Meta has enabled Muse to build extensive and ever-growing profiles on the orbit of people in a user’s life. Based on user input but also “publicly available information.” Whether that means a web search, Facebook’s own extensive data, or buying data broker info…we don’t know? And we can’t opt out.

You can't build a massive, multi-billion-dollar network of private detention camps and state-contracted prisons without a projected market that justifies the investment. Bodies in cells. They plan to fill every single bed and cot.

ICE builds more prisons because the goal is explicitly to warehouse surplus labor, criminalize poverty, and assert total control over all of society. When Stephen Miller claims there are 25, 30, or even 50 million "illegal immigrants" in the US, he's betting on how many of us he'll need to imprison

A while ago I got pushback from some other urbanists on here for arguing that the Manhattan Institute’s main function is to mainstream racism. But the idea that their work on fairly technical urban policy matters is as politically significant as what Rufo is doing just doesn’t pass the smell test.

NEW: According to a bombshell report in the New York Times, Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah threatened to walk out of Pope Leo XIV's Al encyclical launch in May because the pope rejected the idea that machines can be conscious.
Olah's team then privately lobbied the pope's advisers "to take the possibility of model consciousness seriously." Pope Leo XIV held firm.
For months, Anthropic has wined and dined theologians and religious scholars under nondisclosure agreements, hoping they would bless the idea that Claude has moral standing.

"In other words, the people who are the most 'polarized' in the U.S. electorate are those who are racist and sexist, and those who oppose racists and sexists."
Screenshot of article which reads: These numbers are relatively similar between Democrats and Repub-
licans, which often leads political pundits to claim this is more evidence 
of “polarization,” and that both sides are equally to blame. However, 
a closer look tells a more interesting story. The people who are most 
likely to vilify and dehumanize their partisan opponents are Republicans 
who are high in racism and sexism and Democrats who oppose racism 
and sexism. The people who are least likely to vilify and dehumanize 
their political opponents are Republicans who are low in racism and sex-
ism. One explanation for these patterns is that those Republicans who 
are racist and sexist vilify and dehumanize Democrats because they see 
the Democratic Party as a party of racial minorities and women; and 
Democrats who score low in racism and sexism will vilify and dehu-
manize Republicans because they consider Republicans to be racist and 
sexist. In other words, the people who are the most “polarized” in the 
U.S. electorate are those who are racist and sexist, and those who op-
pose racists and sexists.
