This is an absolute abomination.

The comment process is a little kludgy, but the link below is a great guide. It took me under a half hour to respond to both (hideous) proposals.

And if the DO find someone who can stand him, they understand that that too is a political statement, right?

Well, WE'LL comment. This is absolute garbage, and it's astonishing how MANY ways this administration is finding to corrode both the present and the future of this nation.

There people on the left and right who will tell you this is only an issue for elites. Those people are insane. The obscenely unequal power of the rich is what caused this emergency. Iโ€™ll never cede โ€œpreventing mass deathโ€ as a cause of the mass left.

Across the US, people are dismantling and destroying Flock surveillance cameras Anger over ICE connections and privacy violations is fueling the sabotage. PLUS: 10,000 drivers call on Uber to repay stolen wages, a man is arrested at a public hearing about a data center and more.

Across the US, people fed up with Flock cameras surveilling their communities, and with local governments that are often unwilling to listen to concerns over privacy violations and ICE data sharing practices, are taking matters into their own handsโ€”and tearing them down.

Tesla made suppliers tool up for 120k units/year of this turd, it sold a third of that in year one, and then sales fell by 50% in year two.

Biggest flop in modern automotive history, and it isn't close.

If "AI" was being built, used, and planned for in responsible ways--the way a civilization designed to enhance human thriving would do--then a lot more people would be enthusiastic about its potential. But the people in charge of defining what AI will be are the fucking worst short-term scumbags.

No one old enough to remember the childlike wonder at the dawn of the internet era thinks that lefties are inherently anti-techโ€”if anything, there was too much credulous belief that it would bring good things.

This path was a choice, made in countless small waves that eventually became a tsunami.

for a minute there a certain popular and universally positive view of "technology" really was a kind of secular religion that held the vestiges of an "American mainstream" together, but the titans on top sold off the goose that lays golden eggs and now they want to believe AI adoption is the problem

This "why does the left hate AI?" thing is like when the right believes protests are paid for by George Soros; they need a SECRET CONSPIRATORIAL AGENT because they refuse to believe that, actually, a lot of people are independently looking at what AI is being made to be and saying "ok that sucks?"

OKAY BIG ONE FOR YA

NEW report out today: I dig deep into how big tech has been muddling tech types and overstating evidence to claim "AI" will make global emissions drop like a stone....

Not only will it not, it seems to be verifiably doing the opposite!!

Amazon has lost $450 billion in value during this historic losing streak. Here's what's dragging it down Amazon expects to spend $200 billion this year on AI initiatives, the company said when it reported earnings.

"Amazon shares have lost roughly 18% of their value since Feb. 2, axing about $450 billion in market valuation as investors question the merits of its AI spending plans."

Even Elon wasn't able to tank his stock that fast. Nice going, folks. Keep racing towards the cliff!
