Mubi CEO Responds to Backlash Over Sequoia Investment
Mubi's Efe Cakarel has issued a letter detailing its relationship with Sequoia, and unveiled the creation of a watchdog body and fund for artists.

The wee one is sick (again) so he'll be going to the doctor's instead of childcare tomorrow before being dropped off at his mum's.
Childcare: the gift that keeps on giving.
Too many people have to work and therefore the little ones go to kindy and childcare even when they're not well.
Because the parents have to work and feel they have no choice.

Remember the people who said AI wouldn’t take away jobs? The current LLM/AI space is absolute shit at actually doing real work… but they are cutting and taking jobs anyway.
Oh, and we went from a Liberal Canadian government that at least had a Universal Basic Income on their radar… to one that is going to cut 1000s of federal jobs and, you guessed it, get AI to do stuff instead.
Liberal Government acting like Conservative government 😢

So look, if you talk to me about the job threat from the things we currently call “AI,” well…
…if where you’re going with that is “The concentration of wealth is an existential crisis! Establish UBI! 99% marginal tax rate! Capital gains tax! Wealth tax! Abolish billionaires!” then yes, I’m •all• ears. My pitchfork is already sharpened.
But if where you’re going is “Get in on it now while you still can! Buy the AI vendors’ products! Drink radium for that youthful glow!” then…kthanksbye. I am not going to be a vector for your marketing propaganda, no matter how agitated you are.

Afstand nemen van [bijdragen aan] genocide volgens de verplichting van internationaal recht is natuurlijk belangrijk...maar waarom is daar zoveel aandacht voor in relatie tot bijvoorbeeld discussies over solidariteit, de super rijken, terugdraaien van privatiseringen, UBI, de veestapel/gijzeling door big Agro...
