New Yorker did this interview with UFC president Dana White. The title: The U.F.C. President Dana White, on Donald Trump, "He is not a Racist"

What is New Yorker thinking? 🤮

Why do they feel the need to give these people a platform?

Even The New Yorker is willing to legitimize the rhetoric of #racist or #fascist ideology.

Die Situation der Menschen die unsere Kleidung herstellen hat sich übrigens nur mäßig verbessert. Deswegen organisieren wir uns international auf Augenhöhe, bspw. mit unserer Internationalen, der ICL, oder mit dem Global May Day Bündnis zusammen mit Textilarbeiter:innen aus Bangladesch, Sri Lanka, Myanmar und Kambodscha. Werdet Teil der modernen internationalen Arbeiter:innenbewegung - damit das Elend endet!

Sam Altman May Control Our Future—Can He Be Trusted?
New interviews and closely guarded documents shed light on the persistent doubts about the head of OpenAI.

...The technology should not be dominated by a profit-seeking mega-corporation. “Been thinking a lot about whether it’s possible to stop humanity from developing AI,” he wrote to Musk. “If it’s going to happen anyway, it seems like it would be good for someone other than Google to do it first.” —“safety should be a first-class requirement”; “obviously we’d comply with/aggressively support all regulation”—and he and Musk settled on a name: OpenAI.

Musk provided some office space for OpenAI in a former suitcase factory in the Mission District of San Francisco. The pitch to employees, Sutskever told us, was “You’re going to save the world.”
