Nu har över 100 organisationer, däribland flera svenska fackförbund så som ST, Kommunal, Vårdförbundet, Vision, skrivit under ett öppet brev som uppmanar Europa att helt sluta använda Palantir. Ett klokt upprop mot en programvara för massövervakning. www.expressen.se/nyheter/krim...

AI is now the biggest investment in all of US history as a percentage of GDP. Datacenter construction is up, all other construction is down. "AI Is Squeezing Out the Rest of the Stock Market," reported WSJ 2 days ago. We basically bet the whole economy on the most optimistic visions panning out.

The rush to accuse, without anything approaching due diligence, artists of using "AI," should be treated with contempt. An artist gets their work *ripped off* to train a plagiarism machine, which then shits out inferior versions of that work, so then you accuse the artist of using "AI"? Fuck you.

Att beskriva Alex Karp som kontroversiell men engagerad för demokratin, som SVT har gjort här, känns rätt så bisarrt. Jämför det med @karinp.bsky.social text om honom från ifjol. www.svt.se/nyheter/loka... www.aftonbladet.se/kultur/a/vrk...
Det handlar i huvudsak om konflikt, dominans och kontroll.

Kriget rasar redan, lyder budskapet, och bara de starka överlever. Det bultande hjärtat i kampen som Palantir för är USA, och uppgiften för Silicon Valley är att stärka imperiets makt – militärt och polisiärt – med övervakningskapacitet.

Problemet (eller snarare ett av dem) är att demokratin tenderar att vara ett hinder i allt detta. Den är mjuk – Karp använder det motbjudande uttrycket ”psykologisering” för att beskriva vad han tycker har gått fel. ”Den försiktighet i det offentliga livet som vi omedvetet främjar”, säger Karp, ”är frätande.”

Med andra ord: allt bjäbb och demokratins eviga diskussioner är uttryck för svaghet.

 

Företaget han är vd för, Palantir, har inte bara som mål att tjäna pengar utan är också ett politiskt projekt. Det de säljer är mjukvaruplattformar som analyserar enorma mängder data. Kunderna är framför allt militär, polismyndigheter och storföretag. I praktiken vill Palantir ta över statens roll i dess mest centrala funktioner: övervakning, våldsmonopol, försvar.

NYT has now independently corroborated all the major allegations against Susan Collins in the ProPublica report, including that investigators were prepared to move against her and then Trump intervened to shut it down. This put Trump in a position of exceptional and extortionate leverage over her.

The inquiry was closed last year because senior bureau officials questioned the veracity of a campaign donor’s account, according to current and former officials.

Disturbing discourse coming from political right in Sweden that only reason for narrow Left-Green-Center win was that citizens w/immigrant background voted for that bloc. Yet another no-win for immigrants. Don't vote? Not integrating, hate democracy. Do vote? Clearly brainwashed, ruining democracy.

Om AI-skolan ger 30 procent sämre resultat men kostar 50 procent mindre än dagens skola är den 40 procent mer kostnadseffektiv. Jag tror att det är så vi måste förstå de politiska incitamenten för mer AI i skolan (gäller kanske all AI). Irrationellt såklart, men NPM skapar inte rationell politik.

No fucking shit buddy. This is what we were trying to tell you.
Milo Yiannopoulos: "I didn't really understand the physical reality of how institutionalized the brutality is in America. The manner in which they arrest you, they put you in manacles, everybody is arrested like an MS 13 gang member. 
It was physically degrading. It was frightening. I don't think I've ever been frightened like that before. I was weeping like an old woman for an hour. I wouldn't wish it on anyone."
