Jimmy Dore warns that relying on a universal basic income provided by ruling elites amid AI-driven job losses is dangerous and irrational—arguing AI intensifies elite disregard for the general population, accelerating the need for humanity to unite and rise up.
"You've got the UN admitting climate change isn't a thing and that all of our horrible predictions were a lie. And why? Because they've got to build these data centres."
"So the elite isn't going to use climate change as much to control you anymore, because now they're going to actually control you."

If you think you're going to have a revolution, you haven't seen this video.
This kill drone is made by Palantir. It has facial recognition.
You will own nothing and be happy. Or dead.

Erin Brockovich is back, and this time she's coming for the AI industry, calling out Big Tech's data center boom as the next great environmental shakedown of American communities. She launched a self-reporting map at brockovichdatacenter.com, and within a week over 1,600 residents had filed complaints spanning noise pollution, skyrocketing utility bills, and serious water depletion concerns. The pattern she's seeing looks awfully familiar: corporations dangle promises of jobs and tax revenue, municipalities wave projects through with minimal environmental review, and the people who actually live there get left holding the bag.
The water issue alone should be setting off alarm bells. Data centers gulp enormous amounts of water to keep their cooling systems running, and some are being planted directly above critical aquifers. As Brockovich put it plainly, "Wasting heat is wasting water. We can't afford either." The technology to capture and reuse that waste heat already exists, it's just not being required. That's a policy failure, not a tech failure.
A recent Gallup poll found that 7 in 10 Americans oppose data centers being built in their communities, with many saying they'd rather live near a nuclear plant. Brockovich's demand is straightforward: if Big Tech is going to drain public water supplies and jack up utility bills, the public deserves full transparency. "If you're using public resources, the public has a right to know how much. Sunlight is the best disinfectant."

@Romudeth It’s like Uber’s disruption of the taxi industry. The think tanks and reporters called taxis “legacy” businesses.
Uber broke a lot of regulations to steal market share.
So now all these other tech guys learned from that Wild Wild West Uber mentality. Regulations can’t keep up.
English
I don't understand why there isn't a bigger push to sue these companies that use AI to steal others' work. It's the biggest IP theft in history, yet they get away with it. It's absolutely insane that they just get away with it.

ORACLE'S LARRY ELLISON: “Citizens will be on their best behavior” with AI surveillance systems
"We're constantly recording and reporting everything that's going on."
"It's unimpeachable."
Welcome to the dystopian AI surveillance state.
Nicolas Hulscher, MPH@NicHulscher
REMINDER: The White House announced “The Stargate Project” where Larry Ellison pushed "personalized" AI mRNA cancer shots developed within 48 hours. MAHA was already infiltrated by mRNA transhumanists on Day 2 of the Trump Administration.

“The real disruption is not AI replacing people. It’s people with AI replacing everyone else.”
Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon, says the people predicting the collapse of white-collar work are missing the real story.
AI is not a replacement layer. It’s a force multiplier for people with expertise. Engineers, doctors and builders won’t disappear — they’ll operate at a scale that used to require entire organizations.

@DaveShapi Question: when they eliminate the masses, who will financially support them? You eliminate the global population, you also eliminate the economy as we know it.
So, how are these elites going to maintain power amongst themselves even? And who is gonna be the last man standing?

We're kinda heading towards technofeudalism.
In the worst case scenario, we're not going to be a "useless class" it's actually going to be much worse.
We're going to be "redundant biomass."
I've been working on my next book after Labor Zero, which focuses on the balance of power after automation takes over.
The outlook is grim.
Labor's necessity is the only thing that has kept elites, corporations, and states in check across all of human history. Invariably, whenever the state or firms do not need human labor, they treat humans like garbage.
Thus, in essence, "technofeudalism" is actually kinder than what we'll probably end up with. At least under feudalism, the landlords still needed serfs.
In a fully automated future? Your body is a net negative to the state.
English
@DaveShapi The creepy thing is that these oligarchs seem to be okay with a dystopian world where, if they are the last ones to survive, they are surrounded by machines…and each other.

