Wij roepen de Nederlandse overheid op het Nederlands voetbal elftal niet te laten meedoen aan het WK in de Verenigde Staten. Wij willen niet dat onze voetballers door hun optreden op het toernooi impliciet steun geven aan het gewelddadige terreurbeleid van president Donald Trump tegen onschuldige migranten (al dan niet in bezit van een Amerikaans paspoort).

Boycot het Trump-WK in de VS

Nu deelnemen aan een sportevenement alsof er niets aan de hand is, legitimeert Trumps expansieve politiek. Laat ons land en onze voetballers aan de goede kant van de geschiedenis staan. Hou onze jongens thuis. Deze campagne is gestart nav een column in Vrij Nederland, zie de link hieronder.

Fucking assholes.

“They voted against the possibility that women's bodies belong to women.

The bottom line: Every single objection was to language that either describes women's actual lives, names their actual oppression, or provides mechanisms for their actual protection. The U.S. didn't vote against ideology.

They voted against women. Alone. In front of the world.
And the room erupted into tears when they lost.” - Jenny Carter

Van koning tot koning

#koning Willem Alexander gaat logeren bij #Trump.
Ik vind dat jammer. Ik zou het sterker vinden als hij een briefje stuurt; met :” Dank voor de uitnodiging maar wij laten ons niet in met dictators, boeven en oorlogsmisdadigers. Wij laten ons niet in met mensen die de wereldvrede op het spel zetten ten kosten van vele burgers”.
Dat heeft #willemalexander niet gedaan maar kan hij natuurlijk altijd alsnog doen.
Eens? deel dan dit bericht met de hashtag #zegneetegentrump

Sam Altman: “We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter.”

Meaning: We stole all your knowledge , writing, and art, and now we’re gonna put a meter on it and sell it back to you. You’re welcome.”

Louder for people at the back:

If ‘AI’ gives you a 20% productivity increase, in an economic system that rewards growth at the expense of everything else, the rational thing for any company to do is use that productivity increase to expand into new markets. This may involve some redundancies because you need different skills for the new opportunities but they will be matched by increased hiring in the other areas. If you and your competitors both see a 20% increase in productivity and you use it to make people redundant and they use it to ship more products in more areas, then they will grow at your expense. Their products will be better than yours and you will lose market share.

If you are claiming that you have redundancies because ‘AI’ is increasing productivity, then one of the following is true:

  • Your leadership team does not understand market economics (in which case, investors should worry that the board has not replaced obviously incompetent leadership).
  • You are an unchallengeable monopoly and have already filled all adjacent markets and have literally no possibility of growth (in which case, investors should take note and set their price predictions based on today’s revenue, with no expectation of future growth, which would wipe out over 80% of Meta’s market cap).
  • You are lying about productivity gains (in which case, investors should worry about what else you’re lying about and should start prodding the SEC to investigate).

The whole "AI" industry is just based on the hope that they can deskill people fast enough that they'll have to rent back cognitive support systems. Forever.

It's like Uber. Just that they don't try to break existing transportation infrastructures but your brain.

Dear @kajakallas and @vonderleyen , can the EC please take tough measures against this member state for seizing money from and blackmailing a European partner country under attack by Russia?
