"the #AI #voice manipulation thing where you can take recordings of a public figure’s voice and make them say anything make me SO uncomfortable. Even the silly goofy ones give me #ethical nausea. It just seems really dangerous to normalize that sort of casual distortion of reality and idc if that makes me sound like an anti-technology doomer"

@intransitivelie It is a really tough #ethical question. There are clear answers, but not a universally agreed “right” answer.

“Do I work with bigots to avoid universal catastrophe?” is the old Trolley Problem at mega scale.

I hope I’ll personally never have to decide whether to work with a Nazi to save the world or let it all burn.

Facing a wide array of #criminal charges, #Trump is using money from small #donors to defend himself legally — a practice that raises #ethical questions.

…abuse of donors? …Trump is raising money for one stated reason — his run for office — & apparently using some of it for another, his #legal troubles….

Evidence that there are some people who have no #shame. Two people turned down gongs in Liz #Truss's resignation #honours list. But 14 others have accepted! Imagine spending the rest of your life as Sir or Lord Something and everyone knowing you got it from Liz Truss. These people are on a different #ethical planet than most of us

Top research on #ethical #dogfood by @ethicalconsumer: https://www.ethicalconsumer.org/food-drink/shopping-guide/ethical-dog-food

Ted, Ralph (both two years old) & Bob (14) eat #Yarrah #Organic & #Vegan dog food (sometimes supplemented by my home cooked food - also organic & vegan) as have all the other dogs in my life, all of whom lived long and happy lives.

From the article:

In terms of nutrients, the UK’s Pet Food Manufacturers Association endorses nutritionally complete vegan diets for dogs, and says that “nutrients that were previously only available from animal-based ingredients can now be made synthetically or be sourced from novel ingredients”.

There are a variety of ways to fulfil nutritional requirements from different sources, and the nutritional guidelines for dog food nutrition from FEDIAF (the European Pet Food Industry) are seen as a gold standard.

The #Meat Paradox: We Like #Animals, So Why Do We Keep Eating Them? | Technology Networks

In terms of political ideologies, greater conservatism appears to be linked to viewing #vegetarianism and #veganism in negative ways and justifying meat consumption as "natural", "necessary", "nice" and "normal", with individuals holding right-wing political beliefs being more willing to consume meat. On the other hand, left-wing participants see vegetarianism and #veganism more positively, including in #ethical and #environmental context.

Oh yes! And well done. Markets are wonderful sources of sustainable and ethical items, often made locally too. And, then there is the pleasure of spotting a vintage item that you either remember from your distant and hazy past, or did not know existed but exactly fulfils the need of brightening your surroundings, and being a talking point, for next to no money.
There is a market near all of us, if we but take the time to hunt them out.

This is a reminder that solving #GlobalWarming cannot be solved by "#EthicalCapitalism" or "#ConsciousConsumerism" by us, the #prolétariat, but the transferring of #production to the people to create #ethical products, not for #profit, but for #people. #socialism #communism
