  • 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.













  • Ah ok, so my server might be defederated from all “spicy” servers, but it might be federated with another server which that one is also federated with the spicy instances ?

    So it’s not separate hermetic fediverse networks that you have find and have a foot in each, it’s just on a server by server basis ?

    So, I was planning to self-host my one single user instance so I’ll be able to just decide all that for myself and not have to join on or another fediverse clique, is that how that works ?



  • Telling moi to shut up is most illadvised friend, you best become more polite or you will remember the taste of soap in your mouth for a long time.

    I am sorry you were raised on anti-human depraved morality that believe sight of the human body is indecent and to touch yourself with lust is sinful. But most healthy people in the world have an healthy relationship with pornography and do not to see children being butchered to squirt their jollies.

    I agree most porn in existence is boorish slopsploitation that make me more flaccid than a worm. I yearn to see the copulating artists filming themselves as the centerpiece or erotic creation completely abstracted from the corrupt, mundance and pedestrian influence money and other forms of the grotesque consoomtion machine.


  • So there’s a different lemmyverse with all the porn on it ? Does it have a name ? Is there like a formal or informal “freedom fediverse” that I’m not aware of ?

    I don’t mind seeing some shit, I resent being coddled far more than the occasional boob or nastiness of the world

    Also, isn’t defederation kind of an extreme response ? Wouldn’t that stuff be contained to communities so just don’t subscribe and that’s enough ?

    I mean, I rather hang out with the cool kids who smoke weed and listen to music that sounds like lawn mower
