Police have been sidestepping and undermining legal prohibitions on their use of AI technologies like facial recognition. We get into the history of using New Orleans as a testbed for policing technology and the dangerous precedent set by this public-private policing partnership.

This voter – and their strange ranked choices! – is a perfect example of how the average person does not really have an internally consistent beliefs or systematic ideology, but rather a hodge podge smattering of things picked up from various places and glued together.

Contemporary American fascism is a representative in Tennessee (and former county mayor) named William Andrew Ogles IV getting so outraged about the NYC mayoral primary that he is trying to get the candidate deported while posting racist remarks and AI imagery to gloat about it.

I got a look at the progression timeline for AI and it said the "facilitate racism, misogyny, and fascism" phase comes right before the "cure cancer" phase which then leads to "solve climate change." Weird sequence but that's how tech works. The good stuff is coming any day now!

We pick apart the weird startups, junk science, and wild ideologies that want you to optimize and assetize your genetics — with the ultimate goal of creating and enforcing a society ordered by genetic hierarchies.
