"Palantir CEO Alex Karp says his AI technology will lessen the power of “highly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat” while increasing the power of working-class men."
Just saying it right out loud now.

Lawyer: You don't regret that people might have lost income?
Cavanaugh (DOGE): No, I think it was more important to reduce the federal deficit from two trillion dollars to close to zero.
Lawyer: Did you reduce the federal deficit?
Cavanaugh: No, we didn't.
This is what ecocide looks like.
What could possibly explain the intensity of Western interest, over the past century and more, in this region?

Oef! 'Dario Amodei, CEO, weigert toe te geven om AI in te zetten voor militaire toepassingen als massale binnenlandse surveillance (dus het grootschalig bespioneren van eigen burgers) of autonome wapens (wapens die zelf beslissen wie ze aanvallen, zonder menselijke controle)'.
Facial recognition technology is dangerous when it works and when it doesn't.
The last thing we need is Big Tech, the government, or anyone else capturing our biometrics as we go about our lives.
Meta must not add this unreliable and invasive technology to its glasses.
Uit een onderzoek van Haaretz blijkt dat Israëlische bedrijven geavanceerde cybertools verkopen waarmee ze de technologie van je auto kunnen hacken en gebruiken om informatie over je te verzamelen.
Dat is geen verrassing: 'Veel mensen geloven dat deze problemen zich alleen in Palestina voordoen'.
Too many people underestimate how evil Google is and how impactful its evil is. Yeah, the company that struck down its "don't be evil" maxim a while ago, because I guess it felt too constraining.

‘We zijn mentaal gekoloniseerd geraakt,’ zegt journalist en schrijver Joris Luyendijk over Europa. Met 500 miljoen inwoners, een enorme economie, eigen scheepsvaartindustrie en topuniversiteiten zouden we alles in huis moeten hebben. Toch blijven we onszelf wijsmaken dat we klein zijn.
The poet W.H. Auden wrote in a review of the final book in J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy, "Evil, that is, has every advantage but one –it is inferior in imagination. Good can imagine the possibility of becoming evil, but Evil, defiantly chosen, can no longer imagine anything but itself.

Tegen het argument ‘ik heb niets te verbergen’ zet Signal-baas Meredith Whittaker een confronterend gedachte-experiment: wat als al je berichten, twijfels, grapjes en intieme gesprekken openbaar en doorzoekbaar zouden zijn voor familie, collega’s en bazen?
Voor machthebbers zoals Poetin en Musk is de rechtsstaat een nutteloos obstakel, een onhandige barrière om ongelimiteerd hun macht uit te oefenen. Want zegt historicus Timothy Snyder: 'Als jij een individuele supermacht bent, is de rechtsstaat het enige wat jou kan tegenhouden.'
“This could look like a user asking how much ibuprofen to take for a headache receiving a promoted ad for Advil in the chatbot’s response. Meanwhile, actual results on correct dosage may be brushed to the side, or buried under a mountain of ad text…”
Mooi gedaan! Keer het verhaal eens om.
And everything is flawed, if you want to look at it that way. The analogy that has helped me most is this: in Hurricane Katrina, hundreds of boat-owners rescued people—single moms, toddlers, grandfathers—stranded in attics, on roofs, in flooded housing projects, hospitals, and school buildings. None of them said, I can’t rescue everyone, therefore it’s futile; therefore my efforts are flawed and worthless, though that’s often what people say about more abstract issues in which, nevertheless, lives, places, cultures, species, rights are at stake. They went out there in fishing boats and rowboats and pirogues and all kinds of small craft, some driving from as far as Texas and eluding the au- thorities to get in, others refugees themselves working within the city. There was bumper-to-bumper boat-trailer traffic—the celebrated Cajun Navy—going toward the city the day after the levees broke. None of those people said, I can’t rescue them all. All of them said, I can rescue someone, and that’s work so meaningful and important I will risk my life and defy the authorities to do it. And they did.
My position on taking action. And on the important space between everything and nothing.
Mark Zuckerberg is building a data center in Louisiana that will use 3x more electricity than all of New Orleans.
Oligarchs want YOU to pay for these data centers with higher water & electric bills.
Americans must fight back against billionaires who put profits over people.
