It should be much bigger news that a Nashville hospital has paralyzed at least one patient and sickened 3 more by injecting them with potassium instead of pain medication.

It’s an error so egregious it’s hard to imagine how it could even occur.

‼️ BREAKING: Journalists hid an Airtag in a rare book shipment and confirmed Amazon to be one of the buyers behind the bulk orders destroying rare-books to feed their AI.

They tracked it to Amazon's LAS8 warehouse in Las Vegas, home to VGT3 (see logo below), a scanning operation feeding Amazon's AI training data, where workers say they cut the bindings off books to scan them faster.

Amazon won't say why the books are destroyed.

Talked to a guy today making $35 an hour with two degrees.

That’s about $5,600 a month before anything comes out.

After taxes, insurance, and his 401k contribution he takes home around $4,050.

Rent alone is $1,900.

Leaves him roughly $2,150 for groceries, gas, insurance, loans, and whatever life throws at him that month.

$35 an hour sounds like a win on paper.

In practice it’s just enough to almost be okay.

I'm not sure the United States is capable of systemic change and a transformation of its society. it's too selfish and materialistic and wrapped up in greed.

Y’all must really think it’s a coincidence that they’re pushing data centers, Meta glasses, and Flock cameras all at the same time? I know literacy rates are crashing, but come on.

Honestly, nobody wants a city on Mars. Nobody wants AI in every app. Nobody wants a robot butler. Nobody wants data centers everywhere. Nobody wants flying cars or humanoid robots. We want clean water, we want bees to survive, and we want a habitable planet.

It is wild and sad to me that not too long ago, someone with a regular old job could buy a car or even a house. Like an entire house with just their job money.

CEO: we’re a family here.

Employee: my son graduates Friday. I put in the request 4 weeks ago.

CEO: we have a client presentation Friday.

Employee: I’ve been planning this for months.

CEO: the team is counting on you.

Employee: my son has been counting on me longer.

CEO: I’m going to need you to reconsider your priorities.

Employee: I just did.

He went to the graduation.

Written up Monday morning.

Resigned by noon.

That Friday the CEO posted on LinkedIn about the importance of work life balance and putting family first.

54,000 likes.

67 comments calling him inspiring.

His former employee was in the front row watching his son walk across a stage.

Didn’t see the post until Sunday.

Said it was the best weekend of his life anyway.

Ms Rachel said, “Black boys deserve to live” and people are acting like she said something controversial.

CHILDREN LIVING SHOULD BE THE DEFAULT STANDARD. That should never be a divisive statement.

I still CANNOT believe that AI data centers are getting fresh water, but our crops are getting recycled water contaminated with human waste? is this really where we’re at ??

My boomer mom’s house appreciated $540,000 in 20 years.

She didn’t have a side hustle. Didn’t read finance books. Didn’t optimize anything.

She bought a house in 2001 and went to work every day.

Last month she texted me a YouTube video about budgeting better.

I already budget.

Already cut subscriptions.
Already pack lunch.
Already shop generic.

Her net worth went up $54,000 last year while she watched TV.

Mine went up nothing while I optimized every dollar I have.

She means well.

That’s the part that makes it sting more.

Shout out to Reuters and ABC for pushing this story, but this should be fucking everywhere.

The most openly corrupt individual this country has ever seen. No one else comes close.

If we can't arrest a sitting President for laundering money, illegal war crimes, market manipulation, being named a pedophile in the Epstein Files, kidnapping a world leader and his wife, and having to pay $88.3M for sexually assaulting a woman....WHAT THE FUCK ARE LAWS FOR???

Someone tried to give me financial advice that started with “cut out avocado toast.” I don’t even eat avocado toast. The real expenses are rent, transport, and the quiet theft of inflation. Stop reducing everything to individual moral failure.

[FAMEOLOUS @FAMEOLOUSCELEBS]

All this white crime happening and not a peep from @elonmusk . Had that shooter been black, he would’ve retweeted it. White kills his whole family and kills all his kids and not a word from anyone. White people are killing innocent people every day and not a word from this bigot.

So if I purchase a DVD and digitize it, that’s copyright infringement. But if an AI company buys my book and scans it to train their system, that’s perfectly fine? Once again, corporations are allowed to play by their own rules. I’m so sick of the hypocrisy.
