wealth concentration is already 200% as bad at is was in 2020. think about that
The pace at which US wealth concentration is rising is simply staggering
The concentration of AI wealth into the hands of a few tech barons + plutocratic capture ==> unchartered territory

Because legally qualified American voters don't want to be harassed and intimidated by masked gunmen as a condition of going to vote. Is that really hard to understand?

A provocative idea I used to have was that AI would be able to outperform humans at any intellectual task in my lifetime. Today conventional wisdom in the tech industry is it’ll happen this decade.
My new provocative idea is that we will see an equivalent of the Butlerian Jihad in my lifetime.

This is wild.
41 DUI arrests by a Tennessee trooper. All dismissed. 22 drivers were completely sober.
He “resigned”. No explanation. No accountability. No apology. His personnel file doesn’t even mention the cases.
Police departments shouldn’t be in the business of shielding corrupt officers.

Sadly, ICE learned what not to do in Minnesota… they have not left… but are spreading out in disguise tricking and nabbing people before we can respond. We need a new plan….

As Melissa points out in the replies, this guy, who also proposes putting women in "breeding gulags" to be repeatedly raped and forced to give birth, had dinner with the president of the United States.
Fuentes, yesterday: “Our #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”
Nick Fuentes: “The number one political enemy in America is women. … They have to be imprisoned.”

This is insane.
Warehouses are not that expensive. $5 M can buy a 100k SF in SoCal. And not in the middle of nowhere, in an industrial park.
$38.3 B would buy a warehouse the size of Delaware.

Meta may market its tech as being helpful for the blind or cool for athletes. But any "good" technology can also be used against people.
And Meta's unwillingness to reckon with those tradeoffs despite saying it would have public discussions, is noteworthy.
