"At trial, Mark Zuckerberg and Instagram chief Adam Mosseri testified that “harms to children, such as sexual exploitation and detriments to mental health, were inevitable on the company’s platforms due to their vast user bases,”"
Umm... if the problem is your platform is too big that it has to harm people then maybe the answer is "you can't be that big"
Bernie Sanders just created a video to make a point about issues of privacy in AI (a real problem). His supporters on Muskrat's platform came for me when I quote tweeted his post saying, "at this point, Bernie’s job seems to be lobbying for Anthropic."
So I'm going to elaborate on the corporate psyop that has been happening since the beginning of time and how no one seems to learn their lesson.
Be a little weirdo today....or a big one...or a medium one. Just be your awesome weird self, okay?😉

What @pluralistic has been saying for months: Big Tech monopolies bring "earnings so gigantic they’ll be hard to grow big from here".
Now they are betting big on AI to keep the mirage of hyper growth, but "the companies making money from AI are the ones selling the tools … and their customers are having a hard time monetizing that equipment". https://fortune.com/2026/03/19/rob-arnott-stock-market-outlook-magnificant-7/

in case you need a taste of how fucked the tech industry is right now, I'm being required to use AI at work. if I talk about how it fucks up or overcomplicates basic asks, it's because I "don't know how to use it" which indicates a "lack of growth mindset", and thus poor performance. I've been told this directly to my face, starting immediately.
so not only must I use Claude, I have to cover for Claude's mistakes, and then go the extra mile to pass off my own work as Claude's.
