Probably the most disturbing thing you regularly encounter in America is how many people have been socialized to worship the profit motive as some sort of God that holds higher value than things like children being able to play sports

[Greg @GregGrandin]

Whole argument of America, América.

This is the correct policy approach to housing btw. It’s completely unsustainable for housing to be a constantly appreciating asset when it is also a basic human need.

⚠️The Egyptian Relief Committee in Gaza had been organizing public screenings of World Cup matches for displaced families across the Strip. About an hour before today’s Egypt-Argentina match, Israel killed the committee’s public relations director in a strike on his vehicle. Two others, including a child, were also killed.

honestly, this religion and brazilian football stuff is probably the most interesting discourse to happen on twitter in a while

For Cosmonaut Magazine, I reviewed "Abundance" by Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson, "The Technological Republic" by Alex C. Karp and Nicholas W. Zamiska, and "If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies" by Eliezer Yudkowsky and Nate Soares

BOMBSHELL reporting finds Princeton climate researchers took tens of millions of dollars from BP to publish research, shaped and edited by BP, promoting carbon capture & storage and fossil fuels.

Landmark "Wedges" climate paper promoting CCS now confirmed to be BP propaganda.

There are honest scholars barely hanging on working brutal 4-4 teaching loads while people with the cushiest jobs imaginable are committing bald academic fraud, and the former will mostly stay precarious and the latter will keep their jobs.

Make no mistake: The US government will socialize the immense costs of subprime AI. They will force us all to eat the losses, while the perpetrators of the biggest fraud in history abscond to private islands. Be ready, because a deliberate rug-pull is the plan.

The Department of Economics at the New School for Social Research has just issued a statement on the New School's decision to layoff dozens of staff and faculty colleagues, including our own colleague and friend, Professor Sanjay Reddy.

🚗🔋 Many think Beijing masterfully planned China's EV takeover. Fengming Lu (@ANUBellSchool ) and I spent 3 years and 60+ interviews finding out what actually happened in our latest article @TheChinaJournal. A thread 🧵

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

this language is now indexed as a form of racial harassment. The mere mention of Palestinians and their ongoing mass killing, siege and starvation is treated as a form of bigotry. I don’t know what else to say other than this is completely dystopian and insane.

Holy shit this is amazing journalism.

Stop what you're doing and read this.

Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.

Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.

Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."

Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."

Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.

They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.

One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."

Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.

That's the metered intelligence business model.

And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.

BREAKING: The federal government is targeting Anti-AI and data center activists. They are formulating a new threat category: anti-tech violent extremism. Full article in replies.

Foppe de Haan argues that the current 'green' build-out is shaped by accumulation logic rather than energy-delivery logic and that a materialist analysis is needed to intervene in a field that is and remains one of the main sources of class conflict. https://t.co/g7BA7uO5dT

while we're talking about gas turbines, the EPA this week quietly made it a lot easier for hyperscalers to start building gas infrastructure while they are waiting for their air permit approvals, which puts a lot of pressure on state agencies to approve: https://t.co/NVYYo3axNC
