To the best of my knowledge this is basically Mastercard Threat Intelligence and Recorded Future in a nutshell, and it’s easy to see how this could be used to discriminate based on numerous other qualities
I know that "man the future sucks I was promised rocket cars" is old hat but fuck me, "the AI that runs the bank's fraud department denied my transaction because it believed my tastes in porn were wrong" is some esoteric dystopian bullshit
I did some digging
MTI is based off "cyber threat intelligence from Recorded Future," which was acquired by MasterCard in 2024
Guess who was an early Recorded Future client? Bank of America

If you’re forcing employees to work in an office building when they could do the same job remotely, then they should be clocking in when they leave their driveway, and clocking out when they return to it. They should also be expensing all of their mileage. And lunch meals.
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

There has been a noticeable reticence in left and liberal circles to voice full-throated support for pornography, even as it's become increasingly clear what the open end goals of the censorship movement are
In a lot of ways other leftists chose this path folks. They shrugged and didn’t care when Patreon banned a ton of hypnosis and TF creators, or when YouTube started their ASMR crackdown. Now it’s coming for queer porn creators, more and more. Who will stand up?

The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.
