#Info-Tech
Donald trump refused to show his tax returns. Now Elon and his rando tech dweebs have our Social Security info, and folks are just going along with it?

This is fucking insanity.

Info on its energy gobbling should be in every news story about AI. It is newsworthy. It is inseparable from the tech itself.
It's all fun and games until …

"Professor Gina Neff of Queen Mary University London told the BBC #ChatGPT is "burning through energy", and the data centres used to power it consume more electricity in a year than 117 countries."

Not lost on me that it's nonprofit tech, app.watchduty.org, showing up & actually working in the midst of the LA fires (donate to them!)

Meanwhile platforms fail to surface key news, vital info is paywalled...

As I've been saying, we need a new tech paradigm, yesterday!

We got the video of the parachuter at Virginia Tech. They have rescued him at this point and he’s down off the scoreboard. Working to get more info.

as someone who grew up in 90s corporate tech, it's funny to watch people shift from tech optimism to tech pessimism precisely because social media has made public the kind of info that would usually stay locked up behind board room doors for a reason......
I would wager that tech pessimism in the US comes from exposure to the guys running these companies. Thats how it was for me, at least. I was an optimist at first! But then I read the beliefs of these tech moguls and... hoo boy. Generally repulsive people to a fault.
It’s really stunning how the USA has so swiftly shifted from being one of the most techno-optimistic and tech-industry-loving countries on earth, to a country where most people seem to assume - not incorrectly, at least in many cases - that tech is out to get them.

Potentially feeding all this info into untested tech seems like a pretty serious threat, @markwarner.bsky.social www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...
Listen – it’s not nuts to ask federal employees to report what they’re working on. My staff has to do weekly reports too.

But the WAY Musk is doing this? What’s he gonna do, read 2 million emails? This is just not serious stuff.

A. Massive corruption benefiting Musk.
B. Control of info to deploy more derogatory propaganda about Social Security.
C. More tech bro infiltration.

SCOOP: The Social Security Administration (SSA) will be shifting its public communication exclusively to X, sources tell WIRED. This comes as agency plans to cut its regional office workforce by roughly 90 percent.

so when you…

• force this tech on most everyone

• block it from acknowledging trans people even exist

• remove lgbtq people from human rights reporting & allow ICE to conceal info on trans people in custody

…it seems like a good time for cis folks to stop considering political “compromises.”

Solid info.

Also worth remembering that while facial recognition tech has up to 99% accuracy identifying white males, the tech is 10 to 100 times more likely to return false positives when used on people of color.

Seems “ google” wants a fight… I refuse to have my search or info inaccurate because another tech company sucks orange dic & sells out!
February 13, 2025 at 6:37 PM
Contrary to some info I've seen, 19-yr-old Doge staffer "BigBalls" Edward Coristine did not delete his X account, it's just renamed and is private.

Wired reported that govt tech workers had to defend their work to the Neuralink intern in an Office Space-esque scene.

Yeah. I’ll have a video up soon enough for the tech info but this game is a masterpiece. It feels like the true successor to Riddick that I’ve always wanted but at a larger scale.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is my favorite game of 2024 and I'm absolutely shocked by this.

The Forgotten City with Machine Games storytelling. Sometimes Dishonored, often Hitman. But really, a whole new blend of first person experience.
December 6, 2024 at 6:49 AM
Worth noting that even if we don't use it ourselves, this tech will presumably gobble up our info from emails/texts/documents we send OTHER people who have enabled it.

Repugnant.

It is really wild how big tech has actively turned on the web that made them rich. They all reject those who contribute and don't understand that their services are becoming less popular because people don't get any value from the info they find there
Elon admits that any post on X with a link is throttled

He advises you to upload content directly to X instead, where he can monetize it

Musk is the richest person in the world and his view is everyone should work for him for free

All the anti-Deepseek propaganda.

They're targeting your info. They're stealing your data.

Um...US tech is doing the same thing.

Congress is about to make a huge push into online ID verification, entrenching the power of big tech and mandating that they collect even MORE data on users. Mass surveillance/censorship laws are being framed as “child safety” but they’re really abt at removing LGBTQ ppl, repro justice info, etc.

Anyone else overwhelmed by information overload, making it difficult to make effective decisions? This can cause stress, & mental fatigue. Identify what info is most important, filter out the rest. Consider having low-tech days and limit notifications. #DeclutterYourMind
