You don't have to keep committing to the bit. We just spent the last several years establishing that it's under no one's power to hold CEOs accountable for who they sleep with (putting it mildly). But the compromised leaders of the free world's state secrets are not a concern in that case! Only a concern for this one CEO who's got to go. (And fuck him)

It should be paid for by any of the near-monopoly ISPs who were lobbying against this, whose networks will see minimal added strain due to more "welfare phones". thanks for expanding on your disdain for the public though

Holy illusion of scarcity, batman!

Yes dear reader, don't grab your pitchforks because Huang and nvidia intend to reduce you to renting your video card from them in perpetuity (meanwhile they sell the AI companies hardware that is meant to sit in inventory).. grab your pitchforks because, china bad!

Is the 10% number astute or just trend chasing? Dropbox and ebay have issued layoffs with that target within the last few weeks, as well as a handful of smaller companies

Are we pretending like Russia in 2026 has an established defense sector capable of AI killing platforms? What you just said is pretty much an implicit argument in support of Palantir and Anduril. It's just like the "if we don't do it the chinese will do it first" rhetoric about AI only for automated killing. There's another country that actually does deploy this on civilian populations, look up the murder systems "Daddy's home" and "Lavender"

Yes but the overarching tone of it is blaming the public for what corporations have lined up for us. The claim that the public is induced into extremism like ISIS is especially absurd considering the US and its allies created ISIS, which explains why they are now good friends with one of its bloodthirsty former leaders al-Jolani, who is allowing Syria to be bled dry.

But yeah, sure, some private facebook group is the problem--thanks a lot, Rita Katz.

Yes, a self-ordained "white european master race", you said it yourself, and it's just as Theodor Herzl presented it to the europeans. The fact that most zionists in american politics are self-described crhistians is entirely beside the point

Zei is right 95% of the time, and horseshoe theory is the sword on which the politically illiterate continue to proudly impale themselves

"Pinhasi, who described himself to ProPublica as a former IT security intelligence officer for the Israeli military, said in 2019 that MonsterCloud handled up to 30 calls a day and had about 20 employees in South Florida as well as extensive global contacts."

But of course, when Israeli intelligence is absorbed into positions of power at amazon, google, meta, etc., it's somehow considered a good thing.

The OS for consumers hasn't been their moneymaker for a long time. They'd make more money harvesting user data from free users than they do from selling it.

Sure but we're actually far along on that one, as our Ukraine involvement for years has served to isolate europe (germany in particular) and strangle its access to fossil fuels

I don't disagree with the bulk of that, but this story isn't really centered on the media is it? And as for attacking "their own" infrastructure, well whose infrastructure exactly? The gaza genocide has shown us the blueprint of treatment for non-compliant populations.

It will probably be applied domestically more than it is internationally
