The post-AI-bubble regulation should start by making it illegal to do circular deals - money invested cannot be used to pay for services, money invested cannot be used for buying hardware, etc, etc. Hell, I'm game for making it illegal to invest in customers at all.

An original. A legend. A legacy that will last forever.

Palantir's 'manifesto' has been described as an 'AI-driven threat to humanity's existence' and 'technofascism'.
From Gaza to now Iran and Lebanon, Israel is expanding its testing ground for AI-enabled military technology in terrifying ways.
Read my latest piece in Zeteo about how big tech is powering Israel’s AI war machine 👇
🇨🇺 Brazil, Spain, and Mexico have released a joint statement in support of Cuban sovereignty and pledge more aid to the island under US blockade
In a nutshell. 😊
The Palantir manifesto has the heritage of the War on Terror written throughout it. Which makes an awful lot of sense considering who staked Palantir at the start.
interesting recession indicator I just spotted: the year is 2026, and the recession began in 2007 and at no point did it meaningfully abate for the vast, vast majority of people
Just in case anyone forgot, the nat'l leaders of Uncommitted begged the DNC to let them endorse Harris at the convention, then begged them for a meeting with her, got blown off, then told people to vote against Trump anyway. There was definitely someone not thinking past 1st order consequences!
I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.
The Strait of Hormuz is now completely closed because Israel can't adhere to any ceasefire agreement that requires them to stop killing civilians
ZOHRAN MAMDANI: "It is sad that for too many Americans when they want to look for ambition in the Democratic Party, they have to turn to a history book."
In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.
All you Dem MFs running in the midterms, you can't point to polling anymore as your reason for being wishy-washy on this right here. So we'll know damn well where your bread is buttered if you do
A lot of our big “we’re gonna hold big tech accountable” bills actually hand them + the government unprecedented power to track, censor, and deplatform internet users—and would require us to link our identities to everything we do online, meaning no more privacy. Greatly reducing opposition to them
U.S. Navy destroyer repeatedly warned an Iranian-flagged cargo ship to stop over a six-hour period on Sunday before firing on the ship's engine room, disabling the Iran-bound vessel to allow helicopter-borne Marines to board and seize it, U.S. Central Command said in a statement. When the crew of the Touska, the Iranian ship, ignored the American warnings, a destroyer fired its MK 45 gun into the cargo ship's engine room, Central Command said. On Sunday, Marines from the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit were conducting a search of the vessel, which is now in American custody. 1 hour ago
One of the most blatant examples of sane-washing I've ever seen from the NYT.
This was an unarmed cargo vessel in international waters, crewed by noncombatants!
Explosive & really outrageous revelations in here about a billionaire's private surveillance network completely run amok.
If we can't stop Dolan from spying on us at MSG, let's at least cancel his sweetheart tax break. (1/2)

Daisy Ridley’s Instagram Story: “The death sentences of 12,000 Palestinian prisoners have been approved. 4,000 of them are children. For wanting to live in their homeland and for defending their occupied territories, a total of 400,000 Palestinians have been martyred over the past 78 years. Now, 12,000 more people will be executed in full view of the world. The executions will take place within 90 days. Please don't be silent. If humanity doesn't rise up today, when will it? If we don't show our humanity today, when will we? Please don't stay silent. Share. Oppose these executions...”

Salute to an all-time tweet
The Democrats sense that they're gonna cruise to midterm victory by doing nothing and offering nothing and are using it as a freebie to punch left to make sure the voters don't get any ideas.
one of the most insane aspects of all of this is that "a wide ranging government crackddown after a handful of newspaper cranks said insane things based on misunderstood cherrypicked papers" is considered illegitimate in every field of endeavor except this one
Cool. My electric mixer stirs faster than my finger
Its not a hot take but man the way the word "content" is used these days. A vile bit of late stage capitalist propaganda, lumping all forms of human creativity and expression into a single wastebin teaching the public to treat all art as disposable.
The Israeli army struck civilians in the Lebanese city of Mayfadoun.
And then, the Israelis double-tapped the medics who arrived onto the scene.
And then, they triple-tapped the next wave of medics.
And then, they did it one more time for good measure.
Contrapoints quote tweeting a video on Trump saying he's going to war with Cuba next with "sources tell me leftist influencers got out in time. Please God."
It's funny because the people who also didn't want Trump to be president but still don't want Cubans to die tried to raise awareness about a cause
