WE NEED TRUMP! TO RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES! NOW!
Walk into a sandwich shop. Itβs regulated for health and safety.
But AI, which will transform the world economically and socially, is completely unregulated. Thatβs insane.
We need to make certain that AI works for ALL humanity, not just the billionaires who own it.
Iranβs people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.
The war on Iran is unfolding alongside a wave of mass layoffs in the US. These are not separate crises. They are two sides of the same offensive by the ruling class against the working class.
Will AI become smarter than humans?
If so, is humanity in danger?
I went to Silicon Valley to ask some of the leading AI experts that question.
Hereβs what they had to say:
AI monstrosity now in the hands of our military - an AI competitor species that no one can shut off!
Whatever, the Sex Pistols groked* we have βNo Futureβ perfectly and presciently in 1977.
* βStranger in a Strange Landβ 1961 Heinlein SF novel reference, not that grotesque Musk abomination.

Bernie Sanderβs 2028 litmus test would strangle Americaβs golden goose
Surprise! The Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post is against my 5% billionaire wealth tax. I wonder why?
If enacted, Bezos would owe $12 billion in taxes, and an average family of 4 would receive a $12,000 direct payment.
Poor Jeff would be left with just $224 billion to survive.
Ossoff: "The president owes Americans a real explanation. 2am posts on Truth Social just aren't good enough when you're sending Americans into combat. He was dancing at his beach club the same night he ordered air crews to launch into combat & hours before our service members endured missile salvos"
The world will try to shrink you.
Maya Angelou taught women how to stand tall anyway.
You are Powerful.
You are Worthy.
You are a Phenomenal Woman. β¨

As out turns out, the βcivilizationβ spread by the western powers was always repression, plunder, & mass death disguised under the language of universal rights.
February 26 is an important date in the history of resistance, and it has to do with knitters during WWII. Come read the story. If youβre a knitter, maybe youβll want to cast on with me tomorrow? And if you arenβt, there are other ideas for you here. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
Creating a computer that destroys an entire country's independent capacity for reason is some Bond villain-level shit.
The FCC just opened public comments on SpaceX's plan to launch a million satellites to do AI compute in space. Under the current proposal, an environmental review won't be required. Please consider submitting a public comment to oppose this damaging plan.

If you liked this experiment, I published a full piece today in the same vein: a text that gets 100 years older with every section, from a modern blog post to a medieval chronicle.
It's a single story spanning 1000 years of English. See how far you get.

Justice for Dr. Linda Davis. ICE must be held accountable for the deadly chain of events and the cruel aftermath.
Her memory lives on in every life she touched.
Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."
Not only are they laughing at us, theyβre surveilling us, predictively policing us, deporting us, data mining us, and probably have no qualms about killing us.
The actual Democracy dying in darkness is dictated and bankrolled by a known group of tech oligarchs and the elected officials theyβve funded.
Joyce Carol Oates @JoyceCarolOates how is it possible to cram so much ignorance--"English-Scott-Irish origin" -- into such a small space? miracle of a person said to be "world's richest man" has no more grasp of US history than a crumpled paper tissue underfoot in a men's restroom not recently cleaned.
joyce is going after elon again
Wow.
The worst case scenario for an AOC presidential run in 2028 is that sheβs setting herself up for 2032 or 2036.
She is going to be president somedayβitβs just a matter of time.
We can't fall into right-wing populismβs lie that the most vulnerable in society are to blame for wealth inequality in our countries. We need to build movements that tell the truth: the story of wealth inequality is not a cultural one, but a class one.
On this day in 1837, Congress ratified two treaties that removed Indigenous peoples from their homelands in the Midwest. This also added nearly 2,000,000 acres of territory that permitted slavery to the state of Missouri.
The great SΓ©rgio Mendes would have turned 85 today. π
His song βMas Que Nadaβ (1966) was the first US hit to be sung in Portuguese. βIt opened a lot of doors for me,β he said, βItβs a great, haunting chant that is fun to play .., but I had no idea it would become such a special song.β

Spoiler alert: When top officials have to start saying in an agencyβs defense βno, no, no, thatβs a totally legitimate law enforcement agency,β they have already lost and it is, in fact, no longer a legitimate law enforcement agency.
Raskin to Bondi: "You're not showing a lot interest in the victims. Whether it's Epstein's human trafficking ring or the homicidal government violence against citizens in Minneapolis, as AG you're siding with the perpetrators and ignoring the victims."
