Generative AI is amplifying bad data at scale. Everyone obsesses over model quality while far fewer ask if the source material deserves that much amplification in the first place. Is the bigger risk right now weak models or bad data moving at machine speed? 🤔

I put on my fraud detection hat whenever I see a 22 year old Tech bro who supposedly dropped out of college to fund an AI startup. In this case, what I found about this Kled guy is incredibly disturbing. K5 Global is Kled’s lead investor. K5 Global is a firm that frequently invests alongside the Palantir and Thiel network. Another Kled backer, Aglaé Ventures, owned by Bernard Arnault, has a massive AI portfolio that intersects with the same labs that Palantir’s AIP integrates with. Basically, Kled is the Data Harvester for Palantir. Their job is to mobilize hundreds of thousands of gig workers, mostly from the Global South, to upload personal photos, videos, and documents. They convert raw human life into a machine readable product. Their clients like Palantir act as the Data Refinery. Palantir’s software, specifically Foundry and AIP, is designed to take that data and make it actionable for governments and corporations to put into global surveillance and military use. We can safely conclude that this Kled guy and other similar AI startups harvesting user data are human meat shields. They are specifically set up and funded to do the dirty work for Silicon Valley tech empires. Understand that these Large AI labs are currently being sued by artists, writers, and publishers for stealing data through web scraping. To win these court cases, OpenAI and Palantir need to prove they have clean, consented data. Buying a dataset from Kled, where every user signed a 50 page digital consent form in exchange for $20, gives these billion dollar tech companies a free pass. Also, imagine if Palantir, a company already criticized for government surveillance and US military war campaigns, offered to pay people in developing countries to film their living rooms and daily activities. It would look like a global surveillance network. By using Kled as a middleman, they get the same data but keep their hands clean in the public eye. Even though we cannot verify his claim of Nigerians defrauding his company, what we can verify is that he is an industry plant. He is set up to allow AI data labs to continue harvesting user data for global surveillance and military use.

Meta is allowing sanctioned Israeli settler groups to monetise content while banning Palestinian accounts, including journalists. Al Jazeera's @Nour_Odeh reports.

"Baba, I am invited to @PiersUncensored against someone who says nasty, hateful lies about Islam. What do you advise?" @Malhachimi: "Son, don't just say the facts. Print them on paper and hold them up for everyone to see. Obliterate the lies with the clear, plain truth" "Ok"

On its 50th birthday Apple is doing its best to become the most hated company in the world.

@MalayAhmad @eeelistar @sanjaybuilds_ Congrats!!

I finally got my first official Web3 job 🎉 working with @eeelistar and @sanjaybuilds_ on the New Wave podcast. May God bless this journey and I won’t take this for granted.

One Palestinian was killed and others wounded as Israeli settlers attacked villages in Qusra and Rashayda in the occupied West Bank, shooting Palestinians and stealing livestock, local officials say aje.news/ql90qq

JUST IN: 🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iranian Foreign Minister says "US officials are posting fake news to manipulate markets." "It won't protect them from inflationary tsunami they've imposed on Americans. Markets are facing biggest shortfall in history."

This is bigger than just a dataset. This will enable a whole generation of African language AI that doesn’t beg to be included but leads the way!

More than twice as many kids killed in Lebanon just this week as were killed in Israel on Oct 7th. But no one cares. Arab lives have no value.

@theOfficial_ibk Huge congrats to you!

“I never said that” Oh no!! It gets worse

Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region. Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat. We live in Orwellian times.

Imagine selling your soul for $7,000, and then you don’t get paid.

BREAKING: TikTok has permanently banned my account, with over 300K followers, for exposing Israel. This is disgusting. Where is freedom of the press? Who can help me get this account back?

🚨 Since CNN can’t show you this, I WILL. Tucker Carlson plays disturbing video of an Israeli Rabbi openly plotting to shoot a missile into the Al-Aqsa Mosque and blame it on Iran. He is EXPOSING israel. Wake up Muslims.
