  • "You will own nothing and feel nothing"

    Edit: link to palantirs manifesto

    1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation

    Sure.

    1. We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization? The object has changed our lives, but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible

    What? The iPhone is fucking NOTHING. What are you, a 13 year old from 6 years ten years ago? Who even thinks like this?

    Also, iPhones have apps. They just have apple apps.

    My brain hurts from how unprofound this is juet 2 points in. Can we get to the fascism yet?

    1. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public

    Yeah so that's fascist. In a very lame capitalist way, too. Nobody has ever said or believed these things before, it's like fascist mythologising to justify extracting even more out of the workforce at the end of history.

    1. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software.

    Translation: We will use warfare to crush non AI empowered societies.

    You might say that they're proposing this because it's the only thing their AI has proven to be good at, but i'm pretty sure the AI fucked up when it decided to target primary schools in Iran over and over again. The alternative case - that Palantir staff/ the mikitary chose to target little girls, is much worse.

    Don't know if i can be bothered to give annotations to each point but i'll put all the other points in my next comment (nested under this) for readers convenience.

  • "NOWHERE IS SAFE!"

    That's nice, Guardian. Part of a series, is it?

  • Does it? I feel like i would've already heard from journalists who had this happen to them. I also lnow that the iranian state's arm doesn't seem to reach this far - if it did, it would go for america or israel first.

  • Would love to see a thriving British video game industry. Everyone knows that Indie games are better than AAA companies and we happen to be very short of big corporations likely to eat up smaller studios, so thzt won't be a problem🤧👍

  • Not on PC, but on my tablet I just use the youtube app and i haven't been bothered to look into adblocks on the app. You have to use browser to adblock, right?

  • Doesn't seem like an unreasonable assumption, Wales is mostly white and almost all white outside of Cardiff, Swansea, and maybe Newport and Wrexham. And I have heard they only push it in schools to the west of Caerdydd

  • That's absolutely groundbreaking.

    To be fair, i doubt that those government agencies will follow the rule anyway. Much like how Wales passed a law saying politicians can no longer lie there, lol. But i appreciate the prime minister reigning in the services a little.

  • Everything he promises sounds good to me.

    The party would also build new nuclear power stations, scrapping the SNP’s longstanding ban on the technology, and greatly streamline the planning system to speed up developments, Sarwar added

  • Capeshit

  • I'm gonna be negative. NONE of that looks medieval. It looks more medieval in its current form. Unless medieval people uawd permanent bulky wooden stalls with irregular angular woodworking, and i didn't realise it.

  • Art looks really good. Unfortunately i seem to have just missed this one

  • This is a completely different and bigger problem than the culprits being ex army. For starters, they're also ex-convicts, which i think is a more accurate indicator of being a child abuser. But secondly, there's a fucking child rape industry - a "shadpw care system," as the article puts it - and the article just briefly mentions thst like "yeah that's just something thst happens in a socoety like ours, can't be helped"

    Maybe the headline should be "Child rapists control the entire framework for looking after vulnerable children"

  • Casual UK

  • Off with his head

  • RaTW: The starting gun is in Sicily

    Glad they're going through europe again, i think europe-asia or europe-africa gives a more interesting journey than staying in one continent

  • Ouch

  • Lmao, yeah the Ideologies at play here are 1. Believing in equal access to healthcare, which a genocidal AI company like Palantir will NEVER BE ABLE TO FULFILL properly, and 2. An opposition to AI because we believe in not letting robots steal human jobs

  • I don't use an adblocker on this device and the article was full of AI-gen adverts of old people exposing themselves to me :(

  • So often it's impossible to defend labour

  • I like them. It makes me think that there's at least one person, the message writer, who genuinely wants the best for everyome passing by the board

    I think in some contexts/when i was a teenager I wouldn't like them. It triggers a " don't tell me what to do!" Or "you don't know a thing about my problems" reaction
