Yeah, this is fine and normal.

@aral Alex Karp is a drug addict and needs to be arrested, along with the doper Elmo Husk. And these corporations that don’t pay their fair share of taxes should be excluded from the social discourse. Paying 35% of their gross income should be the minimum.

@aral A Nazi manifesto. Troubling.

[aral@mastodon.ar.al]

@Iveyline Yep.

But it’s ok, I’m sure they won’t do anything bad with the whole of the UK’s health data. Or all the data they’re getting from EU countries who are rolling out the red carpet for them.

@aral @Iveyline its weird given all the blather about soveign tech in europe that people are still giving contracts to a US company that isnt even up to SAP level....(there are half a dozen UK companies that also could do this work well - e.g. Kainos just for starters

Who said it best, Louis XVI or the folks at Palantir?

“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.”

If we don’t destroy humanity, someone else will destroy humanity so we must ensure that we destroy humanity before the bad guys destroy humanity.

“The question is not whether A.I. weapons will be built; it is who will build them and for what purpose. Our adversaries will not pause to indulge in theatrical debates about the merits of developing technologies with critical military and national security applications. They will proceed.”

@aral the weird thing is that so many Americans continue to fail to realise that America *IS* the problem and their talk of defence is laughable when we look at their propensity to create war - for the most villainous of profit reasons (or distraction from domestic political woes). The talk of enemies knows nothing of how the US so often creates and maintained them.

We need a world without superpowers…

“National service should be a universal duty. We should, as a society, seriously consider moving away from an all-volunteer force and only fight the next war if everyone shares in the risk and the cost.”

(Except us and our billionaire friends. We’ll be hiding out in our underground bunkers getting fellated by our AI tradwives.)

We gave you the Native American genocide, slavery, segregation, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Vietnam, forever wars, school shootings, McDonald’s and Elon Musk… what more do you want?

@aral you see that in everything from their world, the answers ALWAYS involve more military

[rapsneezy2@mastodon.social]

@aral

some of the replies showing agreement with Alex Karp are a little disconcerting

i am starting to wonder if I'm in a bubble or if those fascism acolytes are in a bubble?

i had thought that americans were starting largely to regret the fascism they egged on

Both of them forgot about personal freedom and civil rights.

[lyrial@transfem.social]

@aral@mastodon.ar.al I implore everyone fellow US citizen that reads this; use Tor. For everything. If you are using an Android phone for most things, download F-Droid before Google prevents it. From there, there is an application called Tor VPN which makes every app you have open use Tor - VPN style. For (all PCs, Macs included) download and install the Tor browser. for iOS - I can't say because I don't know.

@aral That sentence was when I stopped reading the stupid manifesto

[sus@timeloop.cafe]

@aral it’s weird that their noblesse oblige is manifested via killer robots and compulsory military service for plebes instead of like housing and feasts.

[zbrando@social.vivaldi.net]

@aral So if I understand well " our culture is in decadence and to be forgiven we must be worst than of what already are to extract resources and rule with power."

@aral that's really the saddest iteration of this:
