Molly vs The Machines - looking back this will divide parents into "did see, and protected my children" and "didn't see and fed my children to tech billionaires".

Which one are you?

Molly vs The Machines The film that ALL parents should see

Important new documentary/film: Molly vs The Machines

If you're a parent you need to see it - or you could be allowing your child to fall victim to #socialmedia harms. We explain why in this post:

"the gov should regulate the platforms NOT the public"

There's an amazing new film out: Molly vs The Machines.
Please, if you have children, go and see this film! It shows you that you really cannot trust #Meta ( #Facebook, #Instagram, #WhatsApp )

We've listed it in the TV & Films section of our resources page:

Picture via a CNN reporter of a banner with Trump’s face going up on outside of DOJ building

Biden would’ve been instantly impeached in a bipartisan vote if he put his face on the freakin’ Department of Justice building

Article from the FT reporting that a British AI startup is looking to raise $1bn

@edzitron.com you'll love this hype laundering and conflation in the FT today.

"Superhuman capabilities" becomes 'Superhuman intelligence' in the article title πŸ™„

Very good statement on the ways that extreme wealth/power concentration breeds depravity.

Tons of reporting on Musk’s science fictional business plans, not near enough about his white supremacist and fascist worldview. Good to see this from the Guardian!

@naomiaklein.bsky.social what you say about 33 mins into this - about a pathology that comes with extreme wealth - that resonates. I call it the #BillionaireMindVirus and wrote about it here:

it would be cool if this combines the traffic data from Magic Earth, with the hiking paths from CoMaps, and the city knowledge of City Mapper. Prob too much to ask for. Happy that Murena are working on this either way.
