"The lawsuit targets the CDC DHS, ICE, IRS, and the Social Security Administration, all of which have failed to produce records in response to Freedom of Information Act requests seeking information about their use of Palantir tools and access to sensitive data."

The war in the Middle East has accelerated lifted demand for alternatives to volatile fossil fuels, setting 2026 up to be the year of the battery.
this is just a warmed over david duke speech from 1990
At the same time the Purge Palantir campaign is calling on politicians to reject campaign money from the company’s PAC and executives, and bring a halt to its surveillance practices.

Public pension funds in over half of U.S. states hold billions of dollars in Palantir stock, according to @Sludge.
Public workers in several of these states, like Maine, New Jersey, New York, and Oregon, are protesting the fact that their pension funds are being funnel to this dangerous company.
Google to tap into gas plant for AI datacenter in sharp turn from climate goals Texas power plant would emit 4.5m tons of carbon dioxide per year, more than that of the entire city of San Francisco
"Asked by Axios last week at an energy conference in Houston about how natural gas jives with the company’s clean energy goals and overall strategy, Google’s head of advanced energy, Michael Terrell, said: “We don’t have anything to say on that.”"

If a journalist chooses not to sign the preemptive "arbitration agreement" (which will happen 100% of the time), then Objection is rendered a very expensive Community Note.

I spent way too much time reading the terms and conditions for "Objection," mostly because I couldn't believe how ridiculous it is. The "AI tribunal" is just a collection of LLMs prompted to act like they're members of a jury assessing evidence about the truthfulness of a claim in an article
"Objection" encourages wealthy interviewees + journos to sign an "arbitration agreement" prior to on-the-record convos, then allows the interviewee to file claims over any "factual disputes," which are resolved via "investigators" and an "AI tribunal." It is the worst AI startup idea I've ever seen.
Bay Area friends (and foes!), this is happening tonight at 6.30pm in SF. Katrina is down for lively disagreements on the topic of AI warfare and Project Maven. hope to see ur beautiful faces bsky.app/profile/katr...
in the dead of night, House GOP leadership is trying to not just extend but possibly expand government surveillance powers — and incredibly, @jahimes.bsky.social is working to help them do it
“It’s a couple of things that work beautifully in concert. First: no music. Audiences are so sophisticated, but what they’re not accustomed to is not being told how to feel,” Wyle says. “You take all that out and it forces a level of engagement where you’re now looking for clues within the frame of the screen, which forces you to look up from your phone. And I think that is extremely engaging, especially to young viewers who aren’t accustomed to being asked to participate in a nonpassive way in the viewing experience.
![“Second point, shooting it with almost exclusively 50-millimeter or 65-millimeter lenses, which is the most comparable to the human eye—and only shooting from the point of view of a human being that’s present in this space. There are no cameras on gurney wheels going in the hallway. There’s no cameras on the ceiling looking down from a God point of view. You are limited to the perspective of a participant. You can look away, but you can’t leave, and it becomes an endurance test for you to stay on your feet as long as we’re on our feet. Which [brings me to my] third point: real time. Real time has an aggregate sense of tension that you don’t get in any other form of storytelling. What happened before is happening now, and these two things are going to add up to the next thing. And if we throw more ingredients into this cooker and keep ratcheting it up, it’s going to pop.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:guthikarwozoldkzhueivkl6/bafkreihklvhtymho7wpemo5mj2f7xaiq6ulvfvcwnzo6hjstg3wixzgesy)

Wyle makes eye contact for his next point, delivering it with a Robby-esque matter-of-factness. “Fourth point: The election went the other way,” he says with a shrug. “We could have been a really good show with a lot of nice things to say in a perfectly normal Kamala Harris universe. And instead we became almost a beacon of hope and humanity in an alternative universe. But in the midst of that, fifth point—this is essentially competence porn. You’re watching really smart, dedicated people do what only they know how to do at a level that you don’t know how to do it, and you’re so fucking glad that they’re there doing it, and compartmentalizing their own stuff to put your broken pieces back together. You’re so reassured by knowing that there are people out there that laugh and joke and have the ability to lock in like that.”

New: Thomson Reuters, which runs the CLEAR database ICE uses, fired a longstanding employee for speaking out against ICE, a new lawsuit says. Billie Little led an internal effort raising concerns; was fired. We've shown CLEAR is linked to ICE's Palantir tool

NEW: Big Tech's AI money is flooding campaigns across the country. OpenAI, Palantir, and a16z are spending hundreds of millions to oppose candidates who support AI safety, chatbot protections, and data privacy.
We're calling on Dems to disavow Big Tech's Trump-connected backers.
An exciting day: I’m testifying today in a Senate hearing about the possible merger between Paramount & Warner Bros.
This kind of power consolidation is a danger to freedom of speech and media independence so it must be fully vetted.
Hope you’ll tune in and watch:

In a first last month, renewables supplied more power to the U.S. than natural gas, a milestone in the shift to clean energy.

I will be talking about my book Project Maven: A Marine Colonel, His Team, and the Dawn of AI Warfare in conversation with @nitasha.bsky.social this Friday 6.30pm at Best Bookstore in Union Square, San Francisco.
Looking forward.

Bay Area friends and fam, come thru this Fri! I'm interviewing @katrinamanson.bsky.social about AI, autonomous weapons, and her phenomenal new book "Project Maven: A Marine Colonel, His Team, and the Dawn of AI Warfare" at Best Bookstore in Union Sq.
Last week, a 20 year-old man threw a molotov cocktail at Sam Altman's mansion; two days later, people fired a gun at it. Earlier that week, someone fired gunshots into an city councilman's house who approved a data center.
Why the AI backlash has turned violent:
Is Paramount trying to make the case against its own merger? If the Ellisons are already punishing news outlets, imagine if they own CNN and their buddy Trump calls in a favor.
This doesn't sound like a company that deserves even more power over the press.
Bill Gates is set to testify before the #Epstein House Panel in June. 👀
