Continued thread

For the past several years, I've been arguing with AI advocates about the purpose of the technology they're enamored with. I mean don't get me wrong, I'm aware that there are use cases for so-called AI programs that aren't inherently evil, but when you take a look at the nazi billionaires who're behind the projects to force widespread adoption, their long term plans to establish city-state dictatorships out of the hollowed out core of the nation-state era, and what these guys ultimately do with it, it's pretty clear AI is a fascism machine; just as much as IBM's punch card computers were a genocide machine for the Nazis. It doesn't have to be this way, but this is the way it is.

As such, I can't say I'm shocked that after Elon Musk bought himself a president, the first thing he started doing is using AI purge his political enemies as well as their ideas, sort surveillance data to identify targets for a white nationalist regime, and now spy on federal workers in search of those with insufficient loyalty to God Emperor Trump, the regime, and Musk himself.

Exclusive: Musk's DOGE using AI to snoop on U.S. federal workers, sources say

"Reuters’ interviews with nearly 20 people with knowledge of DOGE’s operations – and an examination of hundreds of pages of court documents from lawsuits challenging DOGE's access to data – highlight its unorthodox usage of AI and other technology in federal government operations.

At the Environmental Protection Agency, for instance, some EPA managers were told by Trump appointees that Musk’s team is rolling out AI to monitor workers, including looking for language in communications considered hostile to Trump or Musk, the two people said.

The EPA, which enforces laws such as the Clean Air Act and works to protect the environment, has come under intense scrutiny by the Trump administration. Since January, it has put nearly 600 employees on leave and said it will eliminate 65% of its budget, which could require further staffing reductions.

Trump-appointed officials who had taken up EPA posts told managers that DOGE was using AI to monitor communication apps and software, including Microsoft Teams, which is widely used for virtual calls and chats, said the two sources familiar with these comments. “We have been told they are looking for anti-Trump or anti-Musk language,” a third source familiar with the EPA said. Reuters could not independently confirm if the AI was being implemented.

The Trump officials said DOGE would be looking for people whose work did not align with the administration's mission, the first two sources said. “Be careful what you say, what you type and what you do,” a manager said, according to one of the sources."

Naturally the regime and DOGE have denied that they're using AI to conduct "thought" policing inside the federal workforce, but I think given how readily the Trump administration has engaged in clear ideological warfare and suppression against its perceived political enemies, that denial sound a lot like a hollow lie. Speaking broadly however, I can't say I'm surprised at all that this is where a technology like AI and the billionaire nazis who're pushing it, have lead us as a society. There are a near infinite number of things "AI" technology is terrible at, but one thing it does really well is sort through the vast amounts of data and metadata collected as part of our already existing police state panopticon society; in fact, without automation we really wouldn't be able to sift through that amount of data at all with human eyes. AI doesn't have morals, it doesn't have humanity, it doesn't have any sense of what's right and wrong; it presumes the world it's programmed to presume, and engages in the tasks it's purposed to engage in - and billionaire nazi cultists who want to build their own technofeudalist dicatorships are the guys in charge of the coding and tasking of this technology. Whether it's picking out targets for extermination by the IDF during a genocide in Gaza, hunting down student protestors in vast seas of education and immigration data, or spying on federal workers for anti-Musk sentiments, the fact is fascist oppression and violence *can* be automated - particularly if you don't give a fuck about false positives because you're a soulless nazi murderbot.

My 2 cents for the normie board & maybe the fascism-deniers in your life. I firmly believe that the billionaire's long-term plan is a technofeudalism & fascism is the tool they're using to get there.

The goal is to send us back to feudalism. Trump may not know that, but his handlers do.

Unfortunately, slavery is currently legal and constitutional if you've been convicted of a crime. For citizens and not just Venezuelan "gang members". Thanks 13th ammendment. 🙄

As soon as you let what they have been putting in books and podcasts for years regarding #NetworkStates sink in, current events aren't nearly as confusing or surprising. The #NerdReich is how they plan to control people while they reduce the population to a more "efficient" level.

