You know what’s interesting about something like the fediverse? It has a potential for families to have their own mastodon instance for starters..

What would it be like if the family had its own instance that didn’t really require any technological know how to just click a button set up your instance parents could or even the kids and with the deliberate intention of making it the family’s base into the Internet or into social media.

@BrianJopek

The only reason why somebody like Hegseth would lose his mind over a corporation stating they would not participate in military mass surveillance of the US population or an automated killing, is because they are planning to do it.

This is the same shit that went on in Gaza that is where all of this technology has been field tested already.

Gaza is a blueprint

It would be a total crying shame if people boosted that post and read and widely shared and discussed the article

@MichaelEMann @democracynow

I think it is most important to convey to people what they can do in their immediate communities to adapt to these conditions because they are not gonna go away, and if the conditions are not adapted to death and economic destruction are par for the course.

In a world where the national and global supply chains, and indeed the institutional structures are called and the question, people have the most agency by taking action locally.

It seems to me that not so much money could be used to save Cuba from a large amount of economic warfare

I hope there are a number of other measures they are taking to minimize their fossil fuel footprint; Cuba’s been dealing with economic warfare for a long time. The rest of the Americas should consider rallying around Cuba to insulate it as much as possible from the US.

Everything from the global supply chain is a risk factor for everyone

Chris Norlund has been discussing

THE 2028 GLOBAL INTELLIGENCE CRISIS

“ The sole intent of this piece is modeling a scenario that’s been relatively underexplored. ”

@economics_that_works

I hope to get around to actually reading this article myself, but the world of assumptions that people use when working through a scenario matter a lot here.

One of the chief issues is the assumption that the promises of AI are in any way realistic. If anyone has been reading the articles and research by Edward Zitron, he is pointing out that the basic financial statements being published by these companies demonstrate that the entire project is financially insolvent

@economics_that_works
It is an abdication of basic fiduciary responsibility. The GFC was a product of the auditor sector, giving up, analyzing the financial instruments that led to the crash.

They basically didn’t want to appear stupid and when the instruments became impossible to value, they just gave up and copied the assessment other people made.

In the current case, the market doesn’t even care about basic solvency. This is a completely different level of impunity and irresponsibility.

@economics_that_works

Alan Greenspan was credited for the phrase, irrational exuberance. The current economy experiences such a level of impunity that that there is no rational criteria being applied everything is just taken at face value.

Every element of the economy has forsaken it’s critical faculty, a level of fiduciary and economic negligence that cannot go unpunished and I will argue is of a piece of the epstein economy

The question you need to ask about Gavin Newsom, is if you can see him hanging out with epstein and the boys or not.

That’s the only question you need to ask of yourself

It really does suggest that more women should get into farming, right?

Well, that’s one way to keep those kind of assholes from speeding

Oh hey middle class Americans are selling plasma to make ends meet. Apparently, when plasma centers open up in a neighborhood, crime goes down and payday lending declines. It’s almost like if people have enough income that the world becomes a better place.

But let’s talk about how Ai is going to change work where the 12 richest people in the world controls the entire fucking economy, and there’s nothing we can do about it because it’s inevitable

Probably the most genuinely cool development in a very long time

You may have seen the news that Zuckerberg wants to deploy facial recognition in Meta glasses.

I think they deserve a nickname as to all the products these demented morbidly wealthy demonic psychopaths push o to thre world:

Pedo-cams and pedo-products

Epstein network devices

So people may have seen the news that Anthropic fired a senior AI executive because she objected to the development of AI girlfriends, because they say anything about it is discriminatory against men.

The epstein tech bros have made it their purpose to indoctrinate misogyny into engineering, demanding the emergence of an engineering culture to confront it,

..

The fact that men are being victimized by AI girlfriend should not go on remarked.

If anyone even needs to think about the emotional and developmental harm inflicted by developing, presumably an artificial emotional relationship with a piece of software controlled by men who are sadistic, ruthless, fascist totalitarian assholes. And they’re going to get young men or men in general hooked on these girlfriends.

If Johnson isn’t going to call for Lutnick to resign, then I have a recommendation for Johnson.

But then why stop at Johnson?
