Silicon Valley built the Maven AI system for the American military. @alexshultz.bsky.social looks at the disastrous role Maven has played in the first few days of the Iranian war:

Santa Cruz this morning 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
David Zaslav is doing to Hollywood what Donald Trump did to America. Huge job losses, the rapid destruction of the middle class, majority of people now living paycheck to paycheck, and all so they can further enrich themselves. The problem is the billionaires, not the working class.
i really want a reddit account back. keep getting accounts shut down every time i set them up. i've tried everything (diff emails, phone numbers, vpn, on desktop, on mobile) no matter what i did invariably after a few days they shut me down again. any advice
"A 90% accuracy rate, coupled with the ability to more quickly locate targets, still suggests lots and lots of catastrophes. Unlike other AI hallucinations, a screw-up by Maven doesn’t result in a funny TikTok about how ChatGPT can’t spell the word strawberry."

Report shows progress towards even cleaner EV supply chains, Tesla leads
Top-ranked automakers are leading by making specific, targeted interventions in real-world auto supply chains, rather than relying on generic policies & commitments on climate & human rights that obscure whether companies are making any real progress in transforming their dirty supply chains. 1/4
On billboard- YOUR TAX $ WASTED. ICE CRUELTY IS COSTING YOU $28 BILLION PAID FOR BY MAJENTE SUPPORT COMMITTEE

Two days ago 200+ Anti-ICE billboards I designed went up across the country in the following cities. tag me if you see them.
Phoenix
Bakersfield
Fresno
LA
Orange County,
San Bernardino
Miami
Chicago
Boston
Detroit
Charlotte

Fort Worth
Laredo
San Antonio
On Monday, the Mijente Support Committee launched a campaign to display more than 200 billboards across the country calling out ICE. Forty of those billboards are scattered across the Valley.
"Between the lines: The billboards come as state lawmakers have quietly acknowledged Floridians may be on the hook financially for immigration detention sites like Alligator Alcatraz."

170 school children.
Palantir, Amazon, Microsoft, Google, etc have made billions selling to the U.S. military a technology that promises an all-seeing eye to find all the bad guys and kill thousands of them instantly.
You and me are paying for these murders.
it's utterly pathological how the establishment press covers this stuff and normalizes trump and his regulators
zero acknowledgement whatsoever of the pay-to-play nature of corruption, or that the U.S. government is authoritarian
New billboards in L.A., across America decry ICE funding: ‘Your tax money wasted’
Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), you worked to limit the PATRIOT Act’s expansive reach. Will you also take a stand against mass surveillance backed by Palantir? The company that powers #ICE?
Protect our civil rights by pledging to reject Palantir $$$: purgepalantir.com/campaign-ple...

“While Palantir isn’t the company harvesting people’s data, it enables ICE to analyze data it obtains from other sources. In doing so, it enables the agency’s larger surveillance apparatus."
In total, Palantir has earned about $121.9 million in payments and obligations from ICE since 2023.
“They get billions to beat us up. We get layoffs and rent hikes.”

Ok this is good! Your tax money at work message covers affordability and the visual gets to the heart of the violence!

An advertorial I can get behind…
More organisations should be driving this point home. I can't think of a more effective protest than the guy who won the LA Controller election on the strength of billboards like this. Visually effective and shocking to see laid out.

"campaign is built on “the simple premise that our tax dollars should be used to make life more affordable for all of us instead of exponentially growing ICE’s budget.”
“After announcing a sudden and surprising deal with the Pentagon, OpenAI co-founder Sam Altman moved quickly this weekend to show he had won meaningful concessions from military leaders.
He hadn’t…”
Sam “Mr Shady” Altman
Hootsuite is contracting with ICE to monitor social media including street-level geolocation. It’s a Canada-based “B-Corp” supposedly for social benefit. Tell Hootsuite’s CEO what you think: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...
#ICEOutForGood #HootsuiteBoycott
I wonder if someone within OAI has the same response. If so, Godspeed (and message me if you need help). Signal: williamfitzgerald.22
“If it’s technically legal, then the US military can use OAI’s tech”
I remember Google lawyer Kent walker saying: “if it’s legal we’re doing it” in response to ask not to continue w/Maven contract (Google put AI into drones).
That response was drove me to mount a campaign against the contract.
NEW: On Friday night when OpenAI announced its Pentagon deal, people immediately challenged Sam Altman's claims. Why, they asked, would the DoD suddenly agree to red lines when it had clearly said it would never budge?
The answer, sources told me, is that it didn't.

I just threw together a website visualizing this ICE contract data! You can browse through the companies and their contracts, and filter them by state micahflee.github.io/ice-contracts/
