Truly a terrifying episode. When capitalism meets “artificial intelligence” meets nuclear weapons, humanity is in the process of building its own doomsday device. From Dr. Strangelove to SkyNet, some of our favorite dystopian fantasies painted a future that’s now turning all too realistic. #AI #NuclearWar #CapitalismKills

By the way, how “neatly” does this episode fit in directly following Ali Kadri’s dissection of capitalism as the commodification and our consumption of all the death and destruction we produce…

All these episodes lately have been illuminating and timely. If only this quality content was promoted by mainstream sources, these horrible actors and dangerous tech could be mitigated and used for the collective good, rather than more war, oppression, and exploitation.

And why do you think mainstream sources do not share content from Project Censored (or Gabriel Rockhill)? 🤣

Well at least this weekend we’re bombing TF out of another sovereign nation that’s no threat to us in the manual, human-directed, conventional way… FFS #OldSchool #Imperialism

Yet another brilliant but highly sobering episode. Places like Iran, Gaza, Venezuela, Cuba and even the US are essentially the playground for the psychopathic Silicon Valley techbros to test their latest toys aka AI killing machines on anyone who dares to challenge their empire.

Folks just bobblehead around, thinking "sure we can vote this away" as they are walking through the slaughterhouse

I always enjoy learning from the expert guests you have on #MacroNCheese, although the knowledge gained, is scary as hell! AI’s real purpose isn't chatbots, but permanent war: Silicon Valley is profiting from embedding flawed AI into Pentagon contracts, border control, and even nuclear command systems. What could go wrong? 🙄

Flawed tech is being sold as a national security necessity: Systems prone to hallucination and data poisoning are promoted as indispensable, despite risking catastrophic errors like nuclear escalation.

This criticism of AI-enabled warfare is grounded in material reality. It’s timely in light of current news about Iran. We need to remain clear-eyed about the class forces at work

No war but a #CLASSWAR. ✊️

John Conner beat Skynet, we can beat the military industrial complex, to do that we need to know how that complex works. Know your enemy and know yourself and you needed fear the results of 100 battles.

I remember that war games movie with Matthew Broderick … “DO .. YOU .. WANT .. TO .. PLAY .. A .. GAME?” … yeah they’re (the powers that be) playing a deadly game with all of us as collateral damage.