@redpillb0t Can we get our plastic straws back now? And not have to pay for grocery bags?

The Climate Change hoax vanished the moment companies needed data centers.
Yeah, we noticed.

Bourgeoisie attitude:
Kevin O’Leary is painfully self-centered and self-indulgent. He thinks the little guys don’t deserve Starbucks.
He’s such an expert in “capitalism”.
Well, that’s an idea, guys, let’s put Starbucks out of business because we shouldn’t buy $5 coffee.
dank@cptdankkk
Kevin O'Leary says most people waste $15,000 a year on stupid stuff like $5 coffees "Stop buying coffee for five dollars and fifty cents" "You go to work and you spend $15 bucks on a sandwich, what are you an idiot. It costs you 99 cents to make a sandwich at home and bring it with you" "Bring your own water, your own drink or your own coffee mug. You start to add that up every day it's a ton of money" "Most people starting on their job making their first $60,000 piss away about $15,000 a year"

I just got off the phone with someone who's worked in congressional opposition research in Washington for over a decade. What they told me should end every "Massie just lost a primary" framing permanently.
"Every single member who pushed the Epstein files got the same private message from leadership. Every single one was told the donor networks were watching. Every single one was told there would be consequences. Every single one who stayed quiet kept their seat."
Massie and MTG didn't stay quiet. They co-sponsored the Epstein Files Transparency Act. They forced the DOJ to release documents over White House resistance. They named the Israel lobby out loud, on the record, while still sitting members.
He chose to do it knowing $34,000,000 would be spent against him in a single primary.
He chose to do it knowing Trump would endorse his opponent.
He chose to do it knowing pro-Israel donor networks had already removed members for less.
He chose to do it knowing MTG had already been made an example of in the same cycle.
A former Hill staffer I know who watched this from the inside put it this way: "The difference between Massie and every other member who had the same files on their desk isn't information. They all knew what was in those documents. The difference is he actually released them."
Read that again.
Every member of that coalition had access to the same evidence. Two of them acted. Both of them are now out of Congress, in the same cycle, removed by the same donor networks.
MTG said it herself: "Releasing the Epstein files was our demise."
That's not a loss speech. That's a receipt.
Follow and turn on notifications before it's too late.

Scraping websites and having AI summarize them, so that no one visits the websites, is theft.
Training AI on videos, so that it can make new videos that compete with them, is theft.
We are witnessing the largest theft of creative work in history.

What kind of government brings back cyanide bombs onto public land after years of documented deaths and outrage?
The devices are called M-44s. They’re baited with scented lures designed to attract coyotes and other animals. But they don’t know the difference between wildlife, pets, or children.
One tug releases sodium cyanide into the victim’s face. Moisture turns it into deadly hydrogen cyanide gas. The result is often convulsions, paralysis, and a horrifying death.
These are the same devices that killed a 14-year-old Idaho boy’s dog in front of him in 2017 and sent him to the hospital.
The Biden administration banned them from Bureau of Land Management lands in 2023. But in 2026, Trump’s agencies quietly reversed course, reopening roughly 245 million acres of public land to their use. Then House Republicans pushed language to fully restore the program through the USDA.
Wildlife Services’ own records show thousands of animals killed with M-44s in a single year, including accidental deaths of protected species and non-target animals. Family dogs, wolves, grizzlies, even condors have been caught in these traps.
This isn’t conservation. It’s poison hidden across public lands for the benefit of livestock interests.
Americans should not have to worry about cyanide devices near hiking trails, campsites, or places where children and pets roam.
They brought them back quietly because they knew the public would be horrified.

