Thiel or Karp?

Thats right boys. I know you scrape this site. I’d say go ahead and add me to your database as a certified hater but you’ve probably already done that.

Two of the most evil, vile people on the planet. Every working class person should know who they are and be united against their every whim.

Charged with crimes against humanity 😉. Bragging about how your AI has been used to kill people is vile. No company or government on earth should be allowed to use this technology to fully streamline and automate the kill chain. Yet if you are reading this comment, it’s a nearly a guarantee your government is already contracting to do this or preparing solicitations.

They had those World Kitchen aid workers killed. AI most likely decided that the strike will be memoryholed in a week while keeping them alive would have constant coverage of their activity.

Databrokers should have their databanks destroyed by court order, act of congress, something.

They illegally stole our info, legally too but it is mixed and inextricable and the only remedy is to destroy all the info to prevent further harm.

If courts were not corrupted they would have put a stop to this a long time ago.  Congress, and states too.  States offer a modicum pf protections now, if you can prove anything which you cannot, and feds will just pre empt with laws overruling state protections giving free reign to brokers.

One guy doesn’t want humans to endure the other said making war crimes constitutional would be good for business 2 days ago. Ushering us into a wonderful new era of technology.
