I was thinking: the US AI industry (aka USAI-Inc) is like a new Empire colonisation. Like the East India Company. Or Belt & Road. Or others. Now its USAI. Many territories and sectors are being extorted and occupied (esp UK & UKHE). Then yesterday I saw that Berkman Klein had the same thought. They even called it a Raj. I felt vindicated, that I am not alone in what I think.

The AI Raj

Faculty Associate Allison Stanger argues that technology firms (particularly AI companies) are demonstrating an accelerated replication of past colonization.

This was an extraordinarily #violent process, involving #colonization, #dispossession, mass #enslavement, & #genocide.

This is huge. It's a guideline for all who stand against #genocide and #colonization.

"Israeli embassy staff in #Greece have been evacuated from their homes in Athens. The decision follows protests and rising anger over Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

A senior Israeli security official confirmed the evacuation to Israel Hayom. The official cited “the situation in Greece” as the reason.

Public outrage is growing. Greek citizens are calling for an end to Israel’s genocide against the Palestinian people.

A major protest movement, March to #Gaza, declared August 10 a national day of action. Demonstrations will take place across Greek islands and tourist hotspots.

In a statement, March to Gaza said:

“The Greek people will not remain silent in the face of genocide committed by #Israel with the support of the West and the Greek government.”

The movement urged citizens to turn islands, beaches, mountain peaks, and shelters into spaces of #solidarity."

I don't talk much about the damage the #Colonization of North America and the subsequent #Independence of the #UnitedStates has done to my personal family. And I probably never will, but it has been substantial, even to this very day.

Certainly I confront what the land and resources theft, what the genocide and enslavement of millions of people has done to my people more than my mother or grandmother, who were much more shell shocked than I am.

This is what colonisation look like;

"Rafah has also been the site of several documented massacres, including the first responders massacre in the Tal al-Sultan neighborhood in late March, when the Israeli army opened fire on and executed 15 paramedics and rescue workers from the Palestinian Red Crescent Society and the Gaza Civil Defense."
