"Activist Checklist is 'AI' Slop Fucking Garbage"
From the blurb on the back:
> TL:DR
> Activist Checklist sprang into existence and aggressively pushed themselves on the movement. Their site is AI slop, and their advice is not suitable for radicals, yet radicals keep boosting it. They have dubious ideological alignment in that they are AI advocates and can’t sufficiently critique the dangerous parts of the tech space that activists often end up relying on for infrastructure. Their advice endangers people in subtle ways, and it doesn’t aim to radicalize them. Their website simply should not exist.

Some more highlights:
- not understand how cops do location tracking and therefore not recommending sufficient protections against it
- recommending not-actually-private solutions and apps
- being completely AI-brained and making horrible recommendations, just generally speaking
- using AI for content and translations
- using AI to do SEO including generating manipulative content to pull in users
- trying to seed Wikipedia and other sites with backlinks for SEO
- collecting fucking e-mail addresses during a period of heightened repression
Stop recommending them. Ask people who have recommended them to pull their recommendation. Trash their zines. Flip their tables.
