The Government Uses Targeted Advertising to Track Your Location. The online advertising industry has built a massive surveillance machine, and the government can co-opt it to spy on us.

He’s literally trying to use this war to *checks notes*...

Make us forget about the Epstein files, bait us into funding DHS without any guardrails on ICE’s lawless behavior...and now let Netanyahu off the hook.

No, no, and no.

I can't think of any decent use for AI at scale besides diagnosing certain diseases from scans. Anyway we need 99% fewer data centers given the extremely low positive-use ROI.

Every single "key employee" at Aeon or CommonBond got paid 2.5 to 5 times more than I did as a lowly tenant's rights attorney, and I promise you I did 100x more for their tenants than they ever tried to do. They're a pox on our state. Parasites.
