You would think computer RAM becoming more expensive than an entire computer would strike at least *one* large country as a national security risk ...
This is bigger than "AI companies are buying all the RAM."

This is "AI companies are ruining the larger market because they're bribing RAM manufacturers and no regulators anywhere in the entire world are moving to stop them."

Capitalism is incompatible with society.

When we heard POTUS is now calling himself "The President of Peace," we both said, "'E's not the Messiah! 'E's a very naughty boy!"

(Apologies to Brian for the comparison. 'E's a rather good boy.)

I've said for years that Twitter has become nothing but a hate site and a vector for harassment.

And now it's a doxxing tool.

Get the fuck off of Twitter, now. And pressure the organizations you work with to get off.

It's a danger to everyone's safety.
NEW: Elon Musk's Grok chatbot will, with minimal prompting, provide residential addresses of everyday Americans.

Prompts as simple as "[name] address" immediately returned accurate home addresses of private citizens — alongside other personal info we didn't ask for.
