What are the chances of this Labour government holding the Tech Bros who are helping the fascist insurrection around to task?
They'd rather lock up people protesting against Genocide than those who want to kill Refugees, they are not on our side

The Register · UK Online Safety Act 'not up to scratch' on misinformation, warn MPsBy Lindsay Clark

Just 9 households own 15% of the wealth of US Big Tech hub Silicon Valley.

A mere 0.1% of residents hold 71% of Silicon Valley's wealth.

At the same time, 110,000 households reported nearly none or no assets.

After the AI hustle collapses the next tech hustle will be Quantum Computing.

They'll watch the TV series Devs, and claim their product will build new Universes or something.
It won't work, it doesn't work like that, but that never stopped the Tech Bros.

@verge "But I think before we go about trying to change the nation or change the nation state, we should probably discuss that idea with the American people. So, in a nutshell, you have a group of super-rich elites with a very apocalyptic vision of where society and the world are headed, and they are rushing ahead with what they think is the solution, a solution that, by the way, will also put a crown on their heads."

#TechBros be solving lots of problems that don't exist.

I'm looking from a #disabled perspective. One #AI product being marketed to #blind folks is a #ChatBot that can answer questions about things you point your #phone's #camera at. I asked it to ID some pills in a blister pack, and I got an incorrect answer despite the information being printed /right there/. The #developer said to double-check "important" things.

WTAF?

Unfit for purpose.

@georgetakei FOLLOW THE 💰 !!

「[...] Skydance Media, which is slated to acquire Paramount Global, the parent of both CBS and Comedy Central. David Ellison, who leads Skydance, has projected an image of being intrigued by the politics espoused by President Donald Trump...」

The company buying CBS (i.e. Skydance) is almost entirely funded by David Ellison's MAGA conspiracy theorist billionaire daddy #LarryEllison.

Maybe, just maybe, the point is to create a second FOX propaganda outlet with this one doing the #Techbros' bidding specifically. 👀

Apparently CBS were also shameless during the McCarthy persecution era so... 🤷‍♂️

The #Oracle founder Larry Ellison was best mates with Apple founder Steve Jobs FWIW.
