If you think current social media is bad, wait until the metaverse and mixed reality are widely adopted in exchange for endless entertainment and free shit 💩, disinformation and misinformation is nothing in comparison to what’s coming. Your attention is your world, your reality.

Orbán, Vusic, Bolsonaro all got Trumps kiss of death. Trumpism seems to kill Putinism as an export product.

Ukraine losing access to Starshield raises serious concerns for our national security—like who controls critical capabilities the U.S. government has spent billions to procure & how decisions to restrict them are made. I'm demanding answers from the Department of Defense & SpaceX

🤣

Musk owns X. Ellison owns CBS & CNN. TikTok blocked Musk movie account. Meta blocked No Kings account. Democracy Docket is not built on Substack, ActBlue or any platform that could turn against it. It costs more to operate but is worth it. Subscribe now. demdock.com/4w6emld

no kings includes billionaires who think they’re kings

Here we go… MAGA cashing in

Here we go

It took a couple of weeks of painting but my Ministry set is complete. Altman, Musk, Thiel and Zuckerberg, our new overlords. I've made a print run of these over here: wefail.art/products/min...

Imagine if the nuclear arms race had taken place between publicly traded companies driven by the pursuit of profits for their shareholders.

Yes please

🇷🇺 Oorlogsmisdaden:

Death as a spectacle is the purest form of fascism.

This is what Christo-fascism looked like — specifically the Romanian fascism of the 1930s. Hegseth is a Christo-fascist. (1/3)

AI could very well be more destructive to the open internet than the most potent EMP on the planet.

AI en robotica lijkt toch wel het slotakkoord van ongereguleerd zero sum hyperkapitalisme.

In Dutch: in·fo·fla·tie (de; v) Buitensporige toename en versnippering van informatie, waardoor samenhang, relevantie en betekenis moeilijker te onderscheiden zijn en een gevoel van desoriëntatie of informatievertigo ontstaat

New entry: infoflation, n. /ˌɪnfəʊˈfleɪʃ(ə)n/ The excessive proliferation and fragmentation of information, producing a sense of disorientation or informational vertigo in which context, relevance, and meaning become increasingly difficult to discern.

‘Social’ media zijn de centrifuges die samenlevingen fragmenteren en versplinteren tot een crisis een nieuwe balans zal zoeken. Zijn we nog lang niet.

Meta and Tik Tok refusing to allow the trailer for Musk to run as a paid ad on their site—just like any other movie trailer—means users should fight tech oligarch solidarity and share it widely youtu.be/FFTf1lzcs28?...

Opinie: Het is tijd om de risico’s van AI serieus te gaan nemen

HUGE EXCLUSIVE from @bloomberg.com Inside the US ‘Kill Chain’ That Destroyed an Iranian School Pentagon investigators discovered that flawed intel, outdated imagery & overreliance on AI contributed to a missile strike that killed 123 children in Minab 🎁 www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

The authoritarians are winning, we can all see that. Maybe, just maybe, it wouldn't be the worst thing if pro-democracy people stopped being ridiculously naive about social media. berjon.com/media-media/

De mens is de dominante intelligente soort, een bloemlezing: we slachten 10 miljoen landdieren per uur, we hebben dierentuinen, een industrieel vervaardigd vernietigingspotentieel dat meerdere keren de aarde kan vernietigen en we hebben met internet de perfecte AGI infrastructuur aangelegd 🧠🦠💥

With 1.5 trillion invested, I think not. Brace.

Don't look now, but the world has now installed 3TW of solar. Took 10 years to get from 100GW to 1TW. Less than 3 years to get to 2TW. Less than 2 years to get to 3TW. Analysts expect *9TW* by 2036.

"By the end of 2030," reports NYT, the amount of energy used by data centers"is expected to quadruple, eclipsing the power used by all countries in South America and Africa combined." This is extinctionism.

My first contribution to The Netherland's Great Media Debate, where I argue we must recognise the problem of disinformation as one that's of demand, and not so much one of supply www.volkskrant.nl/columns-opin...

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “Social media casts its spell primarily by capturing attention,” Maia Szalavitz writes. But A.I. plays on our heartstrings — and that may be even more dangerous — she said.

Tech bro’s be like: ‘Virtual companion for minors?’ 🤔💰🚀

When I start to worry about Trump stealing the midterms, I just remind myself that he’s losing a fight with the Reflecting Pool at the moment.

Arnhemse proef krijgt vervolg, schulden kwetsbare gezinnen afgelost: 'Geen druk meer' - "Benrida voegt eraan toe dat de belangrijke opbrengsten niet in geld zijn uit te drukken, zoals minder stress, meer waardigheid en een stabielere gezinssituatie." nos.nl/l/2623069

Ondanks de verwoede pogingen van de rijken, met voortdurende misinformatie en trollenlegers, snapt de meerderheid heel goed dat een hogere erfbelasting goed is voor 95% vd bevolking. nos.nl/artikel/2621...

Killing an ‘un-American’ sport, too European for the kings’ taste, cementing the US as a rogue power with a truly dark vision. Cancelling the tournament would be the best thing to stop this madness.

It’s probably better for everyone that I refrain from commenting on soccer. But it seems to me that if there is not a common red line drawn against this, it’s really game over in terms of fair play, trust, enjoyment etc. yes Trump and FIFA are corrupt but come on Team USA don’t spoil it for everyone

UK Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy quits TwitterX. This should be the first of many.

New in PN: E. Jean Carroll Beat Trump. Again. "As Republican politicians cower in fear, one incredibly brave woman stood up to the man who assaulted her. She did this with full knowledge that he would use every bit of firepower he could muster to destroy her. *And she won.*"

Yes, pounded into submission by Conald Trump. Silence is consent.

🤣

The frame Europe is “starting“ a trade war with China is strange. China has been waging trade and industrial policy battle against Europe, sector after sector. EU diplos asked for change nicely for years. Now the EU wants to do something about it and it’s the aggressor? Aha.

Gotta admit, I’m glad they’re stripping Trump’s name from the Kennedy Center while he’s still alive and coherent enough to feel the burn.

MSNOW is providing a livestream of the removal of Donald Trump's name from the Kennedy Centre www.youtube.com/live/aAhm880...
