AI is a way to give the wealthy access to expertise while preventing the experts to have access to wealth.

@TheChiefNerd SAM ALTMAN: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."

i don’t know how this is supposed to work in terms of intelligence but whatever these guys do is taking stuff that is not theirs to take and then sell it for the highest possible price

electricity water clean air knowledge

you name it

they should be treated like the common thieves they are

The law locks up the man or woman
Who steals the goose from off the common
But lets the greater villain loose
Who steals the common from the goose

Trump Administration Opens the Door for ICE to Target Anyone Suspected of Being Trans Under a new rule, the State Department will be able to revoke trans people's visas over "misrepresentation." It'll give ICE grounds to suspect all trans people of being in the US illegally.

In the last two days, Iran struck:

- Oil tankers in Iraq, killing an Indian crew member
- A French base in Iraq, killing French soldiers
- An oil depot in Oman
- Fuel tanks in Bahrain
- Buildings in Dubai hit by missile debris
- A Thai cargo ship
- Various Israeli targets

🧵Epstein's accountant was hauled before the House Oversight Committee yesterday where he revealed that an accuser who said Trump raped her was paid a settlement by the Epstein estate. This is the second woman they've admitted was paid a settlement after being abused by Trump.

Trump just declared that he’d ban trans women from the Olympics.

Only one openly transgender woman has ever competed in the Olympic Games in its history. In 2020. She did not win a medal.

This is fabricated controversy to fuel bigotry. Like banning trans women from owning nuclear weapons.

trans girls should be allowed to refine a little uranium, as a treat

a black and white edit that reads "the future includes trans people". around the text is a floral pattern. the image is grainy

the future is for trans people

Disabled people, autistic people, and outsiders have always been forced to see systems differently.
That perspective isn’t a weakness.
It’s a strategic advantage in a world being rebuilt by technology.

Some of you get so mad when people point out the obvious. But you're not mad at the people in power who deliver nothing.

I could go on, but the point is this: if an industry tells you up front that its core aim is to exploit human intelligence for profit without reference to human rights, then the moral thing to do is burn it down and salt the fucking earth.

The contextually small but highly relevant example of @officialgrammarly.bsky.social stealing people’s names, likenesses and bodies of work without permission or recompense, then trying to put the onus on those they exploited to opt out of their abuse, is a case in point: AI is founded on contempt.

That being so, it should surprise exactly no one that AI companies exploit underpaid workers jn the global south while commuting ecocide; that they plagiarise at an unprecedented scale; that they’re actively undermining education, academia, the arts, the internet - every possible human field.

That AI isn’t actually intelligent doesn’t actually matter: the goal - the sales pitch - is “what if you could profit from labour without having to pay for it,” which implicitly situates labour as valueless. It’s never been about creating a tech utopia; it’s about not having to respect workers.

I don’t think we talk enough about how the foundational, most aspirational premise of the AI industry is “what if there was a human-level intelligence that didn’t have human rights.” Like. Exploitation is literally the whole point! Of COURSE they hold human life, intelligence and labour in contempt!

This is the theme of the play that gave us the word "robot". Rossom's Universal Robots are synthetic beings with programmed thoughts who rise up & rebel. This 1912 play by Karel Čapek is an allegory for worker solidarity.

What have we lost since then? Worker solidarity as a key political lens.

Happening now: The Ohio Senate Committee on Education is hearing sponsor testimony on a bill to force educators to show anti-abortion propaganda videos to students.

After a series of fatal strikes involving civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan, Congress directed the Pentagon to reduce civilian casualties as part of a 2019 law. During the Biden administration, the Defense Department created the Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response initiative. The civilian mitigation teams – cut by 90% by Hegseth – work with military commanders on target planning, and making sure that targets are actually military sites. The teams help come up with "no strike" lists, including religious and cultural sites and schools

I knew that the Department of War shot a missile into a school & killed 175 civilians, mostly children.

This is learned today:

Secretary of War Hegseth had cut the teams assigned to prevent such tragedies by 90%.

If a bunch of out of touch boomers didn't rush everyone back to work instead of a hybrid model, the rise in gas prices wouldn't hurt as much.

The DOJ has exposed 21 victims names in its release of the Epstein Files. They sure worked hard to redact the criminals though. Disgusting.

It's horrible that we have a President that does so much horrific things to the American people and pledges his allegiance to foreign leadership
and nobody can do anything about it, horrific!!

Anthropic launched legal action against the Department of Defense, contesting the Pentagon’s move to classify the company as a “supply chain risk” and escalating a bitter ongoing standoff over artificial intelligence’s place in military operations.

WE BELIEVE THE VICTIMS 100%

An opinion that makes you a fringe radical in this country is that the life of a person who is not an American citizen is not an abstraction, and is worth just as much as that of an American citizen

Who would have guessed that the legal system in America was so fragile that a single crazy president could ignore the whole thing, from the Constitution right down to state laws?
Why does the Supreme Court and Congress let this demented moron act like the dictator of a banana republic?

In contrast to the coverup of the EPSTEIN crimes here in America, there are ongoing investigations in the UK, France, Turkey, Poland, Latvia & Lithuania that is sure to expose his central, filthy role in the largest crimes against humanity case in world history. #AccountabilityIsComing

So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.

That's $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

Thousands of lives lost.

People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
