the reason “AI will create so much abundance we will have a utopian society” rhetoric falls so flat is that the people building it will never, ever share their bounty unless it is taken from them and we all know it

Lookit. Deep down every Irish person wants to spin some yank a yarn that gets cited as fact in some factual text. We told an Irish American girl that when the Muppets was released in Ireland, Kermit the Frog was called Dermot the Frog because Cromwell’s son was a Kermit.

Last year, every* gender studies scholar in the US was spammed with a hardcover copy of an "academic" book by some TERF from a big publisher. (I opened it to a random page and gave up after 3 factual inaccuracies, I didn't get to the next page.) I wonder why I am reminded of that all of a sudden!

It’s true for Trump specifically; the crypto-grift brought in billions, as did the Pentagon contracts directed to the elder failsons. Even his unemployed youngest raked in more that $150M. It really is a Golden Age for that shitty, corrupt family.

The anniversary of terrorist attacks is actually EXACTLY when we should talk about the material conditions that turn people into terrorists. Terrorists aren't born. They are made by the conditions of the world they inhabit. Happy, free, well cared for people don't become terrorists.

I think, if Democrats ever get back into power, they have to make anti-monopoly a core policy focus (ideally, as part of a larger anti-corruption focus). This will be a very hard sell considering Ellison’s Saudi sponsorship, but a foreign-backed media monopoly is simply incompatible with democracy.

You can buy a huge media conglomerate with money you don't have using leveraged debt you'll never pay off and then immediately start firing its workers, but people will still say that capitalism is compatible with democracy and is capable of "reform" or "regulation"

Our labor makes the companies more powerful as they pursue epistemicide and fascist goals including sabotage of higher ed, degrading our working conditions, and the education of students. Explicit refusal sets a norm and helps organize in pursuit of a liberatory future not owned by them.

But I keep going back to comparing Ellison to Travis Knight, who is also a nepobaby, but is actually a talented filmmaker (seriously go watch Kubo and the Two Strings or Bumblebee). Knight is just trying to save a dying art form (stop motion movies) and uses his dad's money for that.

Skydance now owns Nick, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, Comedy Central, and MTV, effectively ending US TV animation as we know it. Countless jobs will be lost, and fewer new shows will be created. An apocalyptic scenario for cartoons, yet it's maybe the 5th-worst thing about the Paramount-WB merger!

A key component of the Cambridge Analytica outrage was your friends subjecting you to data theft without your consent or knowledge. Facebook is running the same playbook on your text messages. Even if you’re not on Meta properties, they’re ingesting your interactions.

Aten installed Muse on both his iPhone and a Mac mini that he uses to test out various Al agents and tech. It took Meta a single day to begin "helpfully" pitching article ideas based on texts he'd sent to a podcast co-host.
When he asked Muse how it got the information, it said that it read banners from incoming texts. But that's not true, either.
After doing a little digging, Aten says Muse synced 187,000 lines from his Messages database, despite Full Disk Access being Off.

Unless Aten is the most popular person on the face of the planet, I sincerely doubt he'd gotten 187,000 lines of text in roughly 24 hours. What happened is that, without permission, Muse went into the app and downloaded the information.
He had not given Muse permission to access Messages, and full disk access was not enabled. It just went ahead and uploaded those texts anyway.
Muse can take "unexpected actions" indeed.

PSA: COVID infections are soaring right now, so get your vaccines if you haven't already and mask up with a well-fitted kn95 or better (NOT blue surgical ones)! please note that many areas are under-reporting cases, so don't assume you're in the clear before checking! pmc19.com/interactive....

Rest assured, the Irish are not the only ones lamenting the Union Jack's presence on the Hawaiian flag...! There's a movement among some Native Hawaiians to adopt a flag without colonialist or imperialist ties, so you'll also see the Kānaka Maoli flag flown around the islands!

The Kānaka Maoli flag designed by Gene Simeona. Features green, red, and yellow stripes with a crossed paddle insignia at the center.
