Any bro who continued their relationship with Epstein needs to be removed from power by the public.

A simple and robust rule of thumb.

Western colonising societies have a negative legacy.

Indigenous regenerative communities have a positive legacy.

At a time when mass surveillance and autonomous weapons companies like Palantir are openly announcing their plans for violent world domination, it is crucial that our attempts at “big tech reform” don’t actually give them more power—ie via government mandated age verification/identity software

One factor that binds AI fascists together:

*sexual abuse*

Thiel’s young men ring, the Altman family, the Ellison family, the Musk diaspora of abuse.

They all hold this in common.

Once you start digging into the silenced allegations, it starts to become clear.

I’m honestly thinking of getting off the platform. But I lack the connections here that I had there :|

Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.

"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X

The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.

I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).

So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

What, that is nuts and very revealing.

Skeptics “point to highly publicized AI failures, including one involving a Utah traffic stop during which a police body cam recorded the movie ‘The Princess and the Frog’ playing in the background and generated a report stating, among other things, that an officer ‘turned into a frog.’”

Glad to see this, and you finding meaning in being with nature!

That’s how people do actually get outstripped by high horsepower electric motors, high compute bandwidth data centers, and fast scalable production.

In the long run, need to take seriously how that machine capacity for ‘power’ will be used to serve the corporate fascist artificialisation project.

For those interested I previously wrote about how Anthropic and others co-opt safety and defense terminology to take over the arbitration of risk determinations, thus subverting democratic processes

Palantir's manifesto is not new for us who have been critical of them for years. But a reminder that Anthropic has a partnership with them, so it's crucial that people understand the politics of Anthropic's unsubstantiated AI claims and their relation to fulfilling the manifesto.

They don’t understand what true strength means.

They’re all about gaining power, but inside are fragile. They lack the diversity and shared acceptance to be strong.

Palantir put out the most cartoonishly evil statement possible. They’re so arrogant and self-confident they don’t seem to believe their fascistic plans can be opposed.

We must get rid of Palantir altogether.

it always surprises me when people react really viscerally to the idea of destroying systems and institutions that either no longer serve us (and can't be reformed), or never existed to serve humanity in general. putting the destruction of a system on the table shouldn't be a radical position

Meta's data operation is valued at $1.4T. The people who generated that data got $0 in royalties.

The industry didn't forget to pay us. It was designed this way. #dataprivacy

Note how there’s something about standardisable hard machines that you can build them to perform work at much higher energy bandwidths (as long as you can extract enough energy to feed them).

#TakeBackTech but not tech like AI, what we need is an alternative technopolitics and the collective development of convivial tools for the common good

good thread!

+ the "dangerously capable AI" framing magically disappears the individuals in AI companies that make decisions at every step of the way in the AI development and deployment pipeline allocating accountability to an artifact

We just turned in the copy-edited and fact checked draft. Feels good!

Selfishly, it would be nice for there to be no more apocalyptic end timesy stuff happening from now to the pub date, since we can't update any more. And also, bc I'm sick of living in it as I know all of you are, too.

I love them - spontaneous and colourful!

Eugenicism, plus unintended consequences, plus upholding a stupid techno-solutionist philosophy instead of reasoning things through comprehensively.
