YOUR PROBLEM IS NOT THAT WOMEN AND QUEERS AND NONWHITES HAVE MORE AGENCY, YOUR PROBLEM IS THAT YOU HAVE LESS BECAUSE THE RICH WHITE CISHET MALE CAPITALISTS ARE STEALING IT FROM YOU BECAUSE THEY'RE STEALING IT FROM ALL OF US WHICH IS WHY THE REST OF US ARE FIGHTING SO SHOW SOME FUCKING SOLIDARITY

This is pretty catastrophic and I'm not sure how either of these companies reverse the trend. It really appears the AI bubble is based on the whims of maybe a few hundred companies spending money on two companies to justify five companies spending money with one company.

New from Ramp data: the latest threat to the AI trade. AI companies' revenues are heavily dependent on a small set of customers. 80% of OpenAI and Anthropic's enterprise revenues come from 1% of their customers, and it's not getting better.

THE ENTIRE WEBSITE IS VIBE-CODED (aka solely AI coded with no human feedback), IT HAS MULTIPLE SECURITY VULNERABILITIES, THEY PLAN TO TRAIN AI ON POSTS, AND THERES REPORTS OF IT FALSE-FLAGGING POSTS BECAUSE MODERATION IS AI AS WELL. DO NOT USE THIS PLATFORM. bsky.app/profile/cm30...

A new Twitter has launched, arguing that Musk’s X gave up the name. A judge hasn’t ruled on X Corp’s preliminary injunction, but Operation Bluebird has launched its new social media network: Twitter.now

As for his age: should he be unable to finish his term, the replacement process in MA heavily favors a Democrat. Moulton is an unacceptable replacement and voting for him on the basis of Markey's age alone is throwing trans kids under the bus to satisfy your own ageism.

Parton ("9 to 5," 1980) provides a more trenchant critique of capital than does Marx ("Das Kapital," 1867) because as a researcher, Parton correctly frames the problem of capital as exacerbating but not supplanting other pre-existing human dynamics such as gender roles. In this essay, I will

stop fucking crying. shut the fuck up. you are the weak men of your apocryphal aphorism about good times. you were given almost everything, you took the rest, and now youre crying about how this is all our fault. fuck off! god

🚨BREAKING: Our union of over 12,000 baristas are officially calling for a Starbucks boycott. Read this statement penned by Starbucks workers on why a boycott from ALL customers, allies, and organizations is necessary to fight back against corporate greed:

BOYCOTT STARBUCKS is written inside a zig-zaggy speech bubble against crumbled paper. Beside it are the Starbucks Workers United logo and an image of a coffee cup being poured out.We, the 12,000 and growing members of Starbucks Workers United, call on everyone who stands with working people to boycott Starbucks until they finalize a contract with union baristas and stop union-busting.
What we’re fighting for is simple: a minimum $17/hr wage, enough hours to live on, better staffing in our stores, and basic workplace protections. Every year, our living costs rise but our wages don’t keep up – a growing pressure many American workers are feeling as corporate greed accelerates unchecked in our country. 
Starbucks is banking on customers' blind loyalty to the integrity and values this company once stood for in order to keep squeezing them for profits. At a time when working-class people across the country are struggling in a challenging economy, it is no longer possible to be both a Starbucks customer and in support of workers; choosing to spend money at Starbucks is choosing a law breaking corporation over the baristas who make your coffee everyday exactly as you ask for it.
Starbucks has violated U.S. labor law more than any other company in modern history–the NLRB and its judges have found that Starbucks committed hundreds of labor violations and there are currently more than 550 unresolved unfair labor practice charges still pending against the company. Instead of finalizing a fair and reasonable union contract, Starbucks has repeatedly demonstrated a lack of care for the workers who fuel the company’s profits by wasting millions of dollars on AI and technology that doesn’t work, launching countless gimmicky drinks designed to distract from real problems, and inventing pointless policies that do nothing but make our jobs harder. 
This ongoing, irrational behavior by Starbucks and its refusal to settle a fair union contract with workers leaves us with no other choice than to call for a boycott. We know when working people stand up together, we win. 
No Contract? No Coffee.

There’s an aggressively paid for influence op going on right now to defend AI slop as art and protected speech across platforms. AI execs realize they have a problem and don’t wanna get Marie Antoinette’d. The free ChatGPT trip is the tip of the iceberg. First person to nail it down gets a Pulitzer.
