The practice of AI companies secretly buying millions of old books (some vanishingly rare), scanning them for AI training, then destroying them, epitomises everything that is wrong with today's exploitative AI industry. 🧵 1/2

Andrew and Tristan Tate were arrested for CSAM related charges, Tulsi Gabbard's brother arrested for trying to lure children to his hotel room and JK Rowling was caught taking upskirt photos of a trans woman and posting them online. All the transphobic monsters are being exposed

Police state. By definition. Silencing journalists to put whatever spin they want on the news. How many Indigenous women have been killed or raped by RCMP officers and if a journalist tries to cover the story are they in danger?

I feel like Dead by Daylight's Black Banquet event would be more entertaining if killers could also eat the morsels before dessert instead of poisoning them. If only because the killer being able to go invisible like survivors can feels fair.

Played through the demo of Up-Beat!!! just now. I'm really eager for when this game drops (though I'm not sure how I feel about Killer Kat, I think she absolutely has both history and an agenda with our protagonist). Of the opponents, Carney and Alice (The Machine) definitely got my attention.

Real AI facts no cheerleader will tell you: -not a single AI company has turned a profit (except Nvidia the chips dealer) -thousands of CEO's have said it it had no impact on productivity -China released another model (zAI) that is open source free and more powerful than every competitor

Governments are chasing AI investment, even as their publics turn against the technology and the data centers that power it. Canada’s Mark Carney has chosen a shameless approach: to cast the opposition as a lack of “literacy” as he sets out to (re)educate Canadians about the benefits of AI.

The main difference between Idiocracy and reality is that Camacho was someone who had the sense and humility to turn to the protagonists for help on making the country better.

My son made me aware of this. This is a 300 franchise business: imagine what large corporations are doing to people. This video describes the claimed theft of a sick old man’s $200k Lego collection his son was selling to pay his Dad’s medical bills If you buy legos from Bricks & Mini-Figs - be aware

I tracked down the thief who stole $200,000 of LEGO
