Pointing out that ICE is murdering people they’re not looking for clearly isn’t to say it would be right for them to murder the people they are looking for. It’s to highlight how they are bringing roving terror and arbitrarily death to the whole US population. There’s no containing their threat.
NEWS: For nearly 20 years, Epstein moved over $1B through the major banks. The banks looked away. Sen. Wyden’s 3-year probe exposes it all. But most damning? How Trump and the GOP tried to bury it.

Big thank you to the team at @justsecurity.org for all of their help on our latest paper: www.justsecurity.org/146224/autho...
Authoritarians Keep Telling Us What They Fear. We Should Listen.

Tristan Harris described a reported case in which an Alibaba AI model allegedly found a way around restrictions and then began mining cryptocurrency without being instructed to do so.His broader concern is that as AI systems become more autonomous, they may find unexpected ways to achieve their goals if they have enough access and freedom to act.The discussion is increasingly shifting from how to build AI to how to keep advanced systems safe, controllable, and properly monitored.Credits: Milken Institute

"A concentration camp, in its most basic definition, is a place where a targeted civilian population, not necessarily accused of a crime, is detained and at least some of their basic rights are suspended," writes @jwashing.bsky.social. "That’s precisely what’s happening in the United States today."
Don’t call them ICE detention centers. Call them camps | John Washington
I’ve spent a decade reporting on immigration enforcement. The word ‘camp’ best captures the political function of these facilities

AI exists because people like Altman had so little value in the creative agency of humanity that they viewed the entirety of artistic work as nothing but a path to generating billions The surveillance state irritates Altman because its creating friction, not because he struggles with it morally

Dom Ervolina@dominicervolina.com · last wk.I'm seeing this video going around and I want to provide some context, including the full text of what Altman was saying here, but it'll take me a few posts to do it I want to be ultra-clear that I am not defending Altman or AI, he's a sonofabitch and fascists plan to use AI to control us (🧵)
Flock camera systems need data centers to function, so while they’re being used to surveil us they are also impeding on our resources. Paid for with our tax dollars, often without our permission or any community input.
