BBC platforms corrupt racist friend of Trump and Putin again and again and again.

Whose water? Our water?

Water companies want to push up bills even further. AND Thames Water wants an excruciatingly expensive £2.4 billion bailout. No more water company failures at our expense. Let them go bust! 1/2

Realistically it will only take one or two big countries banning these platforms for them to stop doing it. Personally I'd like to see Brazil post some evidence of Metas interference. The evidence of algorithms designed to hurt kids should already have seen most of the world reject it.

The evidence of Metas negligence in Myanmar leading to the genocide of the Rohingya should've been enough, but these companies can get away with murder it seems.

It takes a lot of humans to conduct time-and-motion studies of human working processes to train machines to replace some of the human processes with machines & it still takes many more humans to feed the machines and maintain them, not to mention the humans needed to design and build the machines.

as I explained to my students, you are the raw data for which the data centers are being built. all that computing power is not meant to serve you, but to serve you up on a platter.

A tool built on the stolen labor of others will not liberate you as a worker. A tool built on the stolen ideas of others will not liberate you as a thinker. You are not using AI; AI is using you. Stop it.

Precarious citizenship determined by white supremacists = ?

None of us should forget this. Meta should be subjected to corporate death penalty and permanently broken up into small pieces.

While Ireland is at risk from the impending bursting of the AI bubble, it has not benefitted much from AI's growth. The investment happening here is producing little that can be taxed, and few jobs. It's virtually all cost and no benefit to us as a country. www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2026...

Why EU free movement is an opportunity, not a threat – as Burnham makes the case, read @johnspringford.bsky.social for Arguably. “It is strange to reject one of the few policies that we know would raise growth and improve our fiscal position.” www.arguably.uk/p/eu-free-mo...
