@hcrichardson.bsky.social may I propose, the Piggy Barons?
Sounds like they've found themselves a new nerd to worship. Sorry, Musko, shoulda spent more money on bribes, I guess.

I don't know about anyone else but this just makes me want to support Anthropic that much harder. OH NO, ETHICS?!
It is a relief to see conversation beginning to happen about the regulation of #AI and calls for protections of working-class peoples of all kinds. @rokhanna.bsky.social represents much of Silicon Valley, so surely he knows better than anyone else what is at stake.
[7] It can’t just be voluntary, which is what it is right now. They literally ask these companies, "Do you agree?" That’s not how we do regulation. Regulation is what the democratic wheel is. We need a robust federal agency to regulate AI like we regulate nuclear energy or federal aviation.
7. We must regulate AI so it’s used to improve humanity and not damage it. We need clear, enforceable, guardrails and mandatory third party verification of advanced AI models so this powerful technology does not cause serious societal harm.
6. We must prevent AI from weaponizing our public discourse. We can unite across party lines to stop engagement driven algorithms from spreading hate. End section 230 protection from amplified violent content and require platforms to open up so Americans can connect freely across these platforms.
[5] Tech companies need to provide compute resources for schools and libraries, create local jobs and fund startups, use renewable energy and dry cooling technology. Most importantly, tech companies must pay the full electricity bill instead of shifting costs onto communities.
5. Data centers must serve the communities who power them. Right now, data centers are one-way extraction centers from communities to the wealthiest corporations. And we saw one of them actually get stopped in New Jersey.
[4] It will hire and mobilize young people to rebuild towns, teach children, provide child and elder care, counseling for mental health, and strengthen small businesses. We will launch 1,000 new trade schools and tech institutes so the next generation are prepared for careers that AI cannot replace.
[4] Funded by a modest wealth tax on trillions created here and by a token tax on AI used by businesses that could displace labor. This can put millions of Americans to work in public service and drive moonshot projects that expand the frontiers in science, clean energy, and biotechnology.
4. We must launch a future workforce administration. We should seize this moment of anxiety among white and blue collar families and answer with the boldest, most patriotic jobs agenda we’ve seen in generations.
[3] But it should be coupled with a data bill of rights. So you don’t have companies like Palantir taking our data and giving it to ICE to harass and detain immigrants and citizens.
[3] We need to make it easier to hire human beings instead of AI agents. We also need to create an annual data dividend so every American gets a check from the data they generate for both the private sector and our government activities like public health, traffic management, and policy research.
3. We need to fix the tax code’s anti-human bias. Daren Acemoglu estimates that companies pay zero tax when they have digital tools, AI agents, or automation in their companies, but pay almost 30% in taxes between employers and employees when they hire workers.
2. Every large company must bargain with its workers. Unions or elected representatives should ensure workers move into new high value jobs or can share in AI’s productivity gains through higher wages, profit sharing, and shorter work weeks.
1. We must keep human beings in the loop. We need real protections against mass displacement. Beginning with our 3.5mil truck drivers. Human drivers must remain just like pilots must still fly on our planes. What we need is an AI that augments human capability instead of eliminating jobs.
Thank you @rokhanna.bsky.social for the 7-point plan regarding AI and the protection of working-class people. Here are those points, taken from this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJ-P...
Please note that these are very short summaries for the sake of bsky. Please watch the video to learn more.
So much ICE out there today in South Minneapolis. They’re prowling around harassing schools.
Stay frosty, friends
Picture from an anime: Anya, the star of the anime Spy Family, rides a large white dog with her fist raised in the air and a smile on her face.
Absolutely channeling Anya from spy family
More of this, please. The folks in this grassroots group are heroes.
Haven Watch lives by the promise, “No One Walks Alone.” Day or night, they show up. When people are released from ICE detention, volunteers meet them in the cold, disoriented, and exhausted.
Beautiful and devastating all at once.
