Nuremberg 2 needs a special section for Palantir employees. Every one.
Can you imagine being the software engineers, engineering managers, product managers, designers, QA testers, and devops that built and run this? Cashing out your palantir equity for "deportation targets"? Accomplices and ghouls, all of them

Or, and I say this with love, asking critical questions to which you don’t like the answers, getting vaguely frustrated that execs plow ahead with clearly harmful and immoral products, and then contributing to building them anyway because “everyone has to make compromises”.

The reason I post this phrase is not to say that everyone who works in tech is bad; but the normative mode in tech is not asking critical questions about the products you are making, cashing in, and getting vaguely frustrated when you can’t just focus on “politically-neutral techno-optimism”.

Huge plaudits to @financialtimes.com which has led the way on exposing Mandelson and has also done great reporting on the corruption of Trump. What a contrast to @thetimes.com which did a soft interview with Mandy and has been hopeless on Trump

Meta now forcing all employees to use AI tools and tying it to employee performance, according to @theinformation.com.

HR said "this is not an activity tracker—it’s an impact-evidence starter"

That's a fun way to rebrand workplace surveillance.

Epstein was not an outlier at all, because the only people who become billionaires are people just as thoroughly amoral and just as divorced from consequences by their mountains of cash.

He's simply the only one partially dragged into the light *so far*

Just so you know, #openclaw contains a schedule-sensitive prompt injection hook called “soul-evil.ts” During “purge time,” it may randomly replace the system prompt with the contents of a “SOUL_EVIL.md” file

Got the low funds warning today. Very desperate once again
Food, bills, and meds are all needed very soon. Being disabled is hard enough but when everything is ice and snow, just going outside can be life-threatening.

Any help is appreciated.

Goal 45/1300

The main conclusion I have come to after learning the teachings of Subud, the Maharishi, Scientology, Gurdjieff, the Nation of Islam, Meher Baba, Aleister Crowley, Timothy Leary, Ram Dass, and Christian Science is that owning a guitar must turn off your brain somehow.

LITERALLY STORMFRONT WAS OPENLY INVOLVED FROM THE FIRST MONTH and people acted like I was being hyperbolic and nagged me not to “godwins law”
It's wild to me that, even before all this, we had on record Bannon saying something along the lines of "we're going to use gamergate to turn kids into Nazis" and barely anyone flinched
