PM Carney makes it sound like we can insulate ourselves from Silicon Valley tycoons who genuflect to Trump and serve his authoritarian aims.

But how realistic is that as #BigTech hungers for our country?

California's politicians caved on AI safety regs, vetoing bills like AB 1064 to shield kids from harmful chatbots, all to keep tech giants from bolting with their billions and jobs. #BigTech

Could we please collect all the #morons, and put them back in the asylum, instead of having them run #BigTech, #BigData and the American government?

That would be great..

Nicht nur. Tracking wird auf breiter Front ermöglicht, sensible Daten BigTech zum Fraß vorgeworfen. Für gar keinen gesellschaftlichen Gegenwert.

So geht man mit rechtsbrecherischen Großunternehmen um, egal ob aus China oder US-Amerika.
#Frankreich macht's vor, die gesamte EU sollte schleunigst folgen!
Und diese Verbindlichkeit braucht es übrigens bei allen #BigTech-Unternehmen.

I recently got reach out from a headhunter for a startup. Not interested, I'm at BigTech but still...

Their pitch was whether I've seen the Terminator movie because they're building SkyNet with AI.
When I reminded them that SkyNet wasn't the good guy, they kinda chuckled...

#Seattle and more broadly, Washington state, will have to take down the tech oligarchs and retail giants like Amazon. Read the thread to understand why and HOW it’s possible. #pnw #washingtonstate #cascadia #amazon #microsoft #ups #starbucks #zillow #bigtech #oligarchy #eattherich
Oh and Seattle: YOU have a responsibility not only to your city, but the whole country and globe to ensure that you do the same. Why? BIG TECH. They have made Seattle their domain. They are a huge problem. It is going to be up to us to hold them accountable at a local and state level. #seattle
The real reasons why the elite parasites that we refer to as “wealthy” are scared of “socialists” like Zohran Mamdani taking office isn’t because of the fear of a 2% tax increase. Although, we know they truly do hate having to pay their fair share, the greedy cockroaches. What’s scares them is this🧵

I do think this is another dot com bubble but we have to remember that crash produced the BigTech we have today. So it is never proof that AI is going to disappear... we just need to place bets on which one will win.

My money is on Google
ICYMI: Microsoft’s charge “implies a more than $12 billion quarterly loss at OpenAI, said Firoz Valliji, an analyst at Bernstein.”

That “would mark one of the largest single-quarter losses for a tech company in history.”

An #AI startup in my hometown tricked singles who are fed up w dating-apps into swarming a #Costco for what it deceptively billed as an IRL night of fun. When I say I worry about #BigTech gutting the SOUL of #SF, look no further than this Deceptive stunt 😑 www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/c...
Costco Singles Night promised real-life romance — until an AI dating app showed up
Fed up with online dating, 200 singles in San Francisco turned to the aisles of Costco to find love. But there was also a twist.

So schön das klingt, es stimmt nicht. Seit Jahren wir Propaganda gemacht, von Industrie 4.0 bis KI-Hype, es soll alles effizienter machen und ist die Wachstumsbranche. Wer nicht mitmacht, geht unter. Die Politik macht mit, an der Seite von BigTech. Freiwillig ist das nicht - und viele haben Angst.

In the #US, PRIVATE tech platforms and #corporations are increasingly TAKING OVER GOVERNMENTAL FUNCTIONS.

Researchers have now made this system visible: on the interactive website they show the #AuthoritarianStack of #BigTech & how it is INCREASINGLY SPREADING to #Europe!
