Weekly Recommendation
This week’s recommendation is to carefully think about the places, companies and organizations you support directly or indirectly. A recent Reddit thread exposed AI art being sold at local street fairs & festivals, and solutions on how to put pressure on organizers to stop supporting such businesses.
