The AI replacement layoffs are to be brutal when the crash hits.

“The cuts are the first step in a restructuring process that Target hopes will strengthen its management and accelerate the use of new technology, according to the memo.”

The New York Times @nytimes.com · 4h

With governments struggling to recruit soldiers, private military companies provide an inexpensive substitute, in part because they do not require the same training, pensions and benefits

The dialogue is a whole other thing but the bit about "fuck you shoot me I'll die for this shit" and the reaction is the crux here, from Gandhi's time on down, no authoritarian in history ever knows how to respond to this and it's why it beats them whenever deployed

As contrast, this is a bad headline/subheadline.

Headline: assumes/agrees the east wing needed to be demolished

Subhead: is just “Trump said” bs

Good headline/subheadline.

And he joined the government.
And he put GenAI in X, which has awesome capability for manipulating users, and it also went full Nazi.

And, for some insane reason, real thinking humans remain on the State Media Neo Nazi Indoctrination Machine

Zuckerberg’s reaction to the scandal was to restrict access to info about what FB was doing to users, so they wouldn’t get caught again.

Twitter used to be open to researchers who could track and report on this kind of manipulation. Musk has essentially shut all that work down.

There was a reason Cambridge Analytica was a scandal. These platforms have so much information on users and their behavior, it’s nothing to build algorithms that gradually indoctrinate you.

Musk is a Nazi and he built an indoctrination machine. That’s all X is now

Elon Musk Wants ‘Strong Influence’ Over the ‘Robot Army’ He's Building

In a Tesla earnings call Wednesday, the world's richest man pondered the future of his company's Optimus robots—and his control over them.

On a call with investors Wednesday, Musk locked onto that last point to make his most threatening argument for a gigantic payday yet. “My fundamental concern with regard to how much voting control I have at Tesla is, if I go ahead and build this enormous robot army, can I just be ousted at some point in the future?” he said. “If we build this robot army, do I have at least a strong influence over this robot army? Not control, but a strong influence … I don't feel comfortable building that robot army unless I have a strong influence.”

A kayfabe screaming match between two dems about how badly Trump needs to be punished for destroying the White House would be the first time Fox News viewers learn it’s happening.

Schumer and Jeffries suck at this because they always accept Trump’s framing, and then play defense to protect a status quo that’s already disintegrated.

Need to start with a vision of what the After looks like and work backward, and attack attack attack.

Billionaires own the communication channels and are currently, right now, saturating us with propaganda. But the channels also have reflexive instincts that can be used. Teach the controversy and all that.

The controversy is: which jail Trump goes to. Max vs min security? Dems in disarray over it.

_ o o _ @bo0l0od.bsky.social · 1d

Just clicking through foxnews and cnn sites… it’s not news. Merkley’s speech is breaking through a bit. Fox covers dems fighting.

So that’s the bait. Dems need to start and intramural fight. The question is how badly Trump and his followers need to be punished for the destruction. Jail vs. exile.

NEW YORK – New York Attorney General Letitia James is encouraging New Yorkers to submit videos or other documentation of federal immigration enforcement actions in New York following yesterday’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raid on Canal Street in New York City.

“Every New Yorker has the right to live without fear or intimidation,” said Attorney General James. “If you witnessed and documented ICE activity yesterday, I urge you to share that footage with my office. We are committed to reviewing these reports and assessing any violations of law. No one should be subject to unlawful questioning, detention, or intimidation.”

Attorney General James is asking New Yorkers to share photos or videos of federal government actions using the Office of the Attorney General’s new online portal.

I’m more mad about the sword, which I only learned existed when he tried to steal it.

Probably because he tried to give it away to a king, and also fucked over a guy’s career. And swords are cool.

Not his house.

Not his sword.

It’s good to get real mad when somewhen steals and breaks your nice things.
