My books El Narco and Gangster Warlords were used without my permission to train AI. These books, like of other writers, come from years of sweat and risks. Tech bros think it's just all theirs to take as they like. I'm signing the open letter and encourage other writers to.

Enrique Dussel, one of our greatest philosophers in Latin America, passed away last night. His contributions to decolonial and Marxist thought and philosophy of liberation will continue to inform our interrogations of colonialism, imperialism, & capitalism. Rest in Power.

Julian Assange has just celebrated his first birthday in freedom after many years of persecution. The government was forced to admit in court that his only crime was journalism, and that no one had ever come to harm from it. That's called winning.
