Surveillance and data-manipulation giant Palantir was a CIA-funded creation and has become one of the planet's most powerfully evil companies. It is vital that the general public understand the danger -- and then work to root it out of our lives.

A graphic reads “92% of participating ProPublica Guild members voted YES to authorize our bargaining committee to call for a strike.” The “92%” is very large. A ProPublica Guild logo is under the text.

SCOOP— Trump wants a 24k gold coin w/ his face on it for America 250, but an official at a late February coin advisory committee meeting called it something only done by "nations ruled by kings or dictators." After NYT reported the criticism, US Mint yanked online vid of the meeting w/o explanation.
So when are Republican lawmakers going to admit this president is endangering not just the U.S. but the entire globe and stop him before he does even more damage?
He allegedly said "he needed help transferring data from a thumb drive “to his personal computer so that he could ‘sanitize’ the data before using it at [the company.] ... [and] that he expected to receive a presidential pardon ... ." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Voters also say they'd want to pause Trump's deportations if they were causing inflation.

Same. Tell no one.
I don’t know, for a fact, that you, Mathew, are conscious. We’ve never met in person and my interactions with you are functionally no different from my interactions with ChatGPT, Gemini or any other AI platform. That leaves the philosophical question, “Does it matter?“
The AI anti-hype hypsters should read this. History is accelerating. I’ve been through three major technological revolutions. Never have I experienced one where I wake up nearly every morning to a major development.
