I acknowledge the traditional owners of this land on which I live, the melukerdee people of the South East Nation. Sovereignty has never been ceded. It always was and always will be Aboriginal land.

This is why Musk bought the White House for Trump in 2024. The level of corruption going on inside government is off the charts and I’m sure when this nightmare is over the true extent of that corruption will be way beyond our worst fears 😲🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 Thanks to the MorePerfectUS team for the clip.

Please post & repost (ad infinitum), even if you're not Australian or in Australia. If you're as horrified as many of us are, that this could happen here in Australia, for the reasons that it did, don't be. It's not the first time & won't be the last but we cannot let it stop us speaking out.

if you believe in any form of free enterprise at all, the idea that the Pentagon can not only cut off your contract but designate you a supply chain risk and prevent other companies from buying from you just because you won't build killbots for the government should be terrifying

What conservatives did to Bud Light in 2023, that's what progressives should do to ChatGPT in 2026. OpenAI is so vulnerable right now. With enough pressure, I think it's actually possible to take the whole company down. quitgpt.org

Countless opeds about Mamdani being a "socialist" and are literally any of those publications talking about Donald Trump not just claiming to take over a country but deciding what companies are allowed/not allowed to operate in that foreign country?

WASHINGTON—President Trump said he might block Exxon Mobil from drilling in Venezuela after the company’s top executive publicly acknowledged the barriers involved in doing business in the country.

“I’ll probably be inclined to keep Exxon out,” Trump said Sunday evening, speaking to reporters traveling with him aboard Air Force One. 

During a meeting with oil-company executives at the White House on Friday, Exxon Chief Executive Darren Woods said that Venezuela is currently “uninvestable” without significant changes to the country’s commercial frameworks, legal system and hydrocarbon laws. He expressed confidence those changes could be put in place with the Trump administration and Venezuelan government working together.

“I didn’t like their response. They’re playing too cute,” Trump said Sunday of Woods’s comments, adding that other companies want to invest in Venezuela.

Exxon didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

It is really really sinking in for me the degree to which LLMs are the ultimate expression of right wing anti-intellectualism. Its proponents are literally mocking the idea that anyone would ever want to learn anything, know anything, develop any actual skill, or have a thought of their own.