So as you see, the fascism and the feudalism are intertwined. It's all one fight. #PitchforksUp

How the early 20th century US Technocratic Movement (with its company Technocracy Inc.) prefigured much of today's Silicon Valley ideas of technological singularity and tech oligarchies, including the US annexation of Canada: my co-worker Eva Visser, tutor at Hogeschool Rotterdam, has been working on her PhD thesis on this topic for many years. It is now more relevant than ever. In this blog post she gives a preview of her historical research:

michaelrasche.euAmerican Expansionism & the Technate of AmericaIn her doctoral thesis at Erasmus University in Rotterdam, historian and philosopher Eva Visser is researching the ‘technocrats’, a controversial and banned North American movement from the 1930s. Much of what this group wanted to achieve is now appearing as goals of the US government. An exciting historical view: to understand the present, you have to look into the past.

I find it highly likely that Elon Musk saw this talk by Nick Hanauer. Hanauer warned in this talk that the rising inequality would lead to pitchforks for rich people or a totalitarian police state, and that this inequality should be sharply reduced.

But Musk didn't opt for that, did he? He opted for the totalitarian state, where people will be the indentured servants of the rich and has been all in on that solution.

The book “sold a staggering 1,000 hardbacks a day in the first three days on sale in the UK, despite Meta’s legal tactics to silence the book’s author”, said Joanna Prior, CEO of publisher Pan Macmillan. “This early success is a triumph against Meta’s attempt to stop the publication of this book.”

The Guardian · Meta exposé tops bestseller chart despite company’s attempt to ban its promotionBy Ella Creamer

Just going to hypothesize something here... for posterity and accountability to weird strategic thoughts I have when I try to channel this Musk creep. The tech-bro's have already taken over. That is why they are now sending the DOGE teams with armed escorts and guns to smash small offices of the government. Trump is the vindictive figurehead. It's the tech lords running the show, and they're going to do a deal with China to get rid of Putin.

I'm open to the possibility of something beyond shocking happening. There have already been rumors of revaluing the gold at Fort Knox, restructuring the debt, a national cryptocurrency...

What about, a merger / joint venture with China and the US becomes a total one-party state, USA Inc. They'll leave the illusion of elections, and the Dems will continue to be the useful idiots as they have been for a decade.

The game is no longer Dem vs. Rep. There will be no normal midterms. The struggle at the top is between the Christian Nationalists, the technofascist (Nation State) crowd, and the MAGA base that Bannon leads. Think of Bannon's people as the brown shirts they'll eventually use to silence dissent.

Imagine a chip-access deal or some sort of organized takeover of Taiwan (stripping the island of its sovereignty in Trump fashion) over a set period of time for USA, Inc. to be able to scale semiconductor fabs.

The culture war is a distraction. The rich are stealing the future. :earth: :NoNazis: :ExtinctionRebellion: :NonCommercialUS:

“'They are not making much on streaming services, they are not making much on YouTube for playing their videos,' said [music industry expert Eric Alper]. 'Everything is more expensive, the venues are more expensive, insurance has gone through the roof.'”

They moved fast and broke things, and now everything's broken and has higher concentration of profit and control in fewer hands. Yay #TechnoFeudalism

CTVNews · Fans who bought tickets to BLACKPINK’s sold-out Toronto show feel misled after 2nd date addedIt’s shaping up to be a busy and expensive concert season this summer in Toronto. With some big acts coming to the city, including Coldplay, Katy Perry, The Weeknd, and K-Pop group BLACKPINK.

Oh FFS.

"The discussions have sparked concern among some at the department, especially about the prospect of paying recipients of major federal grants in cryptocurrency, an uninsured digital asset associated with financial speculation, dramatic swings in value and transnational crime.

The focus of the discussions so far has been experimenting with using the underlying technology that makes crypto possible — the blockchain — to monitor HUD grants."
