Welcome to the Trump Ellison #NerdReich broligarch Putinesque media suppression gaslighting propaganda. CBS, and soon to be CNN. Could be a lot of good TV journalists working the midterms elsewhere.

A Reddit post about the frustration of a developer who contributed #emacsclient support to #Gemini CLI, only for #Google to transition the tool to an enterprise-only, closed-source model shortly after.

[…] My takeaway is that in the future I will think very carefully before contributing again to non-FOSS projects.

Yes. Also, the small problem of Google and AI use in genocide and war crimes, but not a priority I guess.

Don't toggle. Migrate.

Gen AI isnt something you can toggle off. #Copilot gets pushed through #Windows 11 updates. #Gemini is baked into #Android and every other product. Every EULA and product default shoves it deeper. Real resistance means migrating entirely. #Linux instead of Windows. #GrapheneOS instead of stock Android. #LibreWolf instead of Chrome.

Pope Leo's first encyclical warns AI (#LLM) is driven by a "culture of power" concentrated in the hands of a few tech giants, calls for rigorous ethical constraints on AI in warfare, and apologizes for the church's historic failure to condemn slavery while warning of "new forms of slavery" in the digital economy.

Palantir's CEO admits his company's tech "is used to kill." Yet major newsrooms - Axel Springer (Politico, BI, The Telegraph), Ringier, Fox News - are embedding Palantir's Foundry and AI tools into their daily operations.

After Axel Springer bought The Telegraph, the paper ran two op-eds defending Palantir. The same week it published a piece headlined "How Palantir became the left's favourite conspiracy target."

Ringier hired a dedicated Palantir engineer. Fox News built three AI newsroom tools with Palantir engineers embedded in the newsroom. Neither outlet will say whether their data trains the same AI used for targeting in Gaza.

Not that it should surprise anyone the Trump administration is by and for corporations, but hilarious nonetheless … even a tiny bit of self-regulation is too much for the #nerdreich.

#Trump yanked AI (#LLM) order after David Sacks raised “industry concerns” reports on how a former AI czar successfully lobbied the president to postpone a significant executive order on artificial intelligence due to industry pushback. Sacks argued that the proposed oversight system would stifle innovation and hinder the United States' competitive advantage against China in the AI race…

Yeah. Good luck with that. While US companies focus on monetizing expensive frontier models, #China is winning on efficiency, cost reduction, and widespread adoption i.e. #DeepSeek’s LLM uses 10-40× less energy than US AI technology.
