"It's morally bankrupt to do that, to know that these people are producing content that's in breach of your own regulations, yet you're actually not just allowing them, but you're encouraging them by paying them," she said. Meta is also one of the few social media giants that discloses any information about who it is paying. Other platforms, like YouTube, TikTok and Twitter, have very little transparency in this space. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-08-06/ragebait-how-facebook-is-paying-controversial-creators/106940696 #Meta #Fascism #Hate #TechBro

The debate is dominated by two side. On the Pro-AI side you have #techbro culture which is arguing that #AI has magic powers and that any cost should be paid for it. On the Anti-AI side you have people arguing simultaneously that the tech is worthless while also it's going to steal everyone's jobs. (Hint: It can't do both and neither statement is true.) Like gun control. the debate is largely devoid of facts, and generally adding research studies makes the debate more confusing. 3/

We have reached a point of 'operational impossibility' that requires us to accept the need for strategic retreat -- to understand and acknowledge a natural force beyond our control. Is this enough to get folks to understand climate breakdown as a result of anthropogenic emissions is a real thing & we need to stop with the #FossilFuels, #BigOil & #TechBro fuckwittery French firefighters face 'pyrocumulonimbus' for first time https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20260726-french-firefighters-face-pyrocumulonimbus-for-first-time

@nurglerider@mastodon.social @silverwizard @tinker@infosec.exchange What evidence is there that he thinks you won't have to pay programmers anymore. In fact, one of my quotes contradicts that. Also, no, data centers aren't going to destroy the climate _unless_ you believe the #AI #techbro hype that we're at the precipice of #ASI. We aren't. This is a bubble. There is zero chance that the AI datacenter growth happens to 2030 the way papers have projected. There aren't even enough transformers going to be made in the world to make that happen. What is going to happen is a massive economic collapse.

Remember, u can do your part to make electric and water cheaper for everyone by summoning a Kaiju* to destroy all of the data centers near u!

Bonus, u get a Kaiju friend!

(I was gonna say "burn down" but someone might have taken that literally and tbh its too early and I'm too vegetarian for bacon at my stupid door.)

    • Don't accidentally summon eldritch gods. Kthx.

#AI data centers stealing your job, stealing our water, taking our electricity, building more effing carbon burners and stealing our climate, stealing our data, stealing privacy, stealing our democracy. JFC NO. Time to end this nonsense. Seriously. No. Let's not do this. Let's STOP this, end this. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/06/130-billion-in-data-center-projects-blocked-by-protests-so-far-this-year/ #survielence #privacy #democracy #inflation #coup #techBro

Every #AI #techbro radically underestimates the computational complexity of a single human brain.

Most major #media and #socialMedia in the #USA is now right wing controlled The #techbro angle is well understood, but traditional media, that used to be more balanced, being capitalist entities that were dying, plutocrats merely purchased them and put their goons on the managing editor desks Watch this video of Peter #Magyar going on #Hungary's version of #FoxNews (their state media) and announcing he is shutting them down Now dream of that in the #US To get there, you fucking #vote, idiots

Headed out of #SFO today. Just on the other side of the #TSA checkpoint (where OF COURSE I got pulled aside for a patdown) there were some sleek-looking #dispensers promising "chilled #water." I spent about 2 minutes trying to get the touchless system to work. Followed "Place hand in front of sensor" about 15 different ways. No dice. Most of the people around me couldn't get the interface to work either, though every now and then a #techbro lucked out. Now I'm filling my water bottle from a bog-standard bottle filler next to the bathroom. High tech wastes time when it isn't intuitive or just plain doesn't work.
