An internal survey conducted by Meta showed that 19% of Instagram users between the ages of 13 and 15 said they were exposed to unwanted “nudity or sexual images” on the platform.
Reading Oligarch Watch is the most depressing thing I do all week. I feel angry and defeated. I feel like there is no recourse for humanity. I feel like the bad guys have all the power (vomit on The Met), and they are abusing that power for gain. They say and do stupid things and yet we are supposed to believe they are the smartest people in the room. They are nothing but shells, and they will die, these oligarchs, but not before they do so much damage, there is no coming back and the world will, for their benefit, become a poorer and dirtier place. The results of that are inconceivable.
Zuckerberg has been acting with impunity and raking in billions for far too long. Reel these oligarchs in or our people, our hope for a democracy is lost.
He doesn't realize the amount of suppression he does to spit words out of his mouth. The fact that he thinks humans, with brains developed to continue to expand, are less capable to figure out how to solve problems after we have been doing so for millenia boggles my mind. There are kids in their preteens who have solved critical social and environmental problems in their communities. Teens who I know and have tutored who are tackling real, human centered problems to improve outcomes in society. To claim it takes 20 years for a person to become "smart?" Dude is in his 40s and still incapable of realizing what humanity consists of.
All true. These tech bros are social juveniles acting impulsively. And yet they have the keys to the kingdom. We're in big, big trouble and I'm vetting every candidate for their refusal to take PAC money from them and an unwavering commitment to regulate and break up their monopolies.
"Washington’s state Senate voted last week in favor of imposing a 9.9% annual tax on individual income that exceeds $1 million. While the proposal is far less aggressive than California’s proposed billionaire tax, it would still be a notable change for a state with no income tax."
Huh? How is an ongoing 9.9% annual tax on income that exceeds $1 million "far less aggressive than California's proposed billionaire tax," if CA's tax is only a 5% ONE TIME tax on BILLIONAIRES?

Sociopath Sam Altman wins the prize for the most specious bullshitter on the planet:
" ... probably, AI has already caught up on an energy efficiency basis, measured that way.”

We are not in a race with AI. Humans will always control it.
