There’s no sovereignty in a world where the US can simply call for a server that didn’t violate any law in the Netherlands to be switched off, and that server immediately goes off. America is a terrorist State. And we don’t deal with terrorists.

The way the global media seemed to make out Trump had a win when the real story is that Trump once again was outwitted. They are not on our side and we should stop pretending they are. #trump #Denmark #Media #FourthEstate #Politics

Denmark just pulled off the diplomatic
heist of the decade. They basically got
Trump to re-sign the 1951 Greenland
agreement, but added a genius "poison
pill": the deal is only valid as long as the
US stays in NATO. Trump gets the
domestic headline, but Denmark quietly
locked them into the European security
architecture. Masterful.

Dear journalists: it's not "AI escaped", it's "AI companies failed to restrict the programs". Programs that did exactly what they were instructed to do. By those companies. Place the blame where it belongs.

I know this is a bit of a pipe dream, but just a few very simple policy changes could transform our entire society: 1. Tax the rich. A wealth tax that applies not just to income, but investments and capital gains as well. 2. No outside money in politics […] [Original post on shakedown.social]
Chart showing that the top 100 richest people in the US own more than the entire bottom 50% of the population combined. Let me remind you: payola is Amazon's single largest source of profits. When I was researching Enshittification, Amazon's take from payola was in the mid-$30 billion. A year later, when I did tour stops with Tim Wu (who was promoting his excellent book The Age of Extraction), I learned that this number had climbed to more than $50 billion. This year, it's on track to top $80 billion.

Let's do this! #AI
A bluesky post by Angry Eagle saying

Better idea: instead of replacing the workforce with AI agents, let's replace the executives.

Then all the profits won't get hoarded at the top, since the AI won't take huge compensations -- or any payment beyond their use cost really.

Unions can vote on the AI's business objectives.
