This is definitionally "abuse"—using force or power (data is power) to maltreat, hurt, injure, or otherwise misuse another person. The digital technology industry is founded on a culture of abuse; and not just of workers within workplaces, but against their customer bases and society generally.

It’s like the core ethos of technolibertarianism is that the height of freedom is when you get to abuse somebody else, and the worst sin is when somebody tells you you can’t do that.

It's part of income inequality. It's almost impossible to get a national media job now if you didn't go to an ivy or near-ivy school. Today's elite journalists rarely come from poor or middle-class families, and they identify with their subjects, not their audience.

The Atlantic is part of the elite media trend of redirecting the anti-AI backlash toward Black, Caribbean, and African targets. I will also note here that much of the human intelligence that is training the AI models is Black laborers working in digital sweatshops in Africa and Latin America.

As I've written before, & I"m sure I'll write again, both here & at the mothership Elon is the biggest insider threat. In August 2023 Ronan Farrow reported how Biden's senior natsec treated him as equivalent to a head of state. 1/ (Link in next post).

Last October, Colin Kahl, then the Under-Secretary of Defense for Policy at the Pentagon, sat in a hotel in Paris and prepared to make a call to avert disaster in Ukraine. A staffer handed him an iPhone—in part to avoid inviting an onslaught of late-night texts and colorful emojis on Kahl’s own phone. Kahl had returned to his room, with its heavy drapery and distant view of the Eiffel Tower, after a day of meetings with officials from the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. A senior defense official told me that Kahl was surprised by whom he was about to contact: “He was, like, ‘Why am I calling Elon Musk?’ ”

The reason soon became apparent. “Even though Musk is not technically a diplomat or statesman, I felt it was important to treat him as such, given the influence he had on this issue,” Kahl told me. SpaceX, Musk’s space-exploration company, had for months been providing Internet access across Ukraine, allowing the country’s forces to plan attacks and to defend themselves. But, in recent days, the forces had found their connectivity severed as they entered territory contested by Russia. More alarmingly, SpaceX had recently given the Pentagon an ultimatum: if it didn’t assume the cost of providing service in Ukraine, which the company calculated at some four hundred million dollars annually, it would cut off access. “We started to get a little panicked,” the senior defense official, one of four who described the standoff to me, recalled. Musk “could turn it off at any given moment. And that would have real operational impact for the Ukrainians.”
