India's former Chief Economic Adviser: basic income is not enough. We must give citizens a share of AI's profits.

A Universal Basic Share (UBS).

"Ordinary people need a share of the profits generated by the global economy." - Kaushik Basu

“Work” from the elite’s POV is less about people being productive and contributing to society than it is about making sure you’re too busy to oppose them.

A lot of people throwing around the phrase “hold the politicians accountable” and most of the time the method they suggest is calling and harassing their staff. You’re going need more effective leverage than that.

Si no te puedes permitir un día de huelga porque no llegarías a final de mes, efectivamente, quiere decir que la huelga es muy necesaria.

If you didn’t show up for a big meeting at work, and claimed traffic was the problem… You would be unemployed right now.

This is 100% a class war.

[The Meme-Industrial Complex @MemeIndustrial]

The Establishment has tried to make “terminally online” a political slur because they want to funnel your curiosity back to ‘news’ they fully control. No more point-by-point debunks of their ‘journalism.’ No more livestreaming of the holocausts they wage. Get offline. Trust them

YouTube might be the biggest casualty of generative AI. It’s LOADED with slop and promotes it over human creators. Used to be my favorite site, feels completely lifeless now

[Propaganda & co @propandco]

YouTube is full of ai slop

It’s unusable now

I used to enjoy what the algorithm put in front of me

Now it’s pure slop and garbage

Anyone else feel the same?

[Just.A.Thought 💭 @e_galv]

No one on the world stage is a threat to the establishment. There are no exceptions. These individuals are controlled beyond comprehension.

Failure to accept this truth is keeping millions of everyday people trapped inside the very system they believe they’re opposing.

He’s upgrading your RAM for free. RT to scare Sam Altman.

imagine AI fails so spectacularly that it kick starts a new renaissance era. We need artists and thinkers again. It’s been too long. Big tech has been steering us in the wrong direction for quite some time.

[Practical Effects @PFXMusic]

This is honestly going to be hilarious.

[Ewan Morrison @MrEwanMorrison]

Spotify is rolling out an AI tool in 2027 that lets users remix & alter any song

It threatens creative integrity & ownership
It will fill the platform with a tsunami of AI-generated slop
It will devalue the years of work behind original tracks

[Yeetos 🪀 @Yeetosis]

actually fucking insane that we have to coexist with people that genuinely listen to ai music

Former software engineer at Apple is whistleblowing

She says whenever Apple launches a new phone, they would push an update to older iPhones with malware to slow them down. This pushes people to upgrade

“I used to be a software engineer at Apple, and with every new phone that was released, malware was installed on the older phones to make you have to update, so your phone's not just glitching. It's doing that on purpose. Share before it's deleted”

She’s telling the truth, this was proven in court

The 2017 “Batterygate” scandal, where Apple was caught deliberately slowing down older iPhones through software updates

Apple was caught red handed doing this they even admitted it in court

Apple released iOS updates that intentionally throttled and reduced CPU performance. This caused phones to feel slower, glitchy and laggy

Apple’s stated reason: To prevent unexpected shutdowns caused by aging lithium-ion batteries

we are obsessed with the idea that poor people might take more than they need, but we almost never question why billionaires are never satisfied with what they already have.
