If you are wondering what the “Tech Prosperity Corps” might be, it is apparently a new Peace Corps program to send people into developing countries and tell them to use AI

@jalefkowit so the Peace Corps -- the brainchild of a labor union leader, and founded by a US president whose stated goal was to counter stereotypes of "Yankee imperialism" -- has now been perverted into an emissary for digital colonialism, global surveillance, strikebreaking, laborforce deskilling, and oligarchic dominance. Awesome. Yet another JFK legacy being shat on by this administration.
