Maybe this will get normies to stop falling for the idea that Yudkowsky is some kinda "good guy".

So tired of trolls who respond to any effort to raise awareness to something, with "well it's always like that of course and there's nothing you can do about it unless you completely burn the country down so do nothing".

Stop fantasizing about a time that you can "set it and forget it" with politics. That's how we got here.

I've had it with the LIES coming from places like the PA Chamber of Commerce that keep claiming that hyperscale data centers are needed for normal internet use when the data center developers and tech CEOs themselves admit that they are NOT.

I think it's cute how the person from Future of Life Institute starts from the premise that AI isn't just being used to oopsie mistake kill civilians and blame the computer.

It’s funny how Apple can adhere to the labor laws in Europe which are extremely strict and make a profit but somehow in the US labor restrictions are crippling.

Apple is closing down the first of its US stores to unionize.

Apple says that because of the collective bargaining agreement with these workers, they "couldn’t offer to transfer them to nearby locations.”

The union is outraged, and exploring options to hold Apple accountable.

@raskin.house.gov frankly sir this is condescending & offensive. The ppl calling for impeachment do NOT deny this political reality. I know bc I am one of them. I am your constituent & have been calling for months try to discuss the strategic importance of repeated *unsuccessful* impeachment votes.

Don't fall for social media ops where an acct says stuff that sounds custom made to outrage the other side of an issue. The technique is a form of strawmanning and I've seen it for years. Are there weirdos who believe kooky things? Yes but they usually don't have a stream of uniform sized posts.

Using your debt, your search history, and your private data to decide how much you’re worth? Hell no.
This is what happens when technology is built to serve profit instead of people.
This is why every worker needs a union.

Zohran Mamdani and the NYC Department of Consumer and Worker Protection have announced a "Click to Cancel" rule.

The rule would make NYC the first city in the nation to ban subscription traps and force companies to make it just as easy to cancel subscriptions as it is to enroll.

I wonder what conflicts of interest Greg Beard has with this one.

I suspect this PR campaign requires some fact checking.

“The Wildcat Ridge AI Data Center Campus is a major economic investment creating an estimated 1,280 permanent jobs and delivering a net of more than $45 million in local tax revenue each year,”

One of the most brazenly corrupt events in history will take place tomorrow when Jared Kushner represents the U.S. in critical negotiations with Iran to end the war while he accepts millions in fees (and billions in investments) from the Saudi gov’t which has been lobbying Trump to continue the war

Write your reps. Anyone claiming to be concerned about food safety is a liar if they don't think this is a problem.

First the city council in this Missouri city approved a $6 billion data center, despite massive pushback.

Then, during yesterday’s election in Festus, MO, residents overwhelmingly voted to kick out the incumbents who voted for the project.

America is fed up with data centers.

A few postcards my office has received in the last few weeks.

Even during our darkest moments, Minnesotans choose love as their guiding light. 💙

When someone using a name handle with "snark" in it posts hand wringing and criticizing others about how awful it is to joke about serious issues.

“ICE warehouse craze” … come on, they’re actually creating a hype cycle around a financial bubble of speculation around ICE prisons?
