ICE agents are walking around with a list of 20 million people to detain in their pockets because of this Palantir database: www.404media.co/ice-agents-h...
ICE Agents Have List of 20 Million People on Their iPhones Thanks to Palantir

Palantir “shamelessly used mock-MoMA branding for the logo + as a leitmotif for the entire [AIPcon] event… The conference employed, as a projected stage backdrop for Karp, Abstract Expressionish painting simulations… Flashing above their heads was the tagline THERE IS ONLY THE ARTIST AND THE WORK.”

Love it when our nation’s defense contractors all spend their Friday nights subtweeting each other about killing everyone in the world
"I hope you die" is weak. "I hope that obscure Japanese-only game you wanna play gets a fan translation done entirely by ChatGPT" is way more hurtful. It's real. It could happen to anyone.
