screenshot of last three paragraphs of moser's AI hater piece (link in moser's post): "I do understand: you want permission. There’s a machine in the corner wrapped in human skin that makes things out of shit and blood to look like whatever you want (as long as you don’t look too closely). You gave one to your teacher and they didn’t notice. Your boss told you to use it after they laid off half the team and it was fine. You fed one to your kids and they liked it. You want to know you can use it sometimes without me thinking less of you. You don’t need me to believe it’s useful, you just want me to be polite about it.

But I am a hater, and I will not be polite. The machine is disgusting and we should break it. The people who build it are vapid shit-eating cannibals glorifying ignorance. I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself.

I became a hater by doing precisely those things AI cannot do: reading and understanding human language; thinking and reasoning about ideas; considering the meaning of my words and their context; loving people, making art, living in my body with its flaws and feelings and life. AI cannot be a hater, because AI does not feel, or know, or care. Only humans can be haters. I celebrate my humanity." end of screenshot text; i highlighted the last two sentences.

screenshot of an email i started, subject line, "Corrections, updates, etc."; in the "to" field i've written "WAIT THERE'S NO EMAIL," cuz i realized i don't know where to send this!

body of email shows a list of corrections to the pro nyc calendar; i've used a red "X" if the event is not happening, a clock emoji if they need to update the date &/or time, & a link emoji if i've given a new link. the text is very unexciting administrative stuff, cut off at the bottom & top, & what's visible concerns listings for monday through wednesday:

“WE DON’T USE PARTIFUL: ON SURVEILLANCE TECH, DISABILITY (IN)JUSTICE, & HOW WAR CRIMES FUNDED A PARTY APP,” white block caps text on black background

screenshot of 19:00 in linked youtube video; frame shows a meme slide from greg's presentation next to a tiny image of greg gesticulating. the meme is the "i just need to lock in" meme, according to "know your meme," except greg's written in "SELF HOST" everywhere... it's a pretty chaotic meme with 3 different parts: 1. on the left side there's a silhouette of a head filled with indecipherable scribbles & a speech bubble saying "i just need to SELF HOST," which then has arrows feeding into other all-caps "SELF HOST" text; 2. on the upper right there's an angry-looking stick figure guy with a thought bubble saying "i just need to SELF HOST"; 3. bottom right there's a happier-looking stick figure with a jaunty hat & a cigar or something who's asking, "Are u okay bro?" of a different stick figure who's sitting at a computer in a scribbly-dark room saying "yes i just need to SELF HOST"... greg showed this during a part of his talk where he's talking about how expensive websites have gotten & it really captures the energy???

screenshot of the top of nyc-noise.com; relevant bit is “🇵🇸 next for PALESTINE (actions, support, PACBI shows): 11/22 rally + property is theft / 29 speedway / wet spot / poetry project / record shop / bossa [BIG LUV 2 PACBI venues; sign on!!]”

below that is less relevant to the post, but says:

screenshot of nyc-noise.com showing the last handful of events for november 15, 2024; i’ve drawn sloppy red stars next to the light & sound design, slink, & purgatory shows cuz they’ve all made PACBI commitments (indicated in the listings). there are stairs at these three events, but there are other gigs coming up that are both PACBI endorsing & wheelchair accessible, like nov 16 at the record shop, or nov 17 at property is theft! wheelchair-accessible events are indicated by ♿️ (fully wheelchair accessible) or ☑️ (accessible with caveats, such as an inaccessible bathroom or need for prior contact) at nyc-noise.com.

