    Shame on Rep. Clay Higgins & shame on anyone who thinks this is acceptable. This man didn’t just cast the lone “no” vote on exposing a global sex-trafficking network… he also grabbed a citizen for daring to ask a question he didn’t like. I hope this young man presses charges.

    Some of you point out that the big players have used various tricks to keep their own $ safe. True.

    That's why we need to think about how to prosecute them for fraud.

    Those bubble-inflating claims - AI will cure all disease! end climate change! double lifespans! - are essentially Theranos X 1000.

    The AI bubble may be about to bust.

    Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock.

    We all need to say this very clearly:

    NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH!

    Expropriate their asses instead.

    They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet.

    They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

    “While the AI industry claims its models can “think,” “reason,” and “learn,” their supposed achievements rest on marketing hype and stolen intellectual labor. In reality, AI erodes academic freedom, weakens critical reading, and subordinates the pursuit of knowledge to corporate interests.”

    Olivia Guest & Iris van Rooij urge teachers and scholars to reject tools that commodify learning, deskill students, and promote illiteracy.
