WATCH THIS! Engineers storm the stage in protest against Amazon's use of AI in the ongoing 🇵🇸 genocide

"When Amazon employees say something against project Nimbus you fire them!"

Watch how his face drops! He's there to promote AI yet goes into screensaver mode when confronted

Congress is not serious.

We are voting on a stock trading ban for members of Congress…

BUT Republicans added voter-ID in the legislation.

Not to get Dems to vote for voter-ID,

but to get them to vote against the stock trading ban, so they can use it in the Nov. election.

@AverageDems @CannedResponse @CSano85 @hasanthehun You’re part of the problem. The DNC knows you’ll vote for whoever they wheel out in front of you so they keep spoon feeding you corporate/foreign owned candidates. Both parties need to cut that shit out. And minimizing a genocide by calling it “one single issue” is insane.

If you thought Flock was bad check out Falconet.

Falconet from Israeli company Cognyte serves as a cell tower simulator that intercepts cell phone data from all devices within range. Police mount these systems in Tahoes so the vehicles can collect information while driving through areas without any direct interaction with targets.

This mobile approach generates ongoing records of phone locations and communications for everyone nearby rather than only suspects, which creates comprehensive movement profiles and bypasses traditional warrant requirements under the Fourth Amendment.

Cognyte sells the technology directly to U.S. agencies, as shown by the Texas Department of Public Safety purchase of four Tahoes where over three point eight million dollars went to the interception equipment. Adoption spreads through routine vehicle procurement with little external review of how the collected data is stored or shared.

Once active the systems permit warrantless collection of private cell phone data across entire communities during normal patrols, which enables potential misuse and leaves individuals with no effective way to discover or contest the surveillance.

I’ve been keeping a list of all the news stories dominating my algorithm and the general news cycle in 2026. It is wild to see how quickly we move on and sometimes even forget some of these things.

The World Health Organization has announced that we will start running out of clean water (drinking, showering, laundry, dishes) in the next FEW YEARS. We are officially entering water bankruptcy. This is a direct result of AI. Please stop using it now.

Recordatorio de que el agua no es necesaria para enfriar los centros de datos, si la usan es simplemente porque es el método más barato aunque tenga enormes consecuencias ambientales.

If your parents made 40k in the 1990s, you’d need to make 170k to have the same lifestyle in 2026

So 170k is the new 40k
This should absolutely shock you

If your Instagram is public, Meta just enrolled you in something you didn't agree to.

Their new AI tool, Muse Image, lets anyone @-mention your Instagram handle in Meta AI and generate images using your face and photos. launched Tuesday. opt-in by default. no notification when it happens.

→ you won't be told when someone creates an AI image of you

→ opting out only stops future generation; anything already made stays live

→ there's no mechanism to remove images created before you opted out

how to turn it off:
Instagram → Profile → Menu (☰) → Sharing and Reuse → turn off Posts and Reels under "Allow people to reuse your content on Instagram and with AI features at Meta"

note: the setting is still rolling out. if you don't see it yet, keep checking.

if you want the strongest protection right now: go private.

Walmart recorded your voiceprint when you called customer service.

Did not tell you.

Did not ask you.

Built a voice profile.

Stored it in a database.

Then a second Walmart sued them for recording warehouse workers’ voiceprints through headsets.

Then a third lawsuit for facial recognition in stores.

Three biometric systems.

One company.

All being sued at the same time.

McDonald’s. Applebee’s. Chipotle. Domino’s. Wingstop.

All recorded voiceprints during pizza orders.

Verizon enrolled customers in voice ID without asking.

Your voiceprint cannot be changed.

Your face cannot be changed.

If Walmart’s database gets breached your voice is compromised forever.

Every future authentication system you use is now at risk.

The voiceprint is not a password.

It is a biometric identifier.

And it is sitting in a Walmart database.

This is only illegal in Illinois.

BIPA is the only US law that lets you sue.

In 47 states companies can collect your fingerprints face and voice.

With zero legal consequence.

The customer service call you made five years ago.

Was a biometric harvesting operation.

You just found out.
