What you need to know about Trump's AI plan: Winners: - Big Tech (+ OpenAI, Anthropic, others dependent on them) - utility monopolists - defense industry Losers: - our energy grid - drought prone communities - dissenters against Trump admin - workers - the American people - climate transition

“The effect is to license a new wave of Jew hatred, stirring enmity not only for the Israeli government but also for any Jew who supports Israel as a genocide supporter.” if I wrote this poorly I would be out of a job. yet he persists

There's going to be a lot of specifics in the AI Action Plan warranting headlines and interest, but it's critical to remember what's going on.The federal government is pulling every lever to help a few massive corporations grow their bottom line and irresponsibly adopt AI at the expense of taxpayers

the Internet was a mistake

understanding how afraid mainstream media outlets are of big tech is actually sickening. they will, in response to bullying from tech PR teams: – delete entire quotes – revise to soften based on tech firm's critiques – omit barefaced lies from co's – avoid drawing connections – kill critical pieces

Cory "This Is A Moral Moment" Booker

the most impt detail about this story is that Sergey Brin, the 10th richest man in the world, "worth" $140 billion, sits around in his mansion basement trolling his *employee gossip channels*, commenting with ahistorical bs when he sees a post that hurts his feelings. billionaires are such losers

omfg new york city are we about to have a hot mayor

the prevalence of the belief that migrants could not have national allegiance or ties to more than one country, and that pride for a mother country is an act of aggression toward the US tells you a lot about how the US sees itself + its relationship to the world

fuck harvard, free palestine

Yunseo Chung, the Columbia student and green-card holder who has been in hiding since ICE tried to disappear her in March, wins sweeping order preventing her arrest and detention. She becomes the first of these pro-Palestinian advocates to circumvent the Trump administration policy to deport them.

oh is this just a distraction? is that it? a distraction? for rubes? are you the smartest little birthday boy in the whole applebees? is that it? are you three steps ahead? with your mind chess? in your little birthday boy suit? do you have it all figured out? are you mommy’s special buddy?

Yall im crying

but pencils work

can't wait to tell my descendants what Democrats did when what semblance of democracy we had in the US was dying out in plain sight, and Israel continued to execute a genocide in Palestine: order a taco truck to capitol hill

instead, democrats:

lmao hearing a news site is investigating "community owned data centers"

we are living in a death cult and those in power are not even afraid to say it

starting to feel pretty rattled by the very obvious onset of the new yellow peril, which is why all my jokes are now going to be 40% darker

facebook, once nominally dedicated to “making the world more open and connected,” is now just a military contractor.

counterpoint: don’t give to Harvard

In other words, AI will now be used to deny, defend, and depose.

the man is a conservative hack who promised not to raise tuition pre-election, but did 3x anyways. he is widely disliked in the UK, and only has been able to remake his image in the US as a FB exec bc Americans are ignorant of his record in the UK. he sucks, maybe we should just ignore what he says!

sounds like it’s time to organize

getting sent straight to the comms department makes it clear the reporter/newsroom is not interested in improving their journalism; instead the Times is worried about protecting its brand, outright rejecting any possibility of racist stereotyping that is quite obvious in the example cited

welp I sent an email

go off, @aljazeera.com

I cannot believe a major source of aid keeping Gazans alive right now is a few tremendous BlueSky users helping 'verify' GoFundMe's that Palestinians are circulating to help feed their families. I want to scream. How is this the world we are living in

many more important points to be made about this but it is ironic that the purported long-term vision of AI is producing 'radical abundance'––something we currently already have as a society, but is concentrated at the very top, among the very billionaires and executives like Demis, Schmidt et al.

what is it called when you live in a "representative democracy" but none of your will or desires are reflected among your representative electeds, the law, or the actions of the head of state, and every time you try to speak out or protest they crack down and punish or deport you?

The reason I think OpenAI’s latest announcement is a sham is that they don’t have a product yet. If OpenAI were living up to its ambitions, it wouldn’t need to dip into these vague-intentions-of-a-plan to keep the drumbeat going.

If I’m correct, it seems like the Supreme Court just ruled that there’s no such thing as an independent agency unless ending the independence of said agency would destroy the US economy

hey this is really bad for workers

the boss is so afraid of its workers organizing — in particular around Palestine — that it is being this blatant and extreme in its censorship and repression

it's crazy how much we hate women as a society

AI is capitalistic to its core; the oligarchy is using it to 1) deregulate the state 2) privatize public goods, incl tax revenue 3) displace and control labor 4) further surveil us 5) guzzle energy, land, and water 6) target and kill in warfare 7) insulate execs from responsibility for its harms
