@GossiTheDog So, Palantir asked what wanted to be built and the answer was death machines and human subjugation technologies and they think this is something that they should advertise to potential employees?!?
Has the whole world gone fucking crazy?
“I’m delighted to announce #PeterThiel is joining #YC as one of the (now 10!) part-time partners.
In addition to founding #PayPal and #Palantir and being the first investor in #Facebook, Peter has been involved with many of the most important #technology companies of the last 15 years, both personally and through #FoundersFund, and the founders of those companies will generally tell you he has been their best source of #strategic #advice.” — Sam Altman, 2015.
Compare the sign on blog post (Altman) to the tweet (pg as shown).
When you take capital from #Thiel, then only realise a decade later it wasn’t a good idea. At the time when this was announced I thought, “Oh shit #PG, don’t do it”. Then history.
It’s the lure of capital. You get covered in the deeds of these shitty founders (Thiel) and you have to back track, knowing it was blood money.

#Arizona's Universities are Instruments of War
The United States provides more than 70% of the funds and weapons used for #WarCrimes and #genocide in #Palestine. Arizona universities are a backbone of the war industry.
by Brenda Norrell, Censored News, Oct. 31, 2024
TUCSON, Arizona -- "When Arizona's largest universities slammed down on Palestine supporters, it was obvious they were hiding something. What they were hiding was the fact that they are thriving on war dollars.
"The most obvious is Raytheon Missiles located at the #UniversityOfArizona's Tech Park in Tucson. The less obvious are the millions in grants and contracts that both the University of Arizona and #ArizonaStateUniversity receive for technology, including cyber technology, artificial intelligence and robotics.
"While slamming down on #Palestinian support -- and shooting them with #RubberBullets in #Tucson and denying some graduation at #ASU in the #PhoenixValley -- both universities were heading up a national coalition of U.S. universities to support Israel, after the genocide was underway.
"Arizona State University in #Tempe, in the Phoenix Valley, has gone to the extreme to silence voices in support of Palestine. Besides forbidding pro-Palestine rallies, its harsh crackdown on encampments has resulted in 62 Palestine supporters now facing charges."

Norwegian footballer Ole Saeter refused a transfer deal to Maccabi Haifa, in Israel, saying he doesn't want to accept 'blood money' and his morals will not allow him to represent the club.
The 28-year-old says if he had accepted the deal it would have made him financially independent.

Experts alarmed over AI in military as Gaza turns into “testing ground” for US-made war robots
Research identifies numerous risks as defense contractors develop new “killer robots.”
Here’s part six (SIX!) of the “Laid off in 2024” series, where I talk about signing my separation agreement, stretching your money after a #layoff, and share a possibly controversial idea: “A severance package is blood money.”
@ArrestJK Seems the tobacco bs has already got them way offside with almost everyone including their own supporters and that's before they have even been sworn in as govt.
That's what happens when you accept #BloodMoney to help fund your #NZPol campaign.

“recruiting has turned from talent identification and development into an exercise in budget, sales and marketing.
