"The US Army quietly swore in 4 Silicon Valley execs as Res Lt Colonels:
S Sankar: Palantir
A Bosworth: META
K Weil: OpenAI
B McGrew: ex-Open AI
Oh, the technocratic st will be quite operational."
-J Bassler
The Army has said Detachment 201 is focused on recruiting #BigTech execs to serve PT in the #Army Res as advisors to help... make the #Army “leaner, smarter, & more🚨LETHAL.”
More atrocities, Republican MOC are responsible for enabling the #TrumpRegime.

The #Fediverse is amazing, less than 24 hours after I posted this and @peertube is only €223 from the penultimate target with 30 hours to go.
Not taking any credit for that, but happy to see a chord has been struck for all genuine surveillance-capital-free social media. Even more important in the time of #NoKings.
Looks like I'm going to be busy making #Science videos on #ClimateChange in the #Polar Regions too for the next few weeks.
Here's one I made earlier on #SurfaceMass Budget. Let me know if there's something #Climate and/or #ice related you'd like to see a short clip about and I'll see what we can do

Ruth_Mottram - One last push:
The @peertube app campaign is just €7000 away from it's €55,000 target, and 2 days to go. Surely there are #fedizens who may not have seen this already? If they make the €55,000 target I promise to write a peertube channel into my next grant proposal, AND I'll post some better quality videos of our Greenland and #Antarctic research over the coming weeks...
Go!

Ruth_Mottram - Apropos @peertube the french developer collective @Framasoft are currently trying to raise the (for #bigTech derisory) amount of EUR 75,000 to develop the opensource #fediverse competitor app to Youtube. Maybe chuck 'em a few euros if you think it useful?
https://support.joinpeertube.org/en/
Just donated to @peertube.
If you'd like PeerTube the ability to livestream and have the means, please donate to their fundraising campaign as well.
The campaign is running for another 33hrs, but I'm sure @Framasoft doesn't mind if you continue to support them with donations after this period :)

I LOVE that the #NoKings protests are using a phrase from #Andor ❤️
"I have friends everywhere" was the passphrase so you'd know you're dealing with a member of the rebellion.
I started a nonprofit to help people move away from #bigtech https://www.rebeltechalliance.org/
Can you tell I'm a #starwars fan? 😂

When I said these guys were the enemy, you thought I was exaggerating.
Maybe you’ll recognise them now when they’re in uniform.
“Bray Air Display has dropped US defence and aerospace manufacturer Lockheed Martin as a sponsor for this year’s event over the company’s supply of arms support to Israel in the Gaza war.”
Useful idiots in the tech world: “But sponsorship doesn’t affect anything… they should have just taken their money.”
(WTF am I taking about? This: https://ar.al/2019/01/11/i-was-wrong-about-google-and-facebook-theres-nothing-wrong-with-them-so-say-we-all/)

Super well done fediverse! Will post my next Greenland video this evening ...
Onwards to the next goal then ...

Since I first shared this link on Friday, the amount raised has shot up by more than € 6000, not taking credit for that but well done #fediverse
If we get to the €35000 target this week, I promise to post a couple of new #Greenland #science vids on my @tilvids channel. @icesheets_climate
Who else is in? 8 days to go.

Blimey. That's gone fast.
I guess I'd better start editing some videos then... 😁

Since the government openly admits and boasts about its surveillance programs now, why not pardon Edward Snowden?
Also, we should probably stop using smartphones.

What belongs in a spending bill? Banning states from regulating AI and algorithmic content for a decade? Seriously?
Quote is from NY Times.
The investigative team at @TheJournal have, for the first time, mapped each existing and planned data centre in Ireland:
"Where are all the data centres and why should you care?"
LOL
｢ In a nod to European customers' growing mistrust of American hyperscalers, Amazon Web Services says it is establishing a new organization in the region "backed by strong technical controls, sovereign assurances, and legal protections."｣
