#ElonMusk has sold #X ,his #socialmedia #company ,to #xAI ,his own #ArtificialIntelligence start-up. Why does that makes sense? Well, the two #Musk companies already share many resources. Especially, the AI models of xAI are already trained on #data posted by the X users who, thus, work for free for Elon. Merging both companies will also boost the use of #AI in X, for instance as far as individualized #publicity targeting and large scale manipulation of #publicopinion are concerned.


Good Night, Tech-Right: Pull The Plug On AI Fascism

„The Tech-Right is united, but less by their scattered reactionary ideologies, and more by their shared class interests. They want us divided, thinking we’ll fight each other over the scraps they offer us, or by generating the latest outrage on social media platforms they control.

We need to organize and build around our shared class interests, reaching across divisions, around common goals and struggles. We want homes for everyone. We want a livable planet for our children. We want control over our labor. We want to abolish the systems that are destroying us.

In the 1990s, anarchists, labor unions, anti-sweatshop activists, and environmental groups helped mobilize thousands in militant protests against corporate globalization, all under a Democratic president. Using decentralized networks, independent media, and affinity groups, they helped to create a growing movement, rooted in anti-capitalist analysis and direct action. We did it before, we can do it again.“

The oligarchs want a king. Let’s give them a peasants’ revolt instead.“

Don't let Google & co. take over our lives and spaces!
Fuck off #Google!

"Google steals and exploits our #data for profit and turned this behaviour into a norm. It also colonizes our physical spaces. Google canceled its plan for a ‘Google Campus’ in Kreuzberg, Berlin under pressure by the neighborhood; yet it continues its expansion worldwide.
As a decentralized network of people, we want to keep our lives and spaces free from this law- and tax-evading company and its peers, and oppose the dystopian future they offer.
More on our wiki....."

Trump's attempt to clean up after Elon Musk backfires

One question remains: What is the true motivation behind Musk's #DOGE project?

"What #Elon is after... All the LLMs have sucked in all the #data. Now they need more to have an advantage.

... #Government is the biggest trove of #information on the planet...

"why do you rob banks? Because that's where the money is. Why do you rob govt agencies? Because that's where the data is."

This Is Going Even Worse Than Steven Levitsky Expected
https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/how-trump-brought-competitive-authoritarianism-to-america.html

"We’re pretty screwed...

The second thing I didn’t anticipate was the role of #Musk... frightening. We don’t know what he’s going to do with #data. And frankly, at least in democracies, I’ve never seen a concentration of #political, #economic, & #media power as vast as this.

[interviewer]And in an unelected official.

[Levitsky]]In an unelected official, right"

#ElonMusk #Doge #Coup #USPol #Politics #News #USA
Text from article(edited for length):
Many of the warnings in your essay have already turned into reality... Have things accelerated more quickly than you were anticipating when you wrote it? In other words, how screwed are we right now?

We’re pretty screwed. A couple of things are a little worse than I anticipated... Republicans... have been even weaker than I thought... Congress is basically shutting itself down in the wake of the executive branch usurping its power...

The second thing I didn’t anticipate was the role of Musk... That article drew on 20 years of research on competitive authoritarian regimes elsewhere in the world. The kinds of stuff we predicted, a lot of which has come to pass, are strategies that have been carried out in literally dozens of other cases. But Musk is pretty new. This is something that I don’t really have a model to understand. There’s a sort of technological frontier element to this that’s a little frightening. We don’t know what he’s going to do with data. And frankly, at least in democracies, I’ve never seen a concentration of political, economic, and media power as vast as this.

And in an unelected official.

In an unelected official, right. With the exception of really old-fashioned dictatorships like Somoza and Trujillo, or Mobutu in Zaire — the concentration of political, economic, and media power here is just stunning. That’s just never been seen in a democracy to my knowledge. So that’s really new territory.

Friends. I’m honored to be part of a team who is archiving data being targeted by fascists: science, health, DEI, climate…all of it.

It’s exhausting, mentally psychologically. But totally worth it.

What @lavaeolus began is now a thriving group effort. There’s a core group of us working feverishly, but anyone is welcome to join us.

"Leaders of five #journalism organizations, including the National Association of Science Writers and representing more than 7,000 members in the United States and abroad, sent the following letter to the heads of eight U.S. federal agencies that have recently removed public datasets and databases funded by Americans’ tax dollars."
