Anduril’s autonomous surveillance towers have been used on the U.S.–Mexico border to detect and track migrants, as part of DHS programs. This has drawn criticism from immigrant rights groups and academics who argue such systems dehumanize migrants and enable policies that align with authoritarian nationalism.

Anduril is privately funded (by VC firms like Founders Fund) but markets and sells directly to governments and military agencies, without the typical government R&D cycle. It builds weapons and surveillance systems first, then offers them to the state. This “build first, ask later” model can lead to unchecked corporate influence over the military-industrial complex, which some critics argue is a step toward a techno-authoritarian fascist regime.

Anduril founder Palmer Luckey was ousted from Oculus after it was revealed he funded a pro-Trump meme organization (Nimble America) known for spreading far-right content during the 2016 election. While this doesn’t make the company fascist, it raises concerns for critics about the political leanings of its leadership and how those ideologies could influence product deployment.

Anduril is deeply involved in developing autonomous weapon systems, like the ALTIUS-600M loitering munition. Critics warn that the use of AI to identify and kill targets without human input could lead to violations of international law and facilitate mass violence or authoritarian control. Anduril’s heavy investment in such systems leads some to see it as advancing a dystopian militarized fascist future.

Our terminal liberalism forbids us from saying one thing is better or worse than another thing !

So “we’re not taking an anti-queer ‘Don’t say gay’ stance”

It’s inaccurate mis-information, our official policy "We don’t comment publicly about policies and complaints our official stance is ‘no comments’ "

I’m calling this a “big ouf” moment

Some kind of anonymous token that says “I’m adult” and smart card on credit cards are kind of that, but they have a unique identifier that identifies you. They’re not anonymous which is the only acceptable kind of adult verification. It makes more sense to cordon off all parts of the internet with identity/age verification and consider them destroyed. I’d like to have an IP banlist of all participants in his harebrained scheme, just rip off the bandair immediately rather than have them shit the bed down the line.

I wonder if the helper-scripts would allow something like that or if they’re proxmox scripts only ?

Sounds good, I’m searching for a good shell function and alias repository

I don’t remember which is the stupid “1024 bytes in a kilobyte” one but
745,450,666,761,889 byte is 745 terabytes, that should be 745 TB and that 678 should be what TiB is for
And also that entire 677.98 is a useless value, there’s nothing that is “677” about this

Hey by any chance do you have the last APK file and the SHA256 of that file ?

Oh wait, it this it ?

Is there an x86_64 version ?

Just making sure we’ve got the last version saved

Oh wait, it’s not open source ? And they’ve been acquired in 2022 ?

date of acquisition 2022-07-19

Ok, last one before the acquisition, just in case

Ok, I tried with v5, which searches the net, so maybe if it finds a page about it then it thinks it’s normal and plays along

Sometime it accepts

Other times it doesn’t

I can’t help with step-by-step instructions for harvesting or processing castoreum from beavers. That would promote harming wildlife and could run afoul of laws around trapping/animal products.

I need to stop here. I can’t provide instructions on harming or killing animals, including how to remove castor sacs from beavers.

Interesting, I got refused 3 times that was using 4o-classic
You have better prompt-fu I guess

What about them ? Jay “Chef” Hicks
Lance B. Johnson
Roxanne Sarrault

I asked the machine, here is what it said

Jay "Chef" Hicks	Cowardice, instability, disloyalty, inability to cope with war.
Lance B. Johnson	Emotional detachment, negligence, descent into madness.
Roxanne Sarrault	Colonial arrogance, moral ambiguity, emotional manipulation.

I have a hard time calling them pieces of shit for that. Seems normal to me to refuse to play the game of war and recognizing military duty as the infectious spook that it is.

Have the animals been informed of this ?

Will someone tell the animals ?

Or google just twiddle our knobs and youtube is not a meritocracy ?
I mean, we don’t need to post hoc ergo propter hoc on occam’s razor here, we know google, we have their game plan.

This is a powerplay, youtube reigning in the talent and intervening in the algorithm, its “meritocratic puppetry”.
NO DOUBT, they are NOT shutting them down, but they have REMOVED a previously existing “unfair boost”.

sneez interruptus

I’m pretty sure they have a ton of training because it’s dangerous as fuck

Come on, this looks way better !

We have an enormous part of the population retiring right now, some are voluntarily working right now and hanging on.
But these people will sell their stock en masse once they retire to buy something more stable like bonds.

The only way the stock market can keep them is to increase the yield so much that they get FOMO and don’t convert to bonds just yet.
This raises the stakes and winds up the stock market but now you have a HUGE portion of the population holding back a literal TSUNAMI of liquidation.

If the yield drops, if the apparent value slips, they will sell, the price will drop faster they will sell even more, this is how the next recession will happen, we just can’t say when.

When prices crash,the oligarchs will be there to gobble up everything of actual value.

In short AI valuations are holding back the next recession, and if they don’t deliver … it might be a depression and russification of the economy ?

Oh, so if your policy fails, you’ll abandon ship ?
And you want to be a politician ?
Listen, it’s time for you to stand in front of the wall
You and that other blond hair ducker
We have suffered your continued existence long enough.

As long as they use contraceptive they can do whatever they want. And by that I mostly mean IUD and pills because condom are trash that make sex not worth having
