Corrupt tech billionaires are buying power to tilt the world in their favor.
Even the co-founder of Y Combinator is saying it. ⬇️
The radical death cult rising from Silicon Valley venture capital is metastasizing rapidly.
It's an existential threat to democracy and humanity.

One funny thing Elon Musk figured out about the media is if, instead of providing comment to reporters, you email back an automated reply saying "go fuck yourself," the reporters will just invent their own plausible-sounding defense of your conduct to balance their stories instead of punishing you

please help me report these Steam reviews (that ridicule my SA) made to my games. steam moderators cleared them as acceptable (so i can’t flag them) but i don’t think calling me a slur & bringing up my r*pist is acceptable.

This is honestly the data economy in a nutshell. The data is almost always used to maximize profits and if you're willing to be completely unethical, you have a lot of opportunities to screw everyone.

Unbelievably bleak to see journalists quoting an LLM bot's output as if it's an agent capable of making statements that mean something.

All these psychos having conniptions about the mayor’s wife’s $600 boots. They were on loan, like most of her outfit, according to a stylist. 🙄

one of my recent preoccupations is the visceral hostility the MAGA right has for the histories and traditions of the United States. these are people who spit on the Declaration and salute third-rate European despots!
It's striking that progressives like Tim Walz and Zohran Mamdani evoke the middle American attitude that, "Yes, we can fix these social problems because we're Americans and it's the right thing to do!" While the "America first" right only emulates failed and failing nation-states elsewhere.

Something I think about a lot is the active process of divorcing yourself from evil companies: Microsoft, X, Google, countless others. I think there’s a real importance to articulating each of their use cases and dismantling them, making alternatives viable, otherwise the effort is stillborne.

Crunchyroll having bad AI captions for Gundam despite actual legitimate captions existing is so wild. They don’t have to use these!! They’re putting in more effort to make their product worse!!
Here's the ones from my Gundam watch thread (which is #PhoenixWatches0079 if you want context for them)

The automated sexual abuse that Musk is doing right now should be national news. People should be going to prison for this shit. The logical conclusion to generative image creation and the internet, pure public automatic violence. Every Pizzagate fear just out in the open.

This is why I’m open about the fact that I’ve cancelled my CrunchyRoll subscription. If they’re not putting that money towards their talent or improving the quality of their service, then ethically I cannot see the purpose in continuing to give them money
actual quote from a language company executive: “Why should we pay for higher quality translations when people will happily pay us for poorer quality translations?”
"ai is going to take your job" was just the capitalists admitting they can give us trash and we have to take it

undoing a bunch of the horrific shit leftover from previous administrations is such a low bar for politicians, yet one labour + democrats repeatedly fail. refreshing to see Mamdani show that this is Day 1 shit
Mamdani went straight to work.
He revoked all executive orders signed by former mayor Eric Adams that were signed after his criminal indictment in September 2024.

In this in-depth interview Billie Jean Sweeney — a former editor at The New York Times — details how the paper shifted towards openly promoting anti-trans hatred, why this was directed from the very top, how some staff pushed back and the immense damage done by the NYT legitimizing bigotry.
