-capable surveillance cameras while laying people off, shutting down libraries, and canceling journal subscriptions. In this article, 4 faculty & I discuss our new arts initiative to celebrate surveillance and repression on college campuses: fnl.mit.edu/how-we-learn...

over the past few weeks several AI evaluation/cybersecurity experts have explained how what's happening is a result of human incompetence rather than "AI going rogue". I'm begging the media to show a shred of journalistic integrity and stop parroting what altman or amodei say

Catherine has a new book out on fighting technofascism - the alliance between big tech and global authoritarianism - and is offering an open, free course this coming year that looks like a must for activists in this space.
