After white supremacist Stefan Molyneux was banned from YouTube in 2020, he moved to the extremely right video platform Rumble.

Rumble is the "YouTube for Nazis". The company behind it, the Rum Group, is aligned with Trump.

And now Anthropic made a nearly 14 billion USD deal with them.

Perplexity similarly made a deal with Trump's "Truth" Social.

Every "AI" company is directly collaborating with Nazis. And every employer in my industry is changing their entire business model to become "AI-first" while you have to argue with clueless, ignorant centrists about the alleged usefulness of "AI". It's so fucking tiring.

You cannot use LLMs without empowering Nazis. It's obvious that the CEOs of said employers don't care, but it would be great if at least the workers didn't brush this fact aside.

And the Grenfell disaster still has the power to shock:

The cladding company Arconic paid more to shareholders for the financial damage caused by their role in the fire than they paid to the actual victims....

Given that the insurers paid out most of the money, it makes it all the clearer that investors' economic welfare is regarded as more costly than the loss of real lives.

This is capitalism at its sociopathic worse!
