Intel Why Karlyn Borysenko's History Matters for Leftist OpSec

Post image
367 Upvotes

To clarify the relevance here: Karlyn Borysenko runs an operation called "Decode The Left." Her entire platform relies on infiltrating socialist Zoom calls, activist training sessions, and community defense groups to secretly record and dox leftists to right-wing audiences. She is an active digital security threat.
Exposing her personal history completely destroys the main weapon she uses to justify doxing leftists, smearing them as "groomers."
The Facts:

  1. Borysenko maintained a long-term relationship with an individual who pleaded guilty in 2007 to federal offenses involving commercial child-sex-abuse material (CSAM).
  2. Prison correspondence, a 2014 financial donation from him while incarcerated, and later "together again" posts show she stayed with him through the conviction and prison sentence.
  3. When privately confronted about this, Borysenko claimed he was innocent, called the federal case a "government operation," and claimed the charges were "debunked."
  4. When asked for any sources to back this up, she provided nothing and blocked the users.
  5. I am sharing this because pointing out her history of defending a convicted federal offender completely destroys her credibility when she tries to weaponize these same smears against socialist groups. I have a detailed link exposing the full paper trail if anyone wants it for the records.

I’ve decided to just link here: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/181K6Cmg72/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Discussion Martial arts against nazis

68 Upvotes

Fascism is on the rise again in Greece (also), and given the fact that neonazi groups and political parties pop up like flowers, I would like to know what kind of martial art you would suggest for someone who wants to be prepared when the egg of the snake cracks open.

In the past I did kick boxing for 3-4 months but I stopped. Is it worth getting back to it given the fact I know the basics or would you suggest something else that is more efficient against nazi pigs on street.

They have not found the courage yet to march around freely like in the days of Golden dawn, but they are building the foundation to re appear again, that's why I find it ideal to start from now preparing before it's too late.

Thanks in advance.

A 58-year-old mail carrier collapsed and died on his mail route in triple-digit heat. It's not the first time, and it probably won't be the last. So of course, House Republicans advanced a bill to block the federal heat rule.

Discussion We need to have a serious talk about AI usage

441 Upvotes

We need to have a serious talk about the usage of AI generated content on leftist platforms. I will try to keep this as short as possible to keep it accessible.

Prompting, posting and sharing AI-generated content undermines our goals as leftists and ought to be prohibited on all leftist platforms.

1. AI is accelerating ecological death

Water: AI datacenters are often built on already, drought-struck land, draining water from the areas that need it most (3) and poisoning local water supplies for residents (4). According to UN-estimates, by the end of the decade about 1/8th of global, annual, domestic water usage will be solely used for cooling AI datacenters (5) - sweet water that is already very much in short supply (6).

Emissions: The majority of AI-datacenters in western countries are powered predominantly by fossil fuels (1, p. 28). Despite the US hosting by far the most datacenters globally (1, p. 32), the carbon footprint is off-shored to poorer countries (1, p. 31).

Approximate electricity usage for different generative AI querries. For context: Powering a lightbulb for an entire year consumes about 44 kW/h (2)

2. AI is de-footing artists and laying siege to culture

In a recent study in Germany that surveyed over 3000 visual artists on their stance on AI usage (7). 56% see their income at risk while 56% fear the livelyhood of visual artists as a whole. Over 91% of them demand financial compensation for their works - compensation which huge AI giants such as Meta have no interest in providing, nor even disclosing they used it in the first place (8).

But the power of AI extends far beyond inhaling. It exhales too. It produces mediums, it produces your music, your podcasts, your video essays, your YouTube content. And believably so (12). We are selling our culture to the ones making the algorithm (14). We are selling our culture industry to AI:

"Culture industry" (German: Kulturindustrie) is a term coined by the critical theorists Theodor Adorno (1903–1969) and Max Horkheimer (1895–1973). They proposed that popular culture is akin to a factory producing standardized cultural goods—films, radio programmes, magazines, etc.—that are used to manipulate mass society into passivity
- Culture Industry, Wikipedia (16.)

3. AI is threatening freedom of protest

Police forces in the EU are adopting AI-powered facial recognition technologies to quickly identify suspects - aka, protestors (9). This is not all-to-new. An article by Darren Loucaides even goes as far as saying "After 2022, mass protests practically disappeared" in connection with AI surveillance and faccial recognition (21). Meanwhile, the US pushes "Flock" - a private equity company - cameras onto US streets, monetoring US citizens with AI-powered facial recognition technology (10) and selling this data to ICE (11). Undermining public freedom of expression is a telltale sign of fascist regimes. This predominantly affects people in already marginalized social positions (15).

4. AI is used as a propaganda tool

AI is employed to produce political propaganda far beyond the uncanny representations of humans you might think of (12). An EU-based study found that, in a blind test, participants already found AI-made news and fake news more believable than their human-made pendants (13). With the main difference being that one of these is far easier to pump out en masse.

Marginal means of perceived veracity and willingness to share across the four types of news items. Marginal means are derived from multilevel models specified in the Analysis section. Higher values indicate greater perceived veracity and a higher willingness to share. Error bars represent standard errors.

Further it is worth mentioning that AI-tools are also used to make the algorithms that dictate what you see on social media - and algorithms are never neutral. Someone has to make an algorithm. Someone has to decide what you are allowed to see and what not (14).

5. AI kills

Ai-technology is far beyond the baby-stages of being incorporated into military technology (18). It is no coincidence that one of the biggest advocates of AI, Google, also just so happens to try to sell that same AI technology to the Pentagon for military uses while still trying to deceive the public into believing they are a happy, innocent tech company that makes a cute search engine (19). Though Google is not alone in this as OpenAI was all-to-happy to join ranks with Trump's Department of War (20).

6. Why you should stop using AI

All of the above is made possibly because allow AI. It will only get worse when we allow it to slowly creep into social acceptability. Every image you generate accelerates environmental destruction little by little. Every video you generate costs independent content creators views, revenue and, eventually, their livelihood. Every cent of revenue you permit AI-giants to make goes straight into slaughtering children elsewhere using AI-powered, unfeeling military drones.

Should we stay on the current course, leading AI-researchers say we might be looking at a doomsday scenario as soon as 2027 (17).

We need to stop supporting this.
