Mamot - Le Mastodon de La Quadrature du NetCory Doctorow (@pluralistic@mamot.fr)Attached: 1 image True Carneyism has never been tried. When Canadian PM Carney traveled to Davos to declare a "rupture" in the old order (admitting this old order was never great to begin with) he told us that there was no going back from Trumpism. The only way out of Trumpism was *through*: https:…

Oh my! In the elections, ppl could also vote directly on policies that would ban or restrict . Almost all of them succeeded.

This is HUGE and has implications beyond the US, because the AI corporations offer their services globally.
The result doesn’t surprise me that much. Especially in the US, the complete disregard for the environment on display here made many people ANGRY. Good.

Today's agenda: drink some strong coffee, have a little treat, and contact my current and incoming electeds to demand they replace Schumer and Jeffries as leaders.

It's time to get us on the path to doing Reconstruction right once and for all, this is no time to be conciliatory.

Another loss for crypto and AI: Democrat Abdul El-Sayed has beaten Mike Rogers in Michigan’s Senate race. Crypto PACs spent $811,000 backing Rogers and an AI group added just over $1 million. El-Sayed has been an outspoken advocate for strong AI and data center regulation.

Obama turning the tables on the do-nothing outrage-faking snowflakes in the White House.

Obama tonight on his Cheesecake Factory line: "They mobilized a whole of government response to that joke. Not to inflation, but to that joke."

Tweet by Kaitlan Collins @kaitlancollins Obama tonight on his Cheesecake Factory line: "They mobilized a whole of government response to that joke. Not to inflation, but to that joke. The White House even called the Secretary of the Treasury. This is the man who is in charge of the economy. The person who's supposed to be figuring out how to make your life more affordable. The guy who's supposed to be figuring out how to lower inflation. And reduce interest rates. They told him he should hold a press conference in front of the Cheesecake Factory." https://x.com/kaitlancollins/status/2115604910515331293

Report: Palantir Targets UK MPs With ‘Intimidating’ Letters

"British MPs who criticised Palantir in parliament received 'intimidating' letters from the US spytech firm".

Eg, Palantir warned Clive Lewis that it "was surveilling his activities relating to Palantir last month", a letter that Lewis described as “very Big Brother” & an “implicit threat”.

"If these measures are enacted, the US could be writing its own losing ticket to this race, and the consequences would last generations." Don't threaten me with a good time.

📝 Become worthless (to tech companies)

Tech companies and their executives have, broadly, moved to align themselves with investors and adopted a posture of, often, disdain or outright hostility towards their users and employees. If tech companies don't value you, why provide value to them? If they back political positions hostile to your interests, why not return that hostility?
