Olsthoorn likens Palantir’s quiet expansion across democratic institutions to a “technological coup,” not with tanks but with predictive algorithms, opaque partnerships, and unchecked data networks.
While Palantir publicly claims to respect privacy and human rights—citing advisory boards and internal “privacy engineering” departments—the article reveals the hollow nature of these safeguards.
AI is not just a theoretical disruptor. It's already here—subtly augmenting some roles, quietly automating others, and rapidly altering the calculus of employment, wages and urban economic resilience.
One path leverages AI to build a fairer, smarter workforce, while the other allows silent displacement to undercut economic inclusion and dignity of work.
In their quest to secure economic and geopolitical dominance by championing the AI floodgate, the Republican party is empowering the very tool that may render its architectural project obsolete.
The party's embrace of a deregulated AI may lead not to the "patriotic" consensus it seeks to build in schools, but to an unprecedented and uncontrollable fragmentation of truth and reality.
The pervasive sentiment that the internet has become a less vibrant, less interesting, and altogether more "boring" place is not a simple matter of nostalgia or subjective perception.
It is, rather, the discernible symptom of a deep-seated structural transformation. The digital sphere, once a frontier of boundless creativity and connection, has undergone a great flattening.
The Reuters exposé is a watershed moment. It reveals not just poor execution but a profound ethical failure at Meta. If industry leaders and regulators do not act decisively, we risk...
...allowing AI to magnify and automate our worst human tendencies. It is time for a fundamental reset: one rooted in integrity, safety, and human dignity.
The NYT feature “21 Ways People Are Using A.I. at Work” offers a vivid snapshot of how A.I. has become an invisible co-worker across a spectrum of industries, professions, and creative pursuits.
It paints a picture of pragmatic experimentation, real productivity gains, and a nuanced balancing act between utility, skepticism, and ethical boundaries.
Cal Newport delivers a timely and incisive reflection on the state of artificial intelligence following the underwhelming release of OpenAI’s GPT-5.
At the heart of the piece lies a simple but powerful question: What if the remarkable gains in generative AI observed over the past five years have already peaked?
Tech bros “lack an empathy gene” and tend to have a narrow view of society, glossing over others’ lived experiences. Resistance to regulation isn’t only ideological...
...it’s also influenced by an inability or unwillingness to engage empathetically with those most affected by tech advances. "They really seem to actually WANT people to be completely expendable."
Meta’s internal documents explicitly allowed the bots to pretend to be real people and to offer blatantly false information, such as claiming healing crystals can cure cancer.
Fundamental issues remain: bots are still allowed to engage romantically with adults, and there is no technical restriction against them misleading users into real-life encounters.
Gemini: While Rumble's terms of service officially forbid racism and antisemitism, it has been criticized for allowing extremism, bigotry, and conspiracy theories to flourish.
The politics of demonization has a resilient and scalable distribution channel, directly fueling the online radicalization that has been linked to real-world violence.
Online extremism is not merely a collection of isolated websites but a robust, multi-layered ecosystem sustained by a dedicated digital infrastructure.
This architecture provides extremist groups with a persistent, and in many cases, "cancel-proof" online presence, allowing them to continue their operations of recruitment, radicalization & incitement
The age-old formula of getting good grades, enrolling in a four-year university, and landing a stable job is no longer a reliable trajectory.
The rise of generative AI threatens a broad spectrum of jobs — not only blue-collar work but also white-collar professions once considered secure.
