this seems bad, is this bad?


carry on citizen
here's a bit more on this...directly feeding yougov/ice etc


here's the gist of the post

tl;dr persona kyc and openai are frens, using your selfie for verification and sending to ICE (or USGOV in general), using AI to tie to your financial records. see subsequent post for full write-up. its long and not mobile friendly

Sadly, I have no idea what all that means.:confused::(

Science and history must be burned.
These are the actions of MAGA Nazis.

The Trump administration is illegally gutting NASA’s largest research library.

The Trump administration is dismantling NASA’s Goddard Library and discarding decades of irreplaceable, non-digitized space and climate data despite legal protections.
Does prioritizing "government efficiency" justify the permanent destruction of unique scientific and historical archives?

Seriously, tell me how Trump isn’t an enemy of the state and working with our adversaries to weaken us and set us back for decades.

social media sites are starting to implement age laws, one of them is discord. The company in doing the age verification for this is called persona, it's taking this information and selfie pictures that it takes during the age verification process and then send it to whichever US government agency wants it (it's also tying this information to your financial records)

MAGA is just ISIS at this point, but for pedophiles.

That takes climate denial to a whole new level.

Maga likes to beat kids, and sexually abuse them. Sometimes both at the same time.

A bunch of sick sick puppies, including their supporters who are fine with all of this, no matter their fake protests.

Not to mention there is probably a lot of AI bubble in US market right now.

I for one would be a lot happier if all these mega cap tech companies were paying me dividends instead of pouring endless billions of free cash flow into something that does not and likely never will make money. The market at large is starting to issue the same grumbling watching capex continuing to escalate with minuscule revenues to show for it.

Should we socialize these losses and bailout all these tech companies when they collapse under the debt of their failure?
It's the same question we faced in 2008, albeit a somewhat different market. OTOH, a collapse of this scale might take our banks down with it. Requiring the same exact moves from two decades ago.

The market is not wobbling cause AI is a dud.

AI stocks have been over hyped sure. So correction.

The real wobble is the performance sector that AI is going to gobble up.

Software companies are taking a hit cause why pay some license for something that anyone can cook up at home with Claude Code.
This alone might be enough to pull the trigger on a larger correction, even recession.

But AI is there to stay, so is the datacenters and the infrastructure that supports them.

Invest accordingly.

AI might be overhyped, but it's the real deal and not a nothingburger.

A lot of these companies existed even though when you could have cooked them up in a week or two even before AI. OK, so you've replaced Monday/Atlassian with something (which was easy to do anyway IMO, e.g. Linear). Now you need to replace Salesforce? Office (or gsuite)? Figma? Slack/Teams? Zoom? The problem that these companies solve is liability, compliance, security, maintenance etc. Sure, maybe you can replace one of these - but when you've got 10 or 20 or 50 of them, are you going to move all of those in-house? Who's going to manage that? Who'll manage the infrastructure? who'll handle CVEs or security issues?

There's also the case that these software companies can leverage AI themselves to make their product better.

Having said all of the above, I think that many companies will take a hit (some a major one, as evidenced by the fact that for some of them Insiders like CEOs etc haven't exactly been buying the stocks even after the price drop), but I think that there's a race to the bottom that people are ignoring, and if just creating a cheaper alternative to take major business from these companies was enough, they had a problem even before AI.
