There are so many reasons this wanton destruction is a travesty, so it's no surprise that a project that requires actual intelligence, skill, planning and permits is being driven by stupidity, malice and ignorance.

Excellent:
"What value, after all, is there in automating art, thinking, or reading – especially in educational and academic settings? None. On the contrary, automation of knowledge and culture by private companies is a worrying prospect – conjuring dystopian and outright fascistic scenarios."
“The deskilling, denigration, and displacement of teachers and scholars have historically been central to fascist takeovers, since educators serve as bulwarks against propaganda, anti-intellectualism, and illiteracy.” — @olivia.science

Brilliant article. You've destroyed every false tech talking point from their claims to human-like capability to inevitability. Thank you.
We will pay in soaring electricity costs and water shortages so that billionaires can reap more profit from the theft of our art.
All the tech broligarchs are paying to destroy the White House. It could not be clearer that the companies listed support fascism.
This is who is paying for the destruction of the White House East Wing, per @wsj.com

"The apparent achievements of these systems rest on the wholesale theft of humans’ intellectual labor. Most notably, LLMs have been trained by scraping books & scholarly works w/o the authors’ or publishers’ consent … remixing them into patchwork plagiarism packaged as human-like responses"

Why does the oligarchy love Trump?

Yes, the tax cuts — but that’s not all.

Watch.
AI also steals all creative labor - visual art, filmmaking, writing, poetry, music.
“While the AI industry claims its models can “think,” “reason,” and “learn,” their supposed achievements rest on marketing hype and stolen intellectual labor. In reality, AI erodes academic freedom, weakens critical reading, and subordinates the pursuit of knowledge to corporate interests.”

PORTLAND — Robby Roadsteamer grabbed by ICE for singing… 🎵
More of this in the world, please.
An antifa commander strategically positions his tank to do battle with Trump's Nazi ICE Gestapo in war ravaged Portland. 😂🤣👇
"To be a Republican in 2025 represents a clear public confession that you either don't know the difference between good and evil and you're so morally empty that you can't be bothered to begin to try"

Six out of eight of the largest mass-movement protests in US history have happened since 2017. You wouldn't know this from most media reporting, and you sure af wouldn't know this from the way either major party has reacted.
This is happening all over Amazon. Here is one of 14 books by "Neill Reich" stealing the work of famous author Tara Swart. All the books were written in July/August 2025 and are less than 70 pages.
