My broker called me this morning to suggest I invest early in MilTech stock. He says I could make a killing if the First Corporate War breaks out.
What do you guys think? 🤔
EDIT: On a serious note, the Trump administration has been making plans to enmesh the AI systems of his corporate donors (including avowed fascist and anti-humanist Peter Thiel) into all levels of government.
Trump recently commissioned new AI-driven database to [track all persons on US territory](https://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/amp/shows/top-stories/blog/rcna210017). Part of the plan involves plugging untested and unvetted LLMs into every government agency.
In fact, part of the code base for this government-by-AI was [accidentally leaked into GitHub](https://www.theregister.com/2025/06/10/trump_admin_leak_government_ai_plans/). The original repository was deleted by the General Services Administration when journalists started asking questions.
“Cyberpunk is now” was never so scary.
Interesting
What flag is that in the beginning?
Why are they swearing in executives and not the people who actually do the work?
Are we going to end up with Skynet or the Blackwall from these blokes?
We are so Fucked!
This is just big tech stealing money from the state. A lot of taxpayer funds are going to go to these guys, and not a lot will be gained.
Did they run the brown guy past Hegseth?
So the military is going to have so much ai integration it will make it easy for the robots to take over and at this point would anyone care? I mean does the matrix really sound that bad at this point? I think being a battery stuck in the 90s doesn’t sound that nightmarish anymore 🤷♀️
