I have this theory that people work so many jobs not just because everything is unaffordable, but because a lot of places don’t want to hire people full time. They don’t want to provide benefits or overtime, so they keep all their employees just under the line.

No one died, he shot himself in the process, completely ruined all meaningful relationships to pander to racist morons online, ruined his life and future, and above all: accomplished NOTHING

Alice Rosenblum is repulsed after meeting a guy who’s spent $2,000,000 on her Alice: “I’m really scared, kick him out now” Clavicular: “I’m glad you know now a little bit about these people that are doing this, it’s sad really”

@messeduppcs Started on Mac because that’s what I was given as a kid. Switched to windows in high school for games. Switched to Linux as an adult in my career after finally understanding technology and adopting the desire for a free and open system (and also games work on Linux now)

@JamiFknLanister @anishmoonka The ai might not be good enough to replace humans but does that stop greedy CEOs who are already far extracted from the complexities of the day to day work from replacing them anyways?

@anishmoonka I think people are heavily underestimating probability that this will simply not pan out.

Yesterday Meta told every US employee their computer will now record mouse clicks, keystrokes, and screenshots while they work. All of it goes into training an AI to do their job. In 30 days, 8,000 of these same employees are being laid off.
Reuters got the memo. The wording is the company's own: the recordings will be used to build "AI agents that can perform work tasks autonomously." Reuters also confirmed the May 20 date and the number, 8,000 people, exactly 10% of Meta's global workforce.
Meta is spending $115 to $135 billion on AI infrastructure this year, almost double the $72 billion it spent last year. The entire business only generated $115.8 billion in cash for all of 2025. Meta is now planning to spend more on AI in 2026 than the whole company brings in.
Part of the bill went to a company called Scale AI. Meta paid $14.3 billion for 49% of it last June, mostly to bring in CEO Alexandr Wang. Scale's whole job is to tag and clean the human-written data that AI models learn from. Meta wanted Wang because their old data supply ran dry.
The public internet is almost out of fresh material to feed these models. A group called Epoch AI ran the math and projects the world will burn through its supply of high-quality human-written text on the web somewhere between 2026 and 2032. The industry calls this the "data wall." Google and OpenAI are stuck on the same side of it.
So Meta turned inward, to the most expensive training material money can buy: their own employees doing their own jobs. Mouse movements teach the AI how to move around a screen, click by click. Keystroke logs hand it the exact shortcuts and rhythm an experienced worker uses, the muscle memory of the job. Screenshots show what a finished task should look like. The people being recorded in April are the raw material for the AI that replaces them in May.
This is not just a Meta thing. Amazon laid off 16,000 corporate workers in January. Oracle let go of up to 30,000 of its people, about 18% of the company, on March 31. The cash they saved goes toward $156 billion in AI data centers. The whole pattern across big tech is identical. Record profits and record AI spending, paired with the biggest workforce cuts since the pandemic.
The thing they are building is a software worker that opens the dashboard, reads the numbers, drafts the email, books the meeting, and never needs a coffee break. The training data for that worker is a senior Meta employee doing all of that, on Meta's payroll, one month before their last day.

