Resisting Mental Health Ward Surveillance with Stop Oxevision
In this episode we talk to two activists, Hat and Nell, from the organisation Stop Oxevision, who are fighting against the rollout of surveillance technologies used on mental health wards in the United Kingdom (UK). We explore how surveillance on mental health wards affects patients who never know exactly when they're being watched, and how surveillance technologies in mental health wards are implemented within a much wider context of unequal power relationships. We also reflect on resistance, solidarity, and friendship as well as the power of activism to share information and combat oppressive technologies. Please note that this episode does contain distressing content, including references to self harm.

    How about finding attornies skilled in Qi Tam actions, for frauds in institutions that take Federal funds? Dementia with Lewy Bodies, and Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, are both worse than Alzheimers. In theory we're on the cusp of breakthrough research, as it's been just over a decade since emerging technology has enabled in vivo research, rather than historically (as far back as the 1920's when Lewy Bodies were identified) being microtomes on brain tissue if an autopsy was possible.

    I would also add, that those who train in maths at such a high level, are interested in finance, or industry, aside from academia with its virtues...they have highly desirable niche skills which can earn people a lot of money, they may be surrounded and brought up in a corporate and competitive culture which prioritises and emphasises money, capital, at all costs.

    *POC is an evil term that means hate white people. What do Black people in the US have in common? ONLY one thing, they are Black. ANY statement made about them other than what they have in common is probably racist and is defiantly of little value when applying a general rule to individual persons. You are basically claiming ignorance, remedial and substandard ways of thinking regarding things of great importance. Obama's daughters and a poor Black kid living in the projects of Detroit are treated as the same in the minds of the uneducated imbeciles and those brainwashed in Universities today. No valid reason given. No science to back up why. Why ignore every relevant factor? Individual Rights MAKES you see the details. [Willful] ignorance allows you to ignore them. Equality is honorable, equity is just pure evil and the root cause for the mass murdering of the 20th century. Outnumbering all the wars in the 20th century. Socialism, Fascism and Communism. ALL are far left ideologies that reject religion because it gets in the way of atrocities. No, Hitler was not Catholic [went to church once as a kid]. He was more like a Pagan. Wars killed about 150 million [incl. 2 world wars] and those 3 inanities killed well over 200 million. None during wartime and all by their own governments. What is more tragic? A soldier in a war dying or a civilian who died by the hands of their own government? Wise up.*

    One perspective on this call to regulate dangerous AI, by the very organisations and individuals who have chosen not to regulate the development of AI internally, is that it is a highly calculated way to cement their early mover advantage. Government regulation tends to "freeze" industries in their current state , because only the established organisations have the resources to meet the regulatory obligations. Maybe these guys are looking at the crazy wealth generated in the military-industrial complex, which has a government-funded and regulated oligopoly over dangerous weapons, and thinking that they want some of that...too cynical?
