RE: https://mastodon.social/@fj/117274646059939937
After white supremacist Stefan Molyneux was banned from YouTube in 2020, he moved to the extremely right video platform Rumble.
Rumble is the "YouTube for Nazis". The company behind it, the Rum Group, is aligned with Trump.
And now Anthropic made a nearly 14 billion USD deal with them.
Perplexity similarly made a deal with Trump's "Truth" Social.
Every "AI" company is directly collaborating with Nazis. And every employer in my industry is changing their entire business model to become "AI-first" while you have to argue with clueless, ignorant centrists about the alleged usefulness of "AI". It's so fucking tiring.
You cannot use LLMs without empowering Nazis. It's obvious that the CEOs of said employers don't care, but it would be great if at least the workers didn't brush this fact aside.

You know what? Who gives a fuck what celebrities think about Israel and Palestine?
Seriously. I've been seeing people sharing lists of celebrities who are pro-Palestine and celebrities who are pro-Israel. And I'm just sitting here thinking: Who gives a fuck? Why are we treating celebrities like they're the fucking deciding factor in this conflict? I don't care whether a celebrity is pro-Palestine. I don't care whether they're pro-Israel. I don't care whether they refuse to talk about it. And honestly, I'm skeptical that every celebrity who has suddenly picked a side […] -
Is always interesting to understand the views that the pin-up boy of the Rewilding and Environmentalist movement in the UK aligns with, when it comes to liberation movements like that of Palestine, or the fight back against Genocide.
This is a very wealthy, Eton educated English financier and environmentalist.

I had to change my FB profile to professional bc I wanted to keep the followers. So now Im getting this pop up asking 'had I thought of running an ad in messenger...'. For what? "Hey Im a superb person, chat to me now!". Ridiculous. In the US, the whole trip is to grift, to hustle. All the time, to everyone. This is what we are being forced to adopt by bigtech socmed. The Big Hustle. But I dont want to hustle, I just want to be friendly.

Texas' Republican legislators & governor just made cannabis possession a felony after 70% of Texans voted to fully legalize it. One big possible reason is that the private prisons in Texas aren't getting enough prisoners to keep profits up.
In the early 00s private prison lobbyists canvassed towns along the US-Mexico border, telling town leaders to elect far-right Republican reps who would make unlawful entry ("illegal immigration") a felony instead of a status offense (like a parking ticket), which it had been for over a century. They promised that doing this would allow them to build private prisons in the town, which would hold the newly-defined felons, and that this would bring jobs to the area.
Fuck #PrivatePrisons, fuck the #GOP, and fuck US-style #capitalism

An official government emergency alert app with an official California government domain website "ca.gov" but zero government contact/oversight contact on the website.
Only a "powered by" private company without an "About us" section on their site.
Taxpayers pay for the data, the company leases the app to agencies that are required to request access.
And users are forced to sign up with a Microsoft or a Google account.

Zeteo June 28, 2024 Support for Israel, once a bipartisan issue across the West, has now become a wedge issue for the right.

I get why somebody who drills for oil and refines it domestically would want to sell it for more here when that's possible because of wars etc, but they don't have to. The costs for them did not change. They wouldn't be losing money to keep the price at what it was before. They're just profiteering, right? And hurting the US economy.

@mttaggart The #FossilFuels #Oligarchy is deeply entrenched, and the #TechBros have a lot of Hollywood level scripting to do in order to corner the energy markets.
Yay #Capitalism!

RE: https://mas.to/@statsguy/117274814338546184
I feel this way too but TBH it's more about being aligned to following instructions over rules rather than doing what's right over rules.
Because an AI (LLM or actual AI) perfectly aligned to morality is *terrifying*. But of course, I'd just have to be a slightly better person. To the rich who make money not from personal work but taking a cut from other people's work (the owner class), it's an existential risk.

Karl Marx on Labor, Wealth and Power
Karl Marx died in 1883.These 9 quotes about labor, machinery, wealth and power still sound remarkably contemporary.
Visuals inspired by Honoré Daumier.

@copter_chief Communism, where 'too little' is never too little, is just as guilty of power abuses in #Capitalism - where too much is never too much.
So if you place #greed above the sustainability of future generations, it's a no brainer to proliferate conflict that produces more armaments, which are heavily laden with #FossilFuels processing.
Countries, throughout history, have gone to war to break out of economic decline. Mass murder is profitable in Communism and Capitalism, so #DemocraticSocialism should be THE no brainer.

The price of the Steam Frame is absolutely insane. It's the direct result of greedy politicians and equally greedy corporations scheming to make the world a shittier place.
