The Trump administration is working with private companies like Palantir to create detailed reports on every American, which could help them weaponize our personal information in their quest to deport immigrants and punish critics.
This is a huge threat to our constitutional rights.

We have been warned for years about AI becoming all-powerful and destroying the human race but of course the real danger is that these systems enable a lazy and reckless ruling class to offload decision-making and avoid accountability
Large language models like ChatGPT and DeepSeek are increasingly being looked at for their potential to help make decisions in high-stakes situations.

This NYT sleight-of-hand is part of why Trump’s insane racism flourishes. The implication is that it’s possible to “attack diversity” WITHOUT a “racist undercurrent.”
And it “surfaces” - as though Trump hasn’t been a rabid and explicit racist for years, and this is some new tone.
