Oligarchs have always been a threat, but tech oligarchs represent a new level of danger. Their wealth dwarfs historical tycoons and their control over algorithms allows them to curate human reality. They own the digital infrastructure of thought

The imperial boomerang, or the colonial boomerang,is the theory that governments that develop repressive techniques to enforce imperialism or control colonial territories will eventually deploy those same techniques domestically against their own citizens.

Trump's latest budget is the culmination of 40 years of increasing social control in America. Remember that over half of defense spending flows to private contractors, like the drone manufacturers Trump's sons are now major investors in. All of this is absurd.

Profits are up but 15,000 people are out of a job. The banks “credit” AI. Today it’s Wall Street. It’ll be tons of other jobs next. We need bold new policies to make sure AI doesn’t just make a few already rich people even richer.

Data centers have contaminated ground water in Oregon. They've released smog into the air in Memphis. And they've contributed to electricity bill spikes — all while receiving millions of dollars in tax breaks. Is it any wonder why a nationwide backlash against AI data centers is brewing?

More money has been invested in AI infrastructure than the Manhattan Project and the Apollo program combined. It is a risky bet and could devastate our economy on a scale similar to the 2008 financial crisis.

Billionaires are not your friends. People don’t have billions of dollars because they’re smart, hardworking individuals. They have that much money because they’re amoral sociopaths who would rather let people die in mass than part with a fraction of their wealth
