Come on, the goal is total control of public policy and the suppression of democracy and the constitution so that a handful of people and their buddies receive the fruits of American resources and labor.

They don’t give a shit about what diddler Donnie did or does, as long as their goals are furthered.

The masses cheer for racism, bigotry, hatred, othering and “owning the libs.”

I’ll never forget what they did to bernie.

I truly wish we would get some younger representatives across the board and term limits… but I know it will never happen.

If she ends up winning the primary, he’s gonna get a third term. Then we’ll get obama again.

I actually sat through a pitch for downdetector. They have an enterprise product that shows historical data and trends. You have to pay per service monitored, it was wild.

Expect these to be put fully behind paywalls or some other privacy invading method to maximize value extraction. They use tools to gather outage info from all kinds of sources on social media, not their websites so they don’t rely on user reports as much as some might think.

They’re already paying all the manufacturers for the driver telemetry anyway, probably through third party brokers because everything must be obfuscated.

I think they like having multiple layers of confirmation that way if one is regulated away for some reason like ‘privacy’ or ‘technically anyone could be driving’ then they have fallbacks and legal deniability for the data being inherently flawed.

Whenever I point out the language of linux users being almost exclusively English I get a lot of comments about how that’s racist or something.

Linux is almost all english, a bit of german, a tiny bit of russian, and an extreme minority of other languages. When you filter by english/linux you see a ton more higher end hardware than global results that include countless not-wealthy nations with household incomes under 10k/year, which is most of the world.

The various news sites out there that want to spread their own version of influence and generate their own revenue take this kind of information and use it to see how you click on things, what drives your engagement, what you will go on to share with others, and how you talk about all of it. It’s all tied together.

Big money interests run basically everything in this world. We are just cattle, we will always be just cattle. I’m in countless databases like all of you, and we’re all fucked by the system we think we might some day to cheat our way above the other rats. The noose is tied tight though… there’s not much room left to struggle. It’s too late to escape it. Palantir and Flock are here to close the loop and they aren’t going anywhere, even if the street cameras are likely to be hidden in the future and more tamper proof rather than obvious to the public. Doesn’t matter if the laws change to ban it or you can convince local government to not get involved with it - it’s way too easy to hide cameras with modern technology. Just give it time and your credit score and auto insurance will incorporate flock data ;)

I swear people do not understand the point of what microsoft does.

There isn’t a team tasked with making teams worse. They’re tasked with extracting all possible value out of their product. Part of that value is infromation like where you are, what you’re doing, what you’re talking about, what you search for, what you actually do for your job, who is around you, what they talk about, where they are, what they are doing, what they search for, and what they do for their job and how everyone spends their money.

All of this is incredibly valuable data to governments, businesses and private individuals that want to advertise, suppress dissenting political voices, enhance useful dissenting political voices, and otherwise manipulate global influence.

They just don’t want you to think about declining any permissions, triggering regulatory action, or switching to another platform.

It’s because this administration wants to use AI/ML to create a list of domestic strike targets based on people who have said things dumpy doesn’t like.

We call them Karen

lol, so i’m a nazi because I think human nature is the problem? Phenomenal. Peak .ml right here.

This guy is a moron

So pretend like there’s no problem, just be corrupt.

Hot take. Exactly why the world is where it is today. Human nature baybee

I would just be corrupt like the next guy. FYIGM is quite appealing vs fighting your whole life against a handful of people with vast resources in excess of everyone you have ever met in your entire life, including the billionaire ceos that you might have bumped into that one time.

Yeah, OK. Show me the anarchist paradise of yours on this planet today. Just one with more than a million souls.

The reality is that a minority of individuals will resort to problematic actions to gain control and keep control, and that’s why there are so many dictatorships across the world in 2026.

Once you get beyond monkeysphere scale, things like anarchism fall apart quite quickly.

Yeah… i’ve seen how that works. Workers are incredibly corrupt, like most people.

We need something that delivers transparency with intelligence and a huge amount of social empathy as it’s core. Can’t work in this world. Globalism is here but fragmented feifdoms of horror remain all over, even in the wealthiest and best educated areas. To prop up one nation on the grounds of social empathy at the cost of others invites the same kind of problem we’re in today, and there’s simply not enough to go around with 8 billion people.

I don’t have a solution to fix the world’s problems, if I did I would use it. Instead all I can do is push for some kind of regulatory action. Again, consequences for shareholders. There should be the biggest penalty for unethical, immoral and illegal actions taken against humanity by the people who have a stake in the business. Leadership comes from the top, and if they are unable to avoid horrors, perhaps they shouldn’t have the assets that allow them to lead.

That’s not really parental supervision though. Knowing what kind of content that exists and that a child can interact with should be one of the most important considerations when allowing kids to access something. Not just the amount of time in a period they are allowed to do so.

I can’t imagine how “parental supervision” could exist without understanding how to use what they are supervising.

Do we really need to bomb Iran again?

Can’t we just… not?

As much as I think nintendo and the pokemon company are evil shits, I do believe overall pokemon go was net positive for humanity.

The physical health benefit from all those people walking around, and the mental health benefits from said populations being more social and friendly with others won’t ever show a statistic for lives saved, but I think it’s reasonable to assume lives will be saved from extra exercise and positive social interactions.

Can’t interfere with that revenue growth

Shareholders need to be held accountable for the unethical, immoral and illegal activities of their owned businesses. Until there is a financial incentive for business to be run ethically, morally and legally for the shareholders, nothing will ever change. It is perhaps the biggest problem with capitalism today.
