Counter-intuitive take: AI isn't coming for artists first. It's coming for middle managers. Summaries, status updates, synthesis across teams, the 'alignment meeting' layer. All LLM territory now. Your boss is next. Not your designer. Who else sees this?

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon warned Monday that current financial conditions and banks doing “dumb things” like taking on risky loans could lead to a market meltdown similar to the one before the 2008 financial crisis. https://cnn.it/4kYuPn2

From license-plate readers to drones and cell-site simulators, ICE relies on a growing web of surveillance. Here’s how hackers are shining a light on it—and why that matters. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Exactly right. Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign. Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE. Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them. Every possible angle.

Model all 151 million American workers, map their skills against capabilities of 13,000+ AI tools currently in production to see where the two overlap. Result: 11.7% of the US labor market's total wage value, ~$1.2 trillion, sits in tasks that AI systems can perform. iceberg.mit.edu/report.pdf

The threats to digital civil liberties aren’t secret rooms in AT&T buildings anymore. They’re AI systems, data brokers, and privatized surveillance sold as products. The EFF has spent 35 years fighting for rights and freedoms. Here’s my take on how it should evolve to fight back.

Despicable open.substack.com/pub/steady/p... Great read from Dan Rather: "...The very existence of a free press is a threat to this president’s modus operandi, which is to govern by lying. Why would he want people around him who ask for facts and truthful answers?..." #BlueCrew #MisogynistInChief

The NASA Technical Report Server is not being updated due to funding cuts. This is a disaster. 🧪 🔭

The BBC is apologising for its Panorama edit. It shouldn’t. First, the narrative is true: Donald Trump *did* incite the Capitol riot. Second, the apology won’t appease those attacking it. So why not at least stand for something? Wrote this on it earlier this week: inews.co.uk/news/world/b...

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

This is absolutely nuts Trump did incite the January 6 riot. Splicing a video to make that point is shoddy editorial but hardly a resignation event When BBC is needed more than ever, Telegraph/Boris Johnson running the show www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cd...

The bigotry is glaring

Dear gestapo trash:

That’s me in the video. And a Fox News host just celebrated me being assaulted by ICE. If ICE will do this to a congressional candidate with a big platform, just imagine what they’re doing to the people they’re kidnapping.

There’s no hiding the political retaliation and weaponization. It’s all out in the open.

Never in our history, not even during Watergate, has a single news cycle so comprehensibly established the deep corruption and politicization of the Department of Justice

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

Trump and his MAGA allies are putting sensitive A.I. technology in foreign hands – all to line their own pockets while putting America’s technological edge at risk. Our president is profiting from the presidency, and Americans are paying the price.

Absolutely shameful. Afghans promised a home in U.S. may face repatriation — and the Taliban Afghans who helped American forces are stuck in limbo as the Trump administration cuts the State Department office for Afghan relocation. We're talking upwards of 250k Afghans here.

The foreign ministers of 25 Western nations have slammed Israel for "drip feeding" aid into the Gaza Strip, as the health ministry in the territory said that more than 1,000 people have been killed seeking humanitarian relief there since late May.

While the oligarchs do their best to divide us and bust unions, they know that standing together is the way. Today I learned the term "oligarchic solidarity." There are a lot more of us than them. If we have solidarity, we can call the shots. Worth trying since they are ahead of us on this.

“I'm only asking for a piece of bread... that's all," a 17-year-old boy at al-Shifa hospital tells the BBC, as food security body the IPC warns more than 1.5 million Gazans are at risk of severe malnutrition/ starvation. Nearly 500,000 are considered to be facing “catastrophe.”

Good statement that makes clear Israel is deliberately massacring starving civilians. "We condemn the drip feeding of aid and the inhumane killing of civilians, including children, seeking to meet their most basic needs of water and food. " www.gov.uk/government/n...

“Comparing ICE to the Gestapo is less a historical judgment than a reflection of modern anxiety – a fear that the U.S. is veering toward authoritarianism reminiscent of 1930s Germany.” theconversation.com/comparing-ic... By Holocaust Historian Daniel H. Magilow @utknoxville.bsky.social

Mamdani: "I've already had to start get used to the fact that the president will talk about how I look, how I sound, where I'm from, ultimately bc he wants to distract from what I'm fighting for. I'm fighting for the the very working people he ran a campaign to empower that he has since betrayed."

I don’t think there’s a single serious critic who says AI’s not useful? The concerns I see are about content rights, worker impacts, environmental effects, epistemological threats, or media manipulation. But that’s all predicated on the idea that it *does* work, often too well for people to manage…

A federal program to protect US cities against extreme heat has just evaporated

Is the USA even a democracy anymore? When a ruler can override state leaders and flood cities with troops to crush dissent, where is the “land of hope and glory”? This looks more like authoritarian rule than freedom. #DemocracyInCrisis #WhoseAmerica

“Reuters examined the data from the Gaza Health Ministry to look more closely at those who have died. It found that more than one-fifth of those killed in the territory were children under the age of 12. More than 1,200 families were completely wiped out”
