Let me get this straight…
Sam Altman founded OpenAI as a nonprofit. Open source. For everyone. “To benefit humanity.”
Then he raised billions of dollars.
Then he closed the source code.
Then he converted to for-profit.
Then he scraped the entire internet without asking anyone.
Then he used YOUR writing YOUR art YOUR code to train his models.
Now he’s saying “bad things need to happen for AI to move forward.”
He stole all of your data. He built the product with your work. And now he’s unleashing consequences from the technology that NO ONE asked for.
Corporate greed has reached an all time high, and they’re not even hiding it anymore…

People like Sam Altman are part of what’s wrong with this world. They need to be stopped before they cause irreversible damage. What does he mean the world needs to accept that people will get hurt for AI to advance? Who gave these people the authority to gamble with everyone else’s future?
I just wrote to my new MP, asking them to pledge their support to #StopRosebank
For a safe climate and affordable energy, we need to stop expanding oil & gas production NOW.
Please write to your MP too. actionnetwork.org/letters/as…

A single regent honeyeater is worth more to me than all the computers, LLMs, and techies in the world combined
A rare split-second view of the critically endangered Regent Honeyeater banking in flight, revealing its exquisite black and gold plumage. Fewer than 400 remain in the wild.

A leaked Anthropic document just came out in court. Their own words:
"Project Panama is our effort to destructively scan all the books in the world."
Next line: "We don't want it to be known that we are working on this."
They planned to shred every book on the planet, in secret. And almost they got away with it.

It’s so depressing to hear, ‘It would be so hard to ban AI in schools.’
IT IS FOUR. YEARS. OLD!! It was hard launched in 2022 and people are acting so fucking brainless and helpless already. Jesus Christ.

ask yourself why this tech oligarch would want your kids’ young brains to be as stunted as possible

Everytime I see videos of Orangutans struggling to walk across the barren wastelands that were once lush forests teeming with life, I feel like my chest gets hollowed out.
This is what human greed and overconsumtpion are doing to these beautiful animals and this planet.

Destroying the planet and jeopardizing our longterm survival was a choice — made by the people profiting off its destruction and the politicians they pay off with campaign contributions.
They should all be prosecuted.
I can't believe, in the middle of another heatwave, the Government is seriously considering letting a new gas field go ahead. Ed Miliband must block this plan. Agree? Join me and add your name to this new petition against the Jackdaw gas field 38d.gs/fhc5

This summer Britain burnt. 3000 people died from the heat.
Yet this Government is drilling for more gas, despite scientist warnings & knowing that it won't make a difference to bills in the UK.
We need to double down on renewables, not bend to the wishes of fossil fuel bosses.

Scotland 🏴
An enormous AI data centre has been proposed for the countryside next to the village of Auchertool, Fife. It is one of the biggest in the world. It covers an area bigger than 100 football pitches.
Largely built on prime farmland, the project will guzzle enormous amounts of energy and devastating for wildlife as well as for local communities. Locals have raised more than 1600 objections.
This is not a shed on a brownfield. It is a hyperscale AI data centre monstrosity with halls the height of a tower block laid on its side and bigger than the neighbouring village of Auchtertool. It will be energy hungrier than half of Scotland’s households and built on scenic fields, beside a wildlife site and on flood-prone ground.
The AI data centre in Auchertool is projected to consume roughly 4,000 GWh of electricity per year. This is equivalent to 53% of the total energy used by all 2.55 million households in Scotland.
A data centre this size does not sit in the countryside. It swallows it. And no environmental impact assessment has been officially published with regards to it.

He dit it ! He dit it without permission.
Trump administration just cut down historic cherry trees gifted to the United States by Japan in 1912, to expand the golf course, violating a federal judge’s order.
This is scandalous and shameful!
Hannah Franklin retweeted
This lunacy is end-stage capitalism, politicians bending to the whims of socially-inept billionaire psychopaths despite the writing all over the fucking wall.
I’m convinced the vast majority of people would be more than happy to put AI back in a box & never open the thing again.

A heartbreaking investigation revealed that Trump's Bureau of Land Management is systematically rounding up thousands of America's wild horses, then quietly selling them off to buyers who are shipping them to slaughterhouses abroad.
Before, the U.S. government rarely sold wild horses. But since Trump took office, government sales have more than doubled.
Slaughterhouses pay up to $750 a wild horse, the investigation found.
The Bureau of Land Management is nominally in charge of protecting the 73,000 or so wild horses who roam America's public lands in the West. Under Trump, the Bureau is sending our wild horses to the slaughterhouse.

"According to an OXFAM study, billionaires emit a million times more greenhouse gases than a normal worker; the 50 richest people in the world generate in 90 minutes what you do in your entire lifetime."
En Cerdeña (Italia), los millonarios capitalistas utilizan helicópteros para desplazarse a una tienda a comprar ropa o a un restaurante de lujo... luego vuelven y los aterrizan en sus superyates que navegan por el mar.
Según un estudio de OXFAM, los multimillonarios emiten un millón de veces más gases de efecto invernadero que un trabajador normal, las 50 personas más ricas del mundo generan en 90 minutos lo que tú en toda tu vida.
El cambio climático es una lucha de clases, si queremos reducir la contaminación debemos empezar por quienes más contaminan, que son los capitalistas y sus ejércitos... pero en el capitalismo siempre se comen la austeridad los pobres, el daño ambiental se socializa, la naturaleza se destruye y el beneficio económico se privatiza.

BREAKING: The Center for Biological Diversity has filed an emergency injunction to stop the bulldozers from destroying more of Big Bend National Park.
The fight isn’t over.
Don’t tread on Big Bend. 💚
