    WHAT!? Trump announces mega tech companies will build “national medical database”

    It’s really happening. Trump really is turning the government and the country over to mega technology companies— and the cyber criminals who routinely hack them without any consequences.

    Trump is on a big brother rampage. First it was operation Stargate, followed by operation crypto normalization, then operation palantir surveillance, and now an Orwellian “national medical database“ that will apparently store all of American health records and be easily accessible by anyone who can “push a button” according to Trump.

    Some of the companies he mentioned who will be building this freedom destroying Frankenstein database:: Amazon, Anthropic, Apple, Google, and OpenAI. You can rest assured Palantir and other AI companies, who are right now working on our government without any oversight, will be writing the code.

    I need to warn you this will be one of the creepiest and cringiest things you have ever heard, so brace yourself…

    PS: the image at the beginning of this article is a screen cap of when he was gushing over how “brilliant“ all of the mega tech corporations are — you know, the mega tech oligarchs who are stealing our data, our privacy, our jobs, our money, our livelihoods, our children. Brilliant, he says.

    Palantir just took over the US government…

    You would have to be living under a rock, in complete denial, or totally brainwashed to think this is a government for the people when it is literally being transformed into the very dystopian regime depicted in the book 1984 by George Orwell.

    OK, so Trump is enforcing the border and doing a couple other OK things, NONE of it will matter in the very near future when the AI overlords and their partners in government are in complete control of everything and everyone and there are no jobs left for anyone other than plumbers. To deny this inevitable outcome of all the technology decisions Trump and his team are making right now is to deny reality.

    In fact, I would say anyone denying the reality of these insane government decisions is every bit as dangerous as the people turning our government over to the technocrats for complete control over the people and alas, the destruction of the greatest country in the history of the world.

    96% of employers using AI to screen, interview candidates…

    Suddenly, AI (which we refer to as “job replacement technology”) has taken over corporate HR departments, performing tasks such as résumé screening, analysis, and now even interviews!

    On an increasing basis, job candidates report encounters with creepy cordial AI robots (or, as the resistance is now calling them, “clankers“) during phone interviews. In many cases, the employer doesn’t even tell the candidate they will be “meeting” with a robot.

    For their part, recruiters claim AI helps them to do their job more efficiently and is better at finding great candidates. In full disclosure, I never thought I’d see a day when people were going around boasting about how robots can do their jobs better than they can, but here we are. Then again, human resources people aren’t exactly the sharpest pencils in the box, to use an outdated cliché. Wait, what is a pencil?

    Not that many people will have to worry about this. Most people can’t even get an interview. I talk to young people on Reddit all the time who have applied for 300, 400, 600 jobs and not received a single interview yet. Companies are so cold they don’t even send a canned “thank you for applying” email anymore. Yet we are supposed to believe these same companies love us and will “trickle down“ all the extra profit they are pocketing from massive Trump tax breaks? Sure thing.

    Here’s the flipside. Well, there is no flipside. Other than being an interesting reference tool, AI sucks and is sucking the life and money out of the working classes; and not only is the government not doing anything to stop it, it is actually helping them. Can’t say this was on my bingo card. You?

    

  • Op Ed: AI data centers are not your friend

    Op Ed: AI data centers are not your friend

    We get it, people are excited about the “golden age” that we have supposedly entered, at least according to Trump. The promise of AI powered everything is very exciting—at least to people who don’t exercise their minds, don’t exercise their bodies, and don’t exercise their rights. We get it. But it shouldn’t be exciting. It should be downright horrifying.

    Why? how much time do you have? Here are a few examples:

    AI data centers require ridiculous amounts of energy. There is one being proposed for Wyoming that will require five times the amount of energy that is needed for all of Wyoming’s current residents.

    AI data centers do not create jobs. Zuckerberg built a 5 million square-foot data center in Louisiana and there are only 500 jobs, and they are so advanced that they have to import people from other countries to fill them.

    AI data centers steal jobs from working class Americans. The more data centers, the more computing power, the more jobs will be automated. This is the end of the American dream as we know it.

    AI data centers occupy massive swaths of land that should not be handed over to technocrats, but rather given to the people to build affordable housing and other amenities for the people. The rich people are already on multiple hounds and businesses. Why are we giving them more land ? Especially when the purpose of the land is to replace all of us?

    Those are just a few of many examples why AI data centers are not our friends (nor the people who build them and run them) and we should not be excited about them.

    Most mystifying to me is why so many people continue to support government officials, including the current president, who support the construction of mass AI data centers? We should not be supporting these people, we should be throwing all of them out of office, since they are accomplices to the greedy, soulless, Godless technocrats who are throwing all of us out of the American dream.

    Why do people love people who are destroying them? For the life of me, I don’t understand it.

  • “CLANKER“ is the new slur for AI-powered robots

    In Star Wars, “clanker” is a derogatory term used by clone troopers and other Republic forces to refer to the battle droids of the Separatist army. The term is not meant to be a formal designation but rather a slur used to dehumanize the enemy. in our brave new world, people are using it to describe AI powered robots as seen in this video that has gone viral.

    The more important point here is that young people are getting increasingly angry at the robots and their soulless technocrat engineers who are replacing their jobs. It’s about time.
