It feels like society is about six months away from someone creating a deck of collectible cards featuring deranged tech CEOs, and we collectively start hunting them down with pitchforks like they're sick Pokémon that somehow escaped Dante's Inferno. #society #bigtech #oligarchy #politics #healthcare #techbros #gambling #insane https://futurism.com/health-medicine/kalshi-defends-bet-drug-trials

The singularity: when the people who spent years telling you not to anthropomorphise AI start talking about it like it's Jesus. At this point, I don't even have a joke about the AI singularity. I'm just tired of watching billionaires discover science fiction in real time. #society #technology #ai #oligarchy #fraud #scifi

Every time one maritime choke point calms down, another one starts auditioning for the role. At this rate the global economy is basically running on duct tape, spreadsheets and the hope that nobody parks a 400-metre container ship sideways again. #geopolitics #politics #security #maritime Yemen's Houthis announce 'maritime embargo' against Saudi Arabia - BBC News https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cm2gmddx1ldo

Data point: of 30 IMO verified Jones Act waiver vessels we checked against Tokyo/Paris MoU detention records, the one with 38 deficiencies, unpaid wages, and an ISM failure got zero press. The China-flagged tanker with a clean record got a dockside protest and wire coverage. I wonder why. #geopolitics #politics #maritime #osint #uspolitics https://gcaptain.com/american-mariners-protest-chinese-tanker-as-jones-act-waiver-faces-growing-scrutiny/

A corporation scans your face, adds you to a criminal database, shares it with dozens of retailers, and when it's wrong, you get £25 voucher and silence from the ICO.

We gave algorithms the power to punish. We gave victims a QR code.

High Court rules Met Police scanning millions of faces on London's streets is perfectly legal and not at all the beginning of something we'll deeply regret.

Watching ministers talk about NHS data strategy is like watching someone confidently rewire a house with no understanding of electricity. The language sounds polished, the reassurances are endless, but the substance just isn’t there. Choosing a company like Palantir isn’t a neutral technical decision. It’s a long-term structural commitment with real implications for control, access, and public trust. Yet it’s presented as a simple procurement exercise. And when political careers move on, as they always do, there’s rarely any reckoning for decisions that reshape public infrastructure for decades. That asymmetry should concern everyone. #technology #surveillance #nhs #politics #ice #ethics #society #data Palantir: NHS pilot’s “success” is questioned as second figure at major trust is linked to the tech giant | The BMJ https://www.bmj.com/content/393/bmj.s680

I am sure that BlackRock being major shareholder is pure coincidence. Their donation to Agent Orange's ballroom is also act of selfless generosity.

Genuinely curious how the same people applauding the EU's new government-ID-linked internet verification app would describe Iran's white SIM card system if a journalist asked them about it.

A simple explanation for the Great Silence.

Every advanced alien species eventually invents internet, loses focus, and abandons its interstellar program.

Not extinct, just stuck arguing in comment sections across the cosmos.

Nothing more reassuring than knowing billion-dollar AI models are powered by toLowerCase() and a really motivated regex.

The singularity isn’t near, it’s just \b(fuck|awful|useless)\b away apparently.
