"The researcher Google fired for warning about exactly what is now happening was right.

The company that fired her is now the second-largest deployer of the technology she warned about.

And the people inside that company who agree with her are not allowed to say so."

I was recently made aware of this thesis/argument from Cory Doctorow entitled, "The Reverse Centaur Guide to Criticizing AI (before it's too late)"..:

Many things can be and need to be said about the Reverse Centaur argument, but let me at least do the quick-and-dirty clarification that the anti-Reverse Centaur movement is not equal to the Butlerian Jihad.

How to interpret all of that is left as an exercise for you, Dear Reader.

Peter Thiel non è un guru innocuo: è il fondatore di Palantir, colosso dei dati e della sorveglianza, ed è una delle figure di riferimento dell’ultradestra tech legata al mondo MAGA negli USA.
Ora arriva a Roma con incontri chiusi su AI, politica e “Anticristo”.
Tradotto: più potere concentrato nelle mani di élite opache, meno trasparenza e meno controllo democratico.
Questo modello non ci interessa, anzi ci disgusta: in Europa vogliamo democrazia, regole e controllo pubblico.

There seems to be a continued backlash agaijst #OpenAI for their begging for the US military comtracts which will allow for automated killing with no human involvement as well as mass surveillance. As a result of #Anthropic rejecting those two points, people are flocking to their service.

**but they (anthropic) were still happy to accept money for developing technology to assist with murder.**

> ive been accused multiple times of being sanctimonious, a virtue signaller, dogmatic, etc for telling people they should move away from corporate platforms. Everyone complains about the rise of fascism/authoritarianism but most people are not willing to make any changes. Stop using the tools of your oppressors!!
