The "value" of nuclear weapons is the way they're used as persistent psychological warfare by the ruling class against the world's population. "Are they really mad enough to kill us all this time?"

"the vulnerable will fall by the wayside" (Fauci) & "these are people who were unwell to begin with, and yes really encouraging news" (Walensky) are both quotes from the Biden admin - the eugenicist weaponization of public health amid the ongoing pandemic is a bipartisan project
Covid constitutes the largest mass disabling event in the United States since the Americans with Disabilities Act became law in 1990.
Now, the Trump administration’s anti-worker and anti-disability turn has created a climate of fear and difficulty around Long Covid accommodations. motherjones.com/politics/202…

As Anthropic prepares to IPO for over $1 trillion, a reminder of Dario Amodei’s words shortly after founding the company:
“Distributed human labor is being used to train AI models by large, centralized actors, who concentrate the resulting profits while in the long run making the human labor obsolete.”
In other words, this IPO will be built off the backs of the world’s creatives - who will get nothing out of it except obsolescence.
It is a totally unjust transfer of wealth and opportunity from artists, writers, musicians & other creatives to a tiny tech elite.
I hope it is remembered as such.
(this quote is from a document he wrote that was unsealed in Bartz v. Anthropic)

There is something really concerning (and disappointing) going on in the US right now.
A dangerous and preventable situation.
Let me explain.

En France, des livreurs Uber Eats s’organisent pour refuser collectivement les courses les moins rémunérées, en utilisant plusieurs téléphones.
Une stratégie qui pousse l’algorithme à augmenter les tarifs jusqu’à atteindre 15 € ou plus par livraison. 😳

This is NOT a concert.
This is NOT a festival.
This is Gaza today.
Tens of thousands of starving people running for a bag of flour 💔
This is what forced starvation looks like.
These criminals are OVERJOYED to gamble with our cash, snowball society into crisis, and then steal our livelihoods when it all blows up
The system is the problem. We need to build alternative economies, infrastructure, and institutions so these parasites only destroy themselves
"Speculative data center debt is being repackaged and sold to pension and retirement funds, university endowments, and other institutional investors in a manner eerily reminiscent of the subprime bubble."
