   TDWS: So There's a Russian Plague...?

   Have you been reading about the Russian plague situation with a haunting sense it’s early March 2020? Yeah, us too. Lawrence Winnerman (https://substack.com/profile/314034871-lawrence-winnerman) wrote the article below to address what we know, what we wish we knew, and what to look for. Then we had this conversation to bring the story to life. We hope you find it helpful. We’re not panicking. Concerned, but not panicking. More to come as this story unfolds… Thank you Noble Blend (https://substack.com/profile/21659563-noble-blend), Jai Porter 🇨🇦 (https://substack.com/profile/532655801-jai-porter), Laura Tompkins (https://substack.com/profile/86579456-laura-tompkins), Rose (https://substack.com/profile/77809180-rose), Change Champion (https://substack.com/profile/292562810-change-champion), and many others for tuning into my live video with Lawrence Winnerman (https://substack.com/profile/314034871-lawrence-winnerman)!

   A 13-Year-Old, a Judge, and No Lawyer Plus an AI Torture Chamber & The Cornell 7: F@#ked Up Friday

   This week’s Fucked Up Friday had a common thread, and Libbie Grant (https://substack.com/@thelibbiegrant) named it before the vote: “It’s all misogyny, man.” Dana brought the Cornell 7 case, now in Letitia James’s hands, and one line from Jane Doe that explains why survivors blame themselves first. Libbie, whose new novel The Ended World (https://www.amazon.com/Ended-World-Libbie-Grant/dp/B0H777DST6) imagines an AI waking up, brought the developer who built an AI “torture chamber” on GitHub. I brought Angel, the thirteen-year-old who argued his own deportation case alone. In the room, it gets raw fast. Dana takes apart the right’s favorite talking point—why did she act friendly afterward?—with the answer every woman already knows: we’re trained to blame ourselves. The room goes incandescent over Angel’s judge, and the chat starts crying. Then Libbie, a self-described stoner optimist, makes the case that we are going to come out the other side of this. * [27:41] Dana reads the line from the New York Times that shows the moment Jane Doe first understood what had been done to her, a week after the party, in an anonymous Greek-life forum (https://www.thedailywhatevershow.com/p/breaking-the-cornell-7-case-now-belongs?r=831ejl&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web). * [30:27] Lawrence on Julie Roginsky’s Lift Our Voices and its AI tool built to read your NDA and find the ways out (https://www.liftourvoices.org/lov-ai-tool), plus the New York push that could carry an NDA ban nationwide. * [36:42] Libbie on the developer who built an AI “torture chamber,” and the question nobody wants to answer (https://cybernews.com/ai-news/ai-torture-chamber-github-model-welfare/): why someone’s first move with a thing that might suffer is to hurt it. * [40:46] Lawrence’s story: a thirteen-year-old named Angel, a Texas immigration judge, and a choice no child should ever be handed (https://www.thedailywhatevershow.com/p/fucked-up-friday-13-year-old-own-lawyer-deported?r=831ejl&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web). * [50:33] The vote. The chat picks the most fucked up story of the week, and everybody loses. Thanks for listening!

   TDWS: Every Woman You Know Is Reeling About The Cornell 7

   News of “The Cornell 7” has torn through the internet at such breakneck speed this week, I invited the amazing Michelle Kinney from The Mayday Network (https://substack.com/profile/337730986-the-mayday-network) to come deconstruct it all. I also published three (yes, three) stories already this week on this evolving story, which you can read here, in order of appearance: This story is gaining traction and visibility because Jane Doe spoke up with her story, and we’ve continued to elevate it—so Cornell and the police and politicians have had no choice but to take action. Keep sharing these stories. It’s working. Huge thanks to Michelle for sharing her thoughts and wisdom and to Ellie Leonard (https://substack.com/profile/39376636-ellie-leonard), Jai Porter 🇨🇦 (https://substack.com/profile/532655801-jai-porter), Gretchen Theodorakis (https://substack.com/profile/15661846-gretchen-theodorakis), Angie (https://substack.com/profile/243990466-angie), Christiane mccafferty (https://substack.com/profile/313993079-christiane-mccafferty), and so many others for tuning in and sharing your thoughts during my live video with The Mayday Network (https://substack.com/profile/337730986-the-mayday-network)!