Abolish Palantir 🗣️
Palantir@PalantirTech
Because we get asked a lot. The Technological Republic, in brief. 1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation. 2. We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization? The object has changed our lives, but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible. 3. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public. 4. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software. 5. The question is not whether A.I. weapons will be built; it is who will build them and for what purpose. Our adversaries will not pause to indulge in theatrical debates about the merits of developing technologies with critical military and national security applications. They will proceed. 6. National service should be a universal duty. We should, as a society, seriously consider moving away from an all-volunteer force and only fight the next war if everyone shares in the risk and the cost. 7. If a U.S. Marine asks for a better rifle, we should build it; and the same goes for software. We should as a country be capable of continuing a debate about the appropriateness of military action abroad while remaining unflinching in our commitment to those we have asked to step into harm’s way. 8. Public servants need not be our priests. Any business that compensated its employees in the way that the federal government compensates public servants would struggle to survive. 9. We should show far more grace towards those who have subjected themselves to public life. The eradication of any space for forgiveness—a jettisoning of any tolerance for the complexities and contradictions of the human psyche—may leave us with a cast of characters at the helm we will grow to regret. 10. The psychologization of modern politics is leading us astray. Those who look to the political arena to nourish their soul and sense of self, who rely too heavily on their internal life finding expression in people they may never meet, will be left disappointed. 11. Our society has grown too eager to hasten, and is often gleeful at, the demise of its enemies. The vanquishing of an opponent is a moment to pause, not rejoice. 12. The atomic age is ending. One age of deterrence, the atomic age, is ending, and a new era of deterrence built on A.I. is set to begin. 13. No other country in the history of the world has advanced progressive values more than this one. The United States is far from perfect. But it is easy to forget how much more opportunity exists in this country for those who are not hereditary elites than in any other nation on the planet. 14. American power has made possible an extraordinarily long peace. Too many have forgotten or perhaps take for granted that nearly a century of some version of peace has prevailed in the world without a great power military conflict. At least three generations — billions of people and their children and now grandchildren — have never known a world war. 15. The postwar neutering of Germany and Japan must be undone. The defanging of Germany was an overcorrection for which Europe is now paying a heavy price. A similar and highly theatrical commitment to Japanese pacifism will, if maintained, also threaten to shift the balance of power in Asia. 16. We should applaud those who attempt to build where the market has failed to act. The culture almost snickers at Musk’s interest in grand narrative, as if billionaires ought to simply stay in their lane of enriching themselves . . . . Any curiosity or genuine interest in the value of what he has created is essentially dismissed, or perhaps lurks from beneath a thinly veiled scorn. 17. Silicon Valley must play a role in addressing violent crime. Many politicians across the United States have essentially shrugged when it comes to violent crime, abandoning any serious efforts to address the problem or take on any risk with their constituencies or donors in coming up with solutions and experiments in what should be a desperate bid to save lives. 18. The ruthless exposure of the private lives of public figures drives far too much talent away from government service. The public arena—and the shallow and petty assaults against those who dare to do something other than enrich themselves—has become so unforgiving that the republic is left with a significant roster of ineffectual, empty vessels whose ambition one would forgive if there were any genuine belief structure lurking within. 19. The caution in public life that we unwittingly encourage is corrosive. Those who say nothing wrong often say nothing much at all. 20. The pervasive intolerance of religious belief in certain circles must be resisted. The elite’s intolerance of religious belief is perhaps one of the most telling signs that its political project constitutes a less open intellectual movement than many within it would claim. 21. Some cultures have produced vital advances; others remain dysfunctional and regressive. All cultures are now equal. Criticism and value judgments are forbidden. Yet this new dogma glosses over the fact that certain cultures and indeed subcultures . . . have produced wonders. Others have proven middling, and worse, regressive and harmful. 22. We must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism. We, in America and more broadly the West, have for the past half century resisted defining national cultures in the name of inclusivity. But inclusion into what?

23. Companies should not be publishing manifestos on how our societies should operate and function. The act of private companies attempting to take on the role of government and/or policy construction should be seen as a threat to national security and the Western way of life.
Unless Palantir or others are willing to accept direct democratic oversight and accountability, they should remain entirely outside of the realm of policy formation or decision-making.
We are a freedom-loving people with values, principles, and rights that are not gifted to us by government, or corporations, or narcissistic drug addicts suffering from god complexes.
If corporations will not or cannot understand this, and stand in support of fundamental Western values (free speech, privacy, individual liberty, etc.) they should be broken up or temporarily nationalised in order to bring them back under direct democratic accountability and control, and until new laws and/or constitutional amendments can be made to protect free citizens from infringements on their god-given rights.
