"In many cases, the app developers ... are likely unaware they are acting as a conduit for government surveillance because the data collection is not based on any code the app creators have included themselves. The end result is tools that can potentially track hundreds of millions of phones."
Won't matter , ππ
Both of them are immoral pieces of evil crap, and drive me crazy, but I have more recently been driven more crazy by Rubio's run away ranting. He talks so fast he has got to be on speed. I would rather neither of them proceed to further candidacy for anything, ever.
They want the weak little man who is too afraid to tell Trump that the shoes he purchased for him are too big so he will suffer wearing them:

Well we'll see what Thiel has to say about that. Trump has forgotten his masters.
Oil prices may undercut the GOP's midterm message.
βIf you are a Republican and not concerned right now, you are stupid," a GOP lawmaker said.
Any Republican condemn Rep. Andy Ogles, who tweeted that Muslims don't belong in American society?
Hey Canada, Sportscheck doesnβt want you to know how much things cost. Looking at their tennis ball selection today, I was astounded that no prices were listed. When I asked, I was informed that it is company policy to not display the price. βHead office tells us to not show the prices.β
WTF??
In contrast to the coverup of the EPSTEIN crimes here in America, there are ongoing investigations in the UK, France, Turkey, Poland, Latvia & Lithuania that is sure to expose his central, filthy role in the largest crimes against humanity case in world history. #AccountabilityIsComing
I'm thrilled to announce that I'll be joining Bluesky as interim CEO. I deeply believe in what this team has built and the open social web they're fighting for. More here: toni.org/2026/03/09/c...

Oh if only there were even one sci-fi movie about why this is a bad idea that people could learn from! π
AI doesn't concern itself with law and can't be hauled in front of a congressional oversight committee and those that can, can just shrug and say... It's AI's fault!
Hunting for Humans. The computer's favorite sport.
I like my privacy. The government needs to stay out of my life. What is their function and purpose after all? To spy and gather information on its citizens? For what purpose is what they won't truthfully explain. Needed for a "police state" perhaps?
Disturbingly simple, they are actively creating a mass national surveillance state...IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!
Identification and eventual detainment for...???
Theyza bout to Cyberdyne Systems the shit out of us, aren't they???
Seriously, why would the Military start tracking American citizens?
Slight correction- What exactly are we paying the Pentagon for to pay these AI companies to do to us?

Artificial Intelligence Strategy for the Department of War outlines the plan to create an "AI first" warfighting force by leveraging asymmetric advantages in compute, data, capital markets, and operational experience, while driving rapid experimentation with leading AI models. This memorandum is the first major effort to execute the Pentagon's vision for embracing a "test, fail, adjust" culture and pursuing innovation at "wartime speed." The memorandum outlines two primary initiatives: execution of seven "Pace- Setting Projects" ("PSPs") that will demonstrate accelerated project execution and AI infrastructure development, and elimination of bureaucratic barriers to deeper AI integration. A companion memorandum from Deputy Secretary of War Feinberg, Transforming Advana to Accelerate Artificial Intelligence and Enhance Auditability, underscores the view that data platform modernization and auditability are not back-office concerns, but rather prerequisites to deploying warfighting AI at scale. This is highlighted by 7 AI-focused Pace-Setting Projects (PSPs) that direct the military on how these new strategies are to be used: Β· Swarm Forge: a mechanism for iteratively discovering, testing, and scaling new ways of fighting with and against AI-enabled capabilities; Β· Agent Network: development of AI-enabled battle management and decision support; . Ender's Foundry: AI-enabled simulation capabilities; Β· Open Arsenal: acceleration of weapons development from intelligence; Β· Project Grant: transformation of deterrence from static postures to dynamic pressure; . GenAI.mil: utilization of AI models by civilian and military personnel at all classification levels; and Β· Enterprise Agents: development of the playbook for rapid development and deployment of AI agents to transform enterprise workflows. Each PSP will be led by a single program leader partnering with a sponsoring organization. Progress will be reported on a monthly basis to the Deputy Secretary of War and
The Pentagon issued an AI memorandum in January outlining everything they wanted a prospective AI bot to do
In includes things such as battle management, decision support, capital market analysis, and what they call a "test, fail, adust" culture

Gee I wonder
This from the same people who whined endlessly about the Patriot Act and having their phones checked during January 6th.
I initially read βlethal autonomyβ as βlegal authorityβ because my brain refused to process the implication that theyβre working onβ¦killbots.
