Taxpayers should not be forced to bail out the AI industry if its investment boom collapses. Economist Gerald Epstein warns that hundreds of billions flowing into AI could inflate a bubble poised to burst.

1/ Just in: An anonymous federal worker has filed a whistleblower disclosure warning that the U.S. Postal Service's attempt to create a system to regulate mail voting for the midterms has been "rushed, chaotic, and fundamentally flawed." @propublica.org has the details 👇
Screenshot of the top of a whistleblower disclosure titled "USPS Rushed Implementation of New and Untested IT Systems Threatens U.S. Ballot Mail Delivery." Addressed to Senator Blumenthal, the first point details how the whistleblower has "significant concerns about the USPS's secretive, rushed, chaotic, and fundamentally flawed process for the creation and implementation of an entirely new and untested set of IT systems" intended for the 2026 midterms.

New: ICE plans to spend millions of dollars on Boston Dynamics dog robots. ICE says this is to improve "officer safety." The robots can open doors, pick up objects, have 360 cameras, infrared vision, etc. Boston Dynamics didn't respond to question on its stance on ICE www.404media.co/ice-plans-to...

There’s an aggressively paid for influence op going on right now to defend AI slop as art and protected speech across platforms. AI execs realize they have a problem and don’t wanna get Marie Antoinette’d. The free ChatGPT trip is the tip of the iceberg. First person to nail it down gets a Pulitzer.

Some of the richest people in the world want a racial caste system, and they want scholarly backing for that in the form of racist pseudoscience. And a lot of ostensibly non racist people quietly agree, and don’t like to see those who peddle that pseudoscience excluded from mainstream institutions.

“AI is not a natural phenomenon, conceived by nature; it is a technological phenomenon, conceived by venture capitalists and programmers. As such, it takes no native, intentional action, and any action or motivation is driven directly or indirectly by the entities that have built it for a purpose.”

Debates over AI consciousness are a trap
If AI systems are viewed as too advanced to control, the companies that build them can’t held liable for the harms they cause.

The end of Reconstruction and the rise of Jim Crow depended upon the exact type of elite consensus that non-white folks had gone too far in calling for equality, that we are living through. It does not bode well for the future, even if the GOP is routed in the next couple of elections.

People get really lazy in their treatment of Octavia Butler's work. The point wasn't for everyone to crown her some seer and wish she was still here to tell us what's coming next. She gave the instructions in her writing because she followed patterns and history. We can all do that.

It’s weird how much it upsets people when I talk about how the American apparatus has had and continues to have a genocidal attitude toward Black people and its not because they’re upset about the genocidalism, it’s that they don’t want to confront their own normalization of anti-Black violence

if the Justice Department and federal judges are willing to set the bar for “providing material support to terrorists” this low—an encrypted group chat, auto-deleting messages, wearing black, possessing zines—what the Praireland defendants have been through will likely be just the beginning
Prosecutors also pointed to the way that the protesters used Signal, a widely-used messaging application, as evidence of their coordination and conspiracy. The protesters used pseudonyms on the app and had messages autodelete, an increasingly common practice among protesters and journalists who are concerned about government surveillance. They also emphasized the defendants were wearing all black during the protest, sometimes describing it as "tactical" gear. While the defendants were dressed in dark clothing, defense lawyers highlighted that many of the things they wore could be bought by the public at a retail store like Walmart.
