What’s happening in Tennessee is the epitome of systemic racism and the fall of democracy in America.

“The map aims to give the GOP a clean sweep of the state’s nine congressional districts by fracturing Black-majority Memphis between three districts.”

I saw a meme post on Facebook suggesting that no one earns a billion dollars except by wage theft, that no one works a billion times harder than other hardworking people who make ordinary wages. That seems a fair claim. I wrote this next paragraph in response, kind of as a spur of the moment thought, but it's something I want to spend more time thinking about:

I used to think that one solution to this was the practice of asking CEOs to not make more than some fixed multiple of their lowest-paid employee. But now I see the goal is to not employ anyone either. A lot of the benefits for corporations are justified on the idea that they employ people, so helping them helps people. Now that this assumption is on a path to being increasingly violated, we need to reconsider our special treatment of corporations as well.

I think Hegseth quoting fake bible passages from Pulp Fiction, presumably because he doesn't know they're made up, perfectly illustrates the role of religion in right wing extremist politics. It's a tool to control the masses. Nothing more.

In that respect, I am in 100% agreement with the pope.

I'm an atheist, but I grew up in a Christian community. US and Israeli violence is not in line with the core message. (Although there are people in my old community who supports them.)

#Trump wants the #USA to become a little bit more like #China, or WWII Germany, while helping car manufacturers with weapons contracts - a stable, government-guaranteed revenue. Bailout as National Security, in other words.

Apropos of #WWII #Germany: while the USA isn’t yet using forced labor, its failing car companies aren’t state-owned, and the legal mechanisms being discussed appear softer than a full-on wartime command economy, one glance at the #ICE detention system suggests the infrastructure for the next step isn’t hard to imagine.

Are pensioners funding the militarisation of AI?

At least 182 private and public pension funds have invested in companies developing high-risk AI systems, potentially leading pensioners to unknowingly fund technologies used for civilian targeting or surveillance. Generative AI, including foundation models, is already being deployed in conflict zones for intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and cyber warfare.

——————
Q: Why is deploying generative AI in conflict-affected areas high risk?

Generative AI creates less predictable outputs than other types of AI, making its susceptibility to bias, hallucinations, and misalignment particularly dangerous in high-stakes military uses such as targeting decisions. Generative AI mirrors patterns in its training data, which may underrepresent certain regions, populations or unique conflict scenarios. When information is missing, it invents plausible-sounding details. There is little public, peer reviewed evidence (as opposed to ad-hoc operational examples) that AI-powered weapons are more accurate or capable of managing complex, volatile conflicts. Regarding AI-powered drones deployed in Ukraine, industry experts note that the software frequently still requires refinement and that its effectiveness varies with battlefield conditions. Most military AI tools also lack publicly disclosed safeguards that demonstrate alignment with human rights or humanitarian law.
