We’re watching AI roll out as if we have no choice, as if it’s inevitable. But why should we be spectators in this enormously dangerous game pushed by Big Tech? Why should we have to accept the hugely negative, potentially life-threatening consequences? We don't — and we shouldn't.
For nearly a decade, the Pentagon was warned—by its own contractors, analysts, and intelligence agencies—that anyone with a credit card could buy a map of where American troops sleep, work, and store nuclear weapons. Now the bill has come due in a war zone. My latest at @wired.com

Maybe this will finally get politicians to care about climate change: “The brutally hot summer is set to cost the EU economy €180 billion this year — that’s equivalent to roughly 1 percent of GDP, which is all the growth the bloc was expected to generate in 2026, according to new analysis.”
Europe’s scorching summer is erasing its economic growth, says report

Closing tax havens and taxing the biggest climate polluters could unlock US$1 TRILLION every single year to fund climate resilience, rebuild devastated communities, and transition to clean energy. We don't need vague promises. We need bold action from our governments.

Trump is using the power of the government regulatory state to coerce companies into turning over huge ownership stakes in their businesses to the federal government while calling Democrats communists.

A prime example of the sheer level of utter ignorance displayed by the common MAGA fools. You can't take anything Trump or his goons say at face value.
Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com · 6d agoDid you guys see this? I feel sorry for both of them, but I can’t wrap my head around it. John supported Trump and his extreme immigration policies while his own fiancée was undocumented. Of course she was going to be a target.
