Palantir's highly controversial AI & surveillance technologies are central to US, Israeli and other military systems. But they're increasingly being used in the food industry, e.g. by meat giant Tyson (sentientmedia.org/tyson-foods-...) and others

Relevant from Blood Money Campaign Myanmar calling for international community & INGOs ensure that aid genuinely reaches people in need.
"Help in Hand" We are deeply saddened by the loss of lives, homes, and families due to the devastating earthquake that struck today, March 28, at approximately 12:50 PM. Our hearts break with theirs in this moment of profound sorrow. As the terrorist Myanmar military junta continues to carry out daily airstrikes and attacks on civilians, and as our people are already suffering from the impacts of war, this natural disaster further compounds their already overwhelming hardship. It is urgently needed for people to support one another, both emotionally and materially, with effective assistance. We, the Blood Money Campaign (BMC), strongly urge and demand that international governments and humanitarian aid organizations ensure that emergency relief and assistance for the people in earthquake- affected areas within the country are provided through civil society organizations (CSOs) and community-based organizations (CBOs), both ground-based and those in border areas, to ensure that aid genuinely reaches the people in need.
