Sadly this trend is echoed in the US as well since 2023 many have been arrested for their freedom of speech https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c3rnzp4ye5zo

One faces consequences when breaking the law, the other is tasked with breaking the law in the name of upholding it

Meanwhile palantir is training AI models that assassinate journalist. Ethics are a major part of tech, we can make decisions that distribute billions in relief or execute millions.

For the wealthy not the poor

Maybe this will finally encourage us to move away from centralized services and create truly decentralized social networks outside of our own governments reach.

Unless they are accurate most of the time, I would agree with this.

Money, also they fake I drink X coke a day while knowing he can pay for any medication or doctor in the world. The humble rich is a facade to stay in power.

It’s the end result of building a system of engagement over meaningful interaction. The more time spent watching ads disguised as content, the greater the profits.

Responding to a deleted comment on tech control:

They do already, google, Microsoft, meta, Amazon all AI defense contractors using their technology to suppress negative feedback to their involvement in military contracts. Police using surveillance to spy on journalists phones. Healthcare approval completely automated by AI and school that don’t know difference between student or AI homework.

The richest already have nearly 50% of buying power. Elon Musk can make cities building rockets the size of skyscrapers. You don’t have to look forward, you can look at the past robber barons for examples. Yes it’s bad for the economy but it’s great for a few people who acquire wealth.

This assumes that a less resources intensive future awaits or that conflict driven by lack of employment doesn’t lead to the end of AI.

Yup, limit residents and percentage grading ensure that doctors are in short supply. Compare to the extremely streamline jr Doctor programs in the UK.

I’ve been watching documentaries since I was kid that do the same thing every few years. At least we’ve finally given up the were 10 years away from living forever.

I know people who’ve died because of AI algorithms years ago. They’ve implemented state programs with no legal oversight and only governed by an algorithm.

He’s also buying up a lot of farm land in US…

Yes, https://youtu.be/KO3-xkVACgE?si=suWJxu_TCPq37V6W

Cannot ignore that his communicable disease research and treatment has been effective. But his school voucher and farming initiative have been awful. Ultimately it would have been better as general revenue to provide these services through government.

It’s hardly an equal fight, Gaza is an occupied and colonized territory that has limited ability for resistance. We wouldn’t be having this same discussion about South Africa overthrowing their apartheid.

That’s the truth, if we remain silent we will be targeted eventually. I am extremely disappointed by the lack of tech colleagues calling this out. I took an oath of ethics to do no harm and I see many people willing to use technology to find and silence critics of the government.

The Visa isn’t being denied for a crime. It’s targeting specific speech of protestors and that should be unconstitutional. Anti-BDS laws fall in the same category and those impact US citizens. You can refuse to hire based on beliefs but the government has no right to tell you what to say. If you commit a crime or materially support terrorism you have a day in court.

I agree, but I think these countries don’t actually have free speech. I don’t care if I disagree with these positions. I will protest to defend their right to say it, otherwise I will lose mine as well.

You’re free to support apartheid but I’ve never found slandering your opposition particularly useful. I don’t support any forms of violence, and framing is very important because it leads to peace activists being conflated with war mongering. Israel fascism is at the very heart of why free speech is being banned.

Next year it will be rated electoral autocracy instead of democracy if nothing changes.

Technically if you’re Venezuelan you could be sent to be tortured in El Salvador

Even during normal times with proper documentation I was detained for a few hours. This is something completely different. I’ve seen deportations immediately for wrong documents. I haven’t seen 14 days of arbitrary detention before for correct documents.

At least people here pretended to have ethics before. Now mass surveillance and creating AI to suppress dissent in our countries. We’re breaking the encryption of apps that laws have made weakened. Just tow the line until we’re not able to talk about it.

And what happens if they don’t find a job? Do they become homeless? I know a few Americans who moved to Finland. They accepted lower wages for a better quality of life.

This is a move to placate Trump while preserving the name for other countries that don’t wish to go by his whims.

Instead of rushing to judgement, maybe let Syrians decide for themselves. No one wants a return of ISIS. But if Israel keeps occupying territory and undermining HTS rule then we don’t know what will replace them. Destroying the military assets that might have assisted in that fight may be seen as shortsighted in the future.

I think the main problem I’ve noticed with these initiatives is that lack actually discussion in some organizations and just used “virtual” training videos. If it’s actually going to work then you need top level managers having discussions.

Look up settlement activities, with armed settlers activity removing family often with the blessing of the IDF.
