If anyone pays protestors to attend Trump rallies it's Trump. Why? Look at how the crowd reacts. The thrill of the enemy, defeated. The thrill of fellow feeling. It's us v them & they've infiltrated our sacred place, attacking us. But look at how strong we are! We can kick out the enemy within. 😵‍💫

Sam Altman said people are just gonna have to die in order to implement AI. In the very same week, Anthropic claimed it’s a human rights violation to be mean to the computer. These people need to be held accountable. They think lines of code are a person with rights but living people are debris.

A key component of the Cambridge Analytica outrage was your friends subjecting you to data theft without your consent or knowledge. Facebook is running the same playbook on your text messages. Even if you’re not on Meta properties, they’re ingesting your interactions.

Aten installed Muse on both his iPhone and a Mac mini that he uses to test out various Al agents and tech. It took Meta a single day to begin "helpfully" pitching article ideas based on texts he'd sent to a podcast co-host.
When he asked Muse how it got the information, it said that it read banners from incoming texts. But that's not true, either.
After doing a little digging, Aten says Muse synced 187,000 lines from his Messages database, despite Full Disk Access being Off.

Unless Aten is the most popular person on the face of the planet, I sincerely doubt he'd gotten 187,000 lines of text in roughly 24 hours. What happened is that, without permission, Muse went into the app and downloaded the information.
He had not given Muse permission to access Messages, and full disk access was not enabled. It just went ahead and uploaded those texts anyway.
Muse can take "unexpected actions" indeed.

Apparently for the MAGA true believers, there is no discernible difference between Trump and Jesus, and the animating force that unites them is hatred for and a desire to exterminate Muslims (or you can substitute trans people, Blacks, Hispanics, gays, Indian-Americans... as necessary).

This is part of the regime's attempt to crush organized labor and replace unionized TSA workers with contractors. They tried to eliminate workers bargaining rights last year, then forced them to work through the shutdown w/o pay for more than a month, and now this.

This is the key thing that so many debates about AI replacing jobs miss. Whether AI can do your job is not relevant. What's relevant is whether your boss believes (almost certainly incorrectly) that AI can do your job, or whether your boss wants to use AI as an excuse to let you go to 'cut costs'.

One more interesting point: this spring I sat down with Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes for an extensive interview about my Epstein investigation. Subsequently, CBS pulled the segment and fired the reporter. The MAGA buyout of media has unquestionably aided the Trump administration’s cover up here.
