“Peter Thiel is building a parallel justice system – powered by AI.” The billionaire co-founder of Palantir is funding a startup called Objection, where customers can pay to have journalists’ stories assessed for truthfulness by ‘juries’ of AI models. “AI is being weaponised so rich people can harass journalists if they don’t like an article,” says @harriepw.

"My personal pride and joy." That's how Peter Mandelson described the Palantir deal he brokered. The whole thing stinks. Kick Palantir out of our NHS, now.

Old housemates, old school friends, family members, - they even asked a local launderette for an itinerary of what I've had washed! All this from billionaire owned media because they don't want a party to continue growing that challenges power & wealth. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Tony Blair thinks the answer to this country’s problems is AI, welfare cuts and endless spending on war. Who benefits? Arms companies and tech billionaires. Once again, Blair is wrong. The answer is a redistribution of wealth and power and the relentless search for peace.

The reason everything seems so fake is because the working class has been squeezed out of the music business, journalism, TV, and movie production.

Jeff Bezos thinks people are ‘vilifying the rich.’ Bro, you’re one of the richest people on earth and 1/3 of your warehouse workers rely on government assistance for basic needs like food and rent. You ARE the villain.

We live in a society where people who have to use food banks are paying for MPs on £100k to have piss ups at work and then make laws about their fate
🚨 WATCH: Green MP Hannah Spencer asks Keir Starmer if he agrees that MPs "shouldn't be drinking on the job" Starmer: "The Greens think their leader walks on water. It turns out that he just lives on water and doesn't pay his council tax" #PMQs

Companies referring to people as “Lower value human capital” Welcome to end stage capitalism Add this term to others such as “economically inactive” & “useless eaters” The disabled, homeless & elderly fall in these categories too Worth must never be measured by productivity.

We’ve created a kind of sick pornography for the politically sadistic. The kinds of people who read this kind of thing and take it seriously are a far more significant threat to all of us. We’re never going to do this, it’s just an excise in thrilling very perverted people.

One of the reasons that both Neoliberals and fascists hate people like Mamdani is because he proves they are all liars who have effectively sold out their constituents to billionaire interests. All of the pain we have been told to endure has been a choice to sate the wealthy
Mamdani closed a $12B deficit in 132 days, fixed 100K potholes, secured millions for gig workers, fined corrupt landlords millions, raised snow workers to $30/hr, and violent crime hit historic lows. THIS IS WHAT A LEADER DOES!!

The Prime Minister says his government has got "the big political decisions right". Let's go through them. The government chose to cut welfare so it could spend even more on weapons and war. The government chose to demonise the sick and disabled. The government chose to keep children in poverty until it was dragged kicking and screaming to finally scrap the two-child benefit cap. The government chose not to bring water into public ownership, not to tax wealth and not to implement rent controls. The government chose to arm Israel and participate in genocide. The government chose to let the US use British air bases for its war crimes in Iran. The government chose to let Palantir get its hands on our NHS. The government chose to scapegoat migrants and refugees for its own failures. Poverty, inequality and genocide. Those are the government's big decisions. And that is how this government will be remembered.
