Palantir needs to be obliterated the same as ICE, and Peter Thiel can face the Truth and Reconciliation committee he’s spent his entire life trying to negate. If we want to fix our country, this is non-negotiable.

Abolish ICE. There’s no reforming it. There’s no compromise. There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

Do you remember when people were saying "I think my phone is listening to me, i'm getting ads for stuff I spoke about" and people said "They arent listening to you, they're just this good at predicting your interests"? Well, it happens they were doing exactly that.

You're not the only one who displays misogyny in the way you talk about women who are experts in their field discussing concepts they are experts on. Hilarious that you give other sexists finding the performance "off-putting," as evidence of your claim 😂

When disability activists like Imani Barberin, and the late Alice Wong and Tinu Abayomi Paul, warned us all that the way the majority was acting to abandon disabled people to Covid was quickly going to backfire on themselves, not enough folks *listened*

One of the most insane things about trying to shift the conversation in tech is, I have all the time in the world for people who are frustrated and angry about the harm that Big AI is having on users and the world. It sucks and it’s exhausting and i don’t blame anyone for being fed up…

I will simply never recover from reading this sentence: "Since Georgia implemented work requirements in 2020, they have spent twice as much on Deloitte consultants and administrative costs as on healthcare for people."

I get it. They sometimes publish a good piece. But my contempt for The Atlantic runs so deep. I'll pretty much always look for a piece that covers the same ground in a more ethical publication, and such work usually exists. Support indy media, fam. It'll help get you free, instead of the reverse.

I think some of the more honest defenders of AI, many people on this website, get their perceptions clouded by how knowledgeable they are about AI. The automobile has been a consumer product for over a century and most people dont know how they work.
