NNU CNA Kaiser nurses at 22 hospitals in Northern California rallied at the hospitals and demanded a halt to the introduction of AI which they say is harming patient care and is not helping with the staffing shortage. Kaiser which has over $60-billion in reserve is using chatbots to get rid of mental health clinicians and also laying off nurses.They also demanded that the fascist tech company Palantir be kicked out of the hospitals and said that the company was also involved in the fascist terror attacks on immigrant workers through ICE.

The Bullet:
Artificial Intelligence – part 4: The Hype, the Dangers, and the Resistance
By Martin Hart-Landsberg

This is the fourth and final post in a multipart series aimed at cutting through the fog of AI hype in order to help us understand some of the dangers we face from AI use and highlight hopeful avenues of effective resistance. Part 1 provides an overview of my argument. Part 2 debunks the hype surrounding the multimodal generative AI systems produced by the leading AI companies. Part 3 critically examines the latest AI-powered technology, AI agents. This post highlights some current efforts to employ these AI tools in both private and public settings as well as possibilities for building a labour-community movement of resistance to the AI corporate offensive.

The divestment drive that could shake Israel’s economic foundations

Another form of economic pressure is mounting under the radar: the selling of Israeli government bonds. At best, instances of divestment receive a brief mention on the inside pages of the financial press. Yet while its scope remains limited, the scaling up of this campaign has the potential to significantly harm the Israeli economy.

To fund perpetual war, Israel has grown ever more reliant on issuing bonds. Relinquishing these holdings, often invested passively, disrupts that equation.

A pro-Israel messaging website badged with the name of a thinktank that does not exist has published more than half a million words in nine days, built on a commercial platform that promises to optimize content so that AI chatbots will cite it.

The site gives Israel’s position on subjects including the torture of Palestinian prisoners, Israeli war crimes and whether Israel has deliberately starved Palestinians in Gaza, all presented as neutral research.

The New York media production company Piro Inc filed the site with the US justice department this month under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (Fara), a 1938 law that requires anyone working for a foreign government to formally disclose it, as material it distributes for the Israeli government.

In effort to prime chatbots to make pro-Israel arguments the site published 124 reports, over 560,000 words in nine days, Guardian analysis shows

As the Board of Peace Cosplays Diplomacy, Israel Once Again Ramps Up Killing in Gaza

The surge in Israeli attacks came in the wake of a deal with Hamas, first announced by Trump on Thursday, on a roadmap for implementing the next phases of the Gaza “ceasefire.” Shortly after Trump’s announcement, mediator countries said Hamas had, “for the first time,” formally committed to “an actionable plan for relinquishing all its weapons.”

After Hamas agreed to a roadmap for implementing the next phases of the Gaza “ceasefire,” Israel escalated its assault on Gaza and the Board of Peace backtracked.

Canadian labour leaders are applauding the federal government’s Tuesday announcement of counter-tariffs on U.S. goods and extended Employment Insurance (EI) after trade negotiations broke down between Ottawa and Washington. However, they say even more must be done.

Trade negotiations between Canada and the U.S. broke down late Friday night. In a statement, Prime Minister Mark Carney said Canada chose to suspend negotiations because the U.S. had “asked too much and offered too little.”

Major Canadian labour leaders were quick to commend this decision, saying that no deal was better than a bad one. Lana Payne, national president of Canada’s largest private sector union, Unifor, said it had become clear that the list of concession demands were untenable.

Counter-tariffs and greater EI supports are a start, but workers need something more comprehensive.

How Europe’s expanding border machinery unites reactionaries and reproduces colonialism

After NATO’s 2011 intervention in Libya left behind a power vacuum and civil war, European interests developed close relationships with Libyan militias to secure their access to oil; relationships evolved into instrumentalising militias to intercept people using Libya as a transit point during migration to Europe. Europe helped create the conditions for a circular economy of destruction where militias profit simultaneously from the smuggling and trafficking, detention and enslavement, and interception of people seeking safety. The EU claims that the persistence of crossings and deaths at sea is evidence that this system needs further investment, rather than evidence of its failure.

Standing up to Trump: More on the case for an export tax on oil and gas to the US

It has been heartening to witness the degree of national unity as Canadians steel themselves for the current trade war and insist that our governments stand up to Trump. According to many reports, Canada was dangerously close to signing a terrible deal with yet more concessions. But thankfully, at the 11th hour, the US demanded too much and Prime Minister Carney pulled the plug. The federal government has now announced counter-tariffs that will kick in after Labour Day, along with initial supports for affected workers and businesses. But in all likelihood, more will be needed.
