The AI bubble may be about to bust.

Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock.

We all need to say this very clearly:

NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH!

Expropriate their asses instead.

They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet.

They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

It is nothing but an illusion called a ceasefire, a trick to make the world believe Gaza is safe, while extermination continues in silence and relentless cruelty. We endure life without the slightest means of human dignity, our bodies exhausted, our immunity almost nonexistent.

This exact same dynamic—dehumanizing fake content made entirely bc Facebook pays people to make it—played out in Myanmar in the run-up to a genocide. @karenhao.bsky.social laid it out in the starkest terms:

I fell into the deepest rabbithole on this stuff in 2023 and came out with 40k words on what exactly Meta did to enable and promote that genocide, and if you haven't read very far into the whole story, I can pretty much guarantee it is worse than you think it was.

AI-Generated Videos of ICE Raids Are Wildly Viral on Facebook
