In the past few months, a wave of tech corporations have announced significant staff cuts and attributed them to efficiency gains driven by artificial intelligence (AI).
Companies such as Atlassian, Block and Amazon have announced they would lay off thousands of employees due to increased reliance on AI.
The narrative these companies offer is consistent: AI is making human labour replaceable, and responsible management demands adjustment.

U.S. District Judge Brian E. Murphy, a Biden appointee, granted a motion by the American Academy of Pediatrics for a preliminary injunction against the reduced childhood immunization schedule earlier this year, along with the remaking of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, invalidating all votes made by the committee since.

Donald Trump menaces the world. He’s global public enemy number one. He’s steadily losing the illegal war with Iran he started but cannot stop. His violence-addicted Israeli sidekick, Benjamin Netanyahu, is terrorising Lebanon. And ordinary people everywhere, their security threatened, face a huge economic bill for his reckless folly.
Humiliating failure now looms, as symbolically damaging to US global standing and national self-esteem as Afghanistan or Iraq, says Guardian foreign affairs commentator Simon Tisdall
One thing that seriously pisses me off is how GOP politicians have actively been convincing the people to do things that obviously result in illnesses running rampant, and now everyone is sicker as a result. Each time I catch an illness reminds me of it. >:(
#IRAN 🇮🇷 has not launched an #unprovoked conventional invasion or war of conquest against another nation in thousands of years.

• #Israel 🇮🇱 is currently being prosecuted for #genocide at the International Court of Justice ( #ICJ), which has issued multiple legally binding orders to stop genocidal acts and end the starvation of the population in #Gaza.

• In the last year alone, Israel 🇮🇱 has launched military strikes and operations across at least six territories: #Gaza, the #WestBank, #Lebanon 🇱🇧 , #Syria 🇸🇾 , #Yemen 🇾🇪 , and #Iran 🇮🇷 .
• The Zionist controlled #US has repeatedly used its veto power to block UN Security Council resolutions (To block #Israel from being held accountable for crimes against humanity) for a ceasefire and has moved to sanction ICC officials to prevent the enforcement of the arrest warrants.
Your car simply watches and decides whether you’re fit to drive If the AI determines you’re impaired, it can prevent ignition startup or limit vehicle speed. Think Minority Report, but for your morning commute.
Federal Surveillance Tech Becomes Mandatory in New Cars by 2027
Your next car purchase comes with an unwelcome passenger: a federal mandate requiring surveillance technology that monitors your every blink, glance, and head nod. Thanks to Section 24220 of the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, NHTSA must finalize rules forcing all new passenger vehicles to include “advanced impaired driving prevention technology”—essentially turning your dashboard into a judgment-free zone that’s anything but judgment-free. ...
