Witnessing the most senseless of wars, Čapek (1920) exposed the faulty logic that linked technological acceleration to social progress. Capek said of robots, “they must be produced although they are a war industry, or rather because they are a war industry.” He invented the term robot.

Looks like Anthropic is back at the table with the bloodthirsty military of a war-mongering, school-bombing dictatorship.

Tegmark's Life 3.O (2017) spells out the plan in the 'Tale of the Omega Team'...and it is 'world power.' A sick cult of tech bros.

Even the name of this scummy little gremlin of an organization.

It might as well be called the "Adolf Hitler Memorial Institute for the Future of the Master Race."

What the actual fuck is going on? I increasingly feel like I like inside an opium hallucination.

I discovered something that just nauseated me to my core today - Polymarket has a huge number of bets running on climate impacts and disasters

An entirely new flavour of disaster capitalism

White background. Quote reads "The promises of planet-saving tech remain hollow, while Al data centres breathe life into coal and gas every day. These claims of climate benefit are unjustified and overhyped, and could cover up irreversible damage being done to communities and society." Attribution reads “Ketan Joshi, Independent climate and energy analyst”. Footer line. “The new Al climate hoax is here. Brought to you by: [Logos for Google, OpeNAI, Microsoft, Meta] and more…” “Parody. Not a message from the companies shown. Based on independent research.”

White background. “Generative Al consumes, and will consume significantly more energy than 'traditional' Al.” Graph shows energy consumption for Generative AI versus Traditional AI, with the former showing a much higher amount than the latter. Footer line. “The new Al climate hoax is here. Brought to you by: [Logos for Google, OpeNAI, Microsoft, Meta] and more…” “Parody. Not a message from the companies shown. Based on independent research.”

White background. “Pretending the two technologies are the same is a deceptive bait-and-switch and a new form of greenwashing used by many tech companies. It's critical we identify it for what it is and call it out. Read the report and help us spread the word.” Photo of polluting industries with an icon of glasses with the lens inside showing thriving, futuristic infrastructure. Footer line. “The new Al climate hoax is here. Brought to you by: [Logos for Google, OpeNAI, Microsoft, Meta] and more…” “Parody. Not a message from the companies shown. Based on independent research.”

Can consumer generative AI products like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Copilot solve climate change? #BigTech companies certainly want you to think so, but the evidence says otherwise.

PM @mark-carney.bsky.social Please direct PMO, PCO, fed govt departments and Crown Corps to stop using Twitter/X. It’s a cesspool of hate, misogyny and racism. It also poses a threat to our democracy and should not be supported by our govt. #BanTwitter #BanX

No government in Canada should be using X. In fact X should be banned entirely in Canada

All while techbros enjoy profits: "the gospel of AI-enabled precision and accuracy has now been revealed as a pretext for the acceleration of unrestrained and criminal acts of killing." ainowinstitute.org/publications...

So tired of sketchy marketing CEOs being funded by government research grants! On top of the many other problems with this plan, RAG is even more energy intensive.

Capek said of robots (1920): “they must be produced although they are a war industry, or rather because they are a war industry.” And here we are with Big Tech that has not only emerged from the war industry but serves it.

Given this abdication by UKRI we badly need a Critical AI Research Council as a 'shadow' council to highlight where research is needed and _should_ be funded, and as an exercise in collectively and democratically addressing urgent questions.

As we’ve all been saying for many years 👇.

'Elon Musk’s X was the epicentre of Canadian conspiracy content, accounting for 70 per cent of likes and the majority of posts....a hub for deepfake pornographic images and misinformation, the platform remains a primary communication tool for Canadian politicians.'

Finally, someone saying it out loud. When did CEOs become more powerful than the people?" 🤔

Recent talk: "Automation, surveillance, the degradation of labour, and the upward transfer of wealth, not intelligence, are the backbone of the AI industry; the first use of the term robot in Karel Capek’s 1920s comedy R.U.R., derived from the Czech word robota, means servitude or forced labor. "

CBC needs to get this guy back on air to comment on the international legal consequences of another blatantly illegal strike by the US (and Israel this time)

The cult that wants to give human rights to robots Anthropic’s ‘Claude Constitution’ reflects the misanthropic, ultra-utilitarian Effective Altruism agenda.

"Anthropic is guilty not only of wildly exaggerating the capabilities of AI, and promoting dystopian fantasies of ‘AI doom’, but also quietly advocating the deeply misanthropic philosophy on which it was founded.

Why is there so much overlap between
- techbros billionaires
- building infrastructure of mass destruction and
- prepping for the apocalypse?

After the Great War, Čapek exposed the faulty logic that linked technological acceleration to social progress; he said of robots (his term), “they must be produced although they are a war industry, or rather because they are a war industry.” Big Tech both emerged from the war industry and serves it.

Radical I know...but what if democracies listened to people who voted for them rather than Big Tech CEOs.

"The model proposed by the declaration thus paves the way for bilateral governance between Big Tech and major states — with the Global South reduced to the role of consumer and data supplier."

that quote reminds me of the opening quote we used @andreaeyleen.bsky.social here:

[A]ll science would be superfluous if the outward appearance and the essence of things directly coincided. (Marx, 1894, p. 592) doi.org/10.1007/s421...

so even a baby knows "correlation does not imply cognition" 🙃

Oh... shocking...imagine that corporate-owned chabots"predicting"

Carney Allowed Gas-powered AI Data Centres After Lobbying From Alberta Energy Company The Alberta gas giant Capital Power lobbied the government 37 times in the lead-up to an accord suspending clean energy regulations, federal records show.

“The Alberta electricity company Capital Power, which is developing a large new AI data centre in the province powered by natural gas, lobbied the federal Mark Carney government dozens of times last year to eliminate clean energy regulations.”

“These regulations were subsequently dropped.”

Data Center Dems need to wake the fuck up and realize that siding with Mark Andreessen and Elon Musk and Peter Thiel is political suicide, in addition to being just plain wrong.

Why do people vote for mini-Trump???
