Doing a public service here folks
Ai software necessarily brings risks, which are only magnified by the possibility that such programs might develop a form of self-awareness and intent. But the suggestion to ~~halt the development of these technologies~~ (have any regulations at all on this) is misguided. It is essential that we redirect ~~our~~ (your) attention toward building the next generation of AI weaponry that will determine the balance of power in this century, as the atomic age ends, and the next. (bro I don't this ensuring american hegemoney sounds as good as you think it does rn)

Fixed Palantir's announcement on AI to make it fair and unbiased
Image with text, some is crossed out and replaced. The united states and its allies should without delay commit to ~~launching a new manhattan project~~ (giving me money) in order to ~~retain exclusive control~~ (only give ME money)over the most sophisticated forms of AI for the battlefield - the targeting systems and swarms of drones and eventually robots with will become ~~the most powerful weapons of this century~~ (a great way to make money). The aircraft carriers and fighter jets that defined warfare in the last era will become accessories to ~~software~~ (violating the Geneva Convention) - the means by which increasingly ~~intelligent~~ (pervasive) systems wield power in the world. Our defense budget, and the legions of personnel charged with overseeing it, are ~~out of date by decades~~ (too ethical). An urgent effort to shift the emphasis of our investment in ~~national security~~ (giving me money), bringing together America and its partners in Europe and Asia, must be launched now.

Poster of Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, throwing a Seig Heil salute at the US presidential inauguration. His face is stylized to resemble a skull. Behind him are the words "Stop Tech Fascism".

#NetworkState is seriously having an effect on policy. Compare and contrast.

"Freedom Cities" (With potential locations!)

Wonder Boy Elon Musk gracefully soaring over the American Plains. "Tech Billionaire Manifest Destiny" beautifully frames him. "Coming to a town near you! Stop land grabs - be a Network State NIMBY"

I invite artists to remix this graphic for their own country and add to the story! Not just a USA problem. though we sincerely apologize for creating the mess
A hulking angry billionaire in a patagonia jacket yanks at the United States like an upset toddler. He very badly want to build a tax-free network state where he can run unregulated experiments and feels very entitled to his dream. But the people hold fast to their country. They are more powerful! The text says "Resist Land Grabs". On his jacket reads 'tech fascism'

This is probably understood by most, but I thought I'd draw up a goofy little comic to explain: Resisting tech fascism is not limited to one specific worldview. You only need to stand for SOMETHING

Hello Bluesky! :D I'm a croissant. About me!
I hyperfixated on political corruption and extremism. Now I happen to have an obscene amount of knowledge about why current events are unfolding the way they are, uh yea!

When I say "we" I'm referring to other croissants. We are legion. (1/x)
