I don’t know Jessica Tarlov very well, as I don’t watch Fox, but from what I’ve seen of her and what I know about her, she’s one of the people I respect and admire the most. youtu.be/q27E9n7Tomg?...

Tim Snyder: The term that I came up with… is superpower suicide. I just can’t see an example of a major country losing so much power so quickly as the United States under Trump. We’ve encouraged our enemies and we’ve made our allies not trust us.

AI companies are essentially criminal organisations. They are working on systems which they themselves say are likely to wipe out humanity. Even now, their agents are committing crimes for which their developers do not wish to take responsibility. youtu.be/e2zjpCqTmyo?...

A world in which people are arrested for peacefully demonstrating for human rights, and men are allowed to rape women without facing prosecution and can even go on to hold the highest offices, is a dystopia.

6000 Angestellte klagen wegen Rassismus gegen Tesla. Dabei werden sie von Vorgesetzten nicht nur als N* bezeichnet, sondern auch wörtlich als »Sklaven«. Anwälte von Tesla gaben sich derweil als Regierungsmitarbeiter aus, um Zeugen zu beeinflussen, und argumentieren, das N-Wort wäre akzeptabel. 😳

Part of me says that these men should be castrated. Were it not for the other part of me that says such a punishment would also affect innocent men in the event of a miscarriage of justice, I would consider it an appropriate punishment.

The companies that develop AI and claim they cannot keep their own agents under control are trying to convince us that we must integrate their technologies into all our systems.

A typical everyday conversation in autumn 2026: ‘Have you heard? They’re saying on the news that AI is going to kill us all in the coming months.’ ‘Yes, that’s awful. So, how was your holiday?’

It is a remarkable feat by Trump that a state which had only just been slaughtering its own population comes across as the less evil one in a conflict with the US.

I am anti-anyone who judges people’s worth and rights on the basis of skin colour, ethnicity, nationality, gender or sexual orientation. That definitely makes me an anti-fascist. If Netanyahu or whoever claims that this also makes me an anti-Semite, then so be it. I don’t give a fuck!

If it is antisemitic to condemn Israel's crimes, I am antisemitic. If it is antisemitic to believe that all people have a right to freedom and peace, then I am antisemitic. And for that reason, I regard all Jews who likewise consider all people equal and equally entitled as brothers and sisters.

This report explains what might actually lie behind the warnings from Altman & Co that AI could wipe out humanity. Perhaps it is more a case of their panic that the emergence of human intelligence could destroy their financial foundations. youtu.be/tuhSGTbuF9s?...

An AI agent is given some trivial task and, in its eagerness to carry it out to the best of its ability, leaves no resources remaining for life to sustain itself. The Earth would then carry on running for all eternity, like a factory where the last person forgot to switch off the lights.