image 6 text: PALANTIR'S SURVEILLANCE TECH FUELS DEBILITY: THE SYSTEMIC PROCESS OF UNEVENLY-DELIVERED INJURY & BODILY EXCLUSION. ISRAEL DEBILITATES VIA GUNS & BOMBS & BORDERS (& MORE), IMPAIRING MOBILITY THROUGH CHECKPOINTS & BLOWN LIMBS, & THE HELP OF AMERIKKKAN PALANTIR'S "PREDICTIVE" POLICING, MAPPING SOCIAL MEDIA + NETWORKS TO CENSOR & DETAIN. PARTIFUL MADE MILLIONS FROM THIS WAR MACHINE'S ALUM CLUB: *BRUTAL*

image 5 shows a bunch of screenshots of palantir headlines, with “PALANTIR: BAD” in angled block letters over them. the mostly & fully-visible headlines & subheadings read:
• “CAMBRIDGE ANALYTICA IS BAD, BUT PALANTIR IS FUCKING TERRIFYING. With its vehicle tracking software, the company Peter Thiel co-founded knows you ran that headlight” (it's not written on slide, but this one’s prolly my favorite lol)
• “PALANTIR ENABLES IMMIGRATION AGENTS TO ACCESS INFORMATION FROM THE CIA. According to a set of funding documents, ICE agents can use a Palantir system to access data held by agencies that possess highly classified intelligence, including the CIA.”
• “PETER THIEL’S PALANTIR WAS USED TO BUST RELATIVES OF MIGRANT CHILDREN, NEW DOCUMENTS SHOW. Palantir previously claimed its software was strictly involved in criminal investigations as opposed to deportations. This was false.”
• “Palantir: the 'special ops' tech giant that wields as much real-world power as Google. Peter Thiel's CIA-backed, data-mining firm honed its 'crime predicting' techniques against insurgents in Iraq. The same methods are now being sold to police departments. Will they inflame already tense relations between the public and the police?”
• “Israel-linked CIA-funded Palantir goes public, making espionage mainstream. The firm is closely linked to the CIA and Israel, while standing accused of multiple counts of human rights violations.”
• “Palantir's CEO Finally Admits to Helping ICE Deport Undocumented Immigrants. Palantir has tried to downplay its role in ICE's detainment and deportation of immigrants for years, but Alex Karp said the quiet part loud at Davos.”
• “Palantir powers Ice immigration raids, the defense sector and police surveillance. It is the big tobacco of the tech world” (…okay yeah that’s another pretty harsh burn)

image 4 left shows a screenshot of partiful's homepage: purple-y background, "INSPO" link next to login, picture of phone screenshowing someone's partiful event page talking about "beliebers." main partiful screenshot text is "Highkey parties, lowkey planning; the sexiest way to get all your guests on the same page (literally)"
image 4 text: YES, THE COFOUNDERS OF *THIS* WORKED AT PALANTIR FROM 2014-2018; WITH THAT TRAINING, JUST ASK SNOWDEN OR THE CIA OR IOF: PARTIFUL CAN DEF TRACK YOUR SEXY GUESTS!!!

I CALL PARTIFUL “DRONE PARTY" CUZ THE COFOUNDERS OF THE "PARTIES FOR HOT PEOPLE” APP WORKED FOR, & STILL GET MONEY FROM, THIEL'S MOST MURDEROUS BABY, PALANTIR

$screenshot of nyc-noise.com showing text above a monthly calendar. the website kinda looks like it was made in 2002; slightly clunky, no images except for access symbol emojis, way too much text (cuz i’m a wordy bitch) & way too many links (cuz i want to make it easy for people to find things). text reads: nyc noise always incomplete WELCOME TO NYC NOISE 2.0 🇵🇸 next for PALESTINE (actions, support, PACBI shows): 10/17 protest + property is theft / l&sd / purgatory / benefit, 10/18 protest / protest + p.i.t. / l&sd [BIG LUV for PACBI venues; sign on!!] → ARTIST SURVEY ← re: venue pressure 4 PACBI ACCESS LEGEND: 🅰️ all ages, ♿️ accessible, ☑️ access w/ caveats, 📶 stairs / not accessible, 💡 strobes, 🔄 air purifier, 🌀 free / notaflof, "OUTDOORS!" = open-air + 😷 MASK UP to keep ppl safe, protect our rights, & upset our loser leaders !!! NO LIVE NATION VENUES / BANK GIGS / SUMMERSTAGE !!! DONATE $5/month cuz my ~vibe~ ≠ job prospects ¯\_(ツ)_/¯$