The biggest sleight of hand in the Digital ID era isn’t centralized government surveillance, it’s outsourcing it to private companies.
Here’s why this matters:
The Constitution only limits the GOVERNMENT. The 4th Amendment protects you from warrantless searches and seizures. But it does nothing to stop corporations from demanding your iris scans, facial recognition, fingerprints, or voiceprints.
Once you “voluntarily” hand over your biometrics, those protections disappear.
The real kicker?
Federal agencies can just purchase your data from brokers instead of getting a warrant. They’ve been doing this for years with location data, browsing history, and more.
Congress keeps trying (and failing) to close this loophole.
Right now it’s “voluntary” Tinder, Zoom, DocuSign, banking apps, school platforms, and payment processors.
Tomorrow? No scan = no service.
When a handful of corporations control housing, food, jobs, banking, education, and communication… “just use another company” stops being realistic.
This is how we lose our constitutional rights without them ever being officially revoked.
Both parties rage at each other on TV while quietly expanding surveillance.
Welcome to the slope. 👁️🚫 👇

The modern world is obsessed with eliminating the need for human skill.
Autopilot for driving.
AI for writing.
Algorithms for dating.
GPS for navigation.
Predictive text for thinking.
Every year another part of your brain gets outsourced to a subscription service.
And people celebrate this like it’s liberation.
But there’s something deeply dangerous about becoming incapable of doing basic human things without machine assistance.
A pianist still understands music even if the piano disappears.
I’m not convinced the average person under 25 could survive a dead phone battery without entering a medically observable state of panic.
The frightening part isn’t that the machines are becoming intelligent.
It’s that humans are becoming passive.
As a civilization, we used to admire competence.
Now we only admire convenience.

Ah..no…I hate AI! And I’m not hypnotized…just actually able to THINK FOR MYSELF!

This might be the subject of my next big article. How people have been hypnotized to hate AI. There's a lot of propaganda out there about job displacement and data centers. Time to fix it.

Stupidest post I’ve read all week!
Alex Finn seems to be an agent of China and wants to actively have AI put all those kids he is chastising out of work…while ruining the environment!
China uses AI to keep its citizenry in check. Grandmas “have” to line up @AlexFinn ! Idiot!
Alex Finn@AlexFinn
Scariest video I've watched this week America's next generation actively booing the most transformative technology our species has ever seen In China grandmas line up to get OpenClaw installed In America, supposedly our most educated people BOO even the mention of AI The west simply does not stand a chance if this continues We have a massive AI marketing problem in this country and nobody is doing anything to fix it Tomorrow Meta will announce 8,000 layoffs. They will blame it completely on AI They won't blame it on their irresponsible hiring in 2021 or extended elevated rates or horrible market conditions or bad inflation No, in order to not tank their stock, they'll blame it on AI College students will read that and learn to HATE the technology They'll protest outside datacenters holding ridiculous signs that say "SAVE OUR WATER NO MORE DATACENTERS" Politicians will see this and run on blocking data centers just to get a few votes All of it will be a cycle that leads to America losing to China This should be a warning sign to all frontier labs and CEOs: messaging matters. And if your messaging doesn't change the West is cooked

Dear @RepThomasMassie: Kentucky uses rigged voting machines from several companies.
Do you have your legal team ready to stop fake ballots from being "found" and then counted in the counties?
This will happen at the end of the count.
Ask me how I know.

Walmart updated their new AI call system for when customer call in
It now says, “This call and your voice may be recorded for quality or other business purposes”
You won’t believe what their “other business serves” are…
It is not limited to AI training, voice cloning datasets, emotion tracking, behavioral analysis, customer profiling, speech recognition systems
So when you call into Walmart they are literally recording. then storing your voice. It can possibly be used for things like “voice cloning” and more
This is horrifying and it’s really happening
Here are some of the more controversial uses:
- behavioral profiling
- emotion detection
- cross-linking voice data with customer profiles
- long-term biometric storage
- AI model training without clear opt-in transparency (You are literally just calling in to talk to customer service)
Even worse, modern AI systems can extract a lot more information from speech than people realize:
- accent
- emotional state
- stress
- probable age range
- speaking habits
- identity likelihood
- purchase intent
- deception indicators (though these systems are often unreliable)
All this and voice cloning….
Some states have started to pass legislation to stop this but it’s still in the early stages so companies are getting away with it
