The Twitter article, if anyone wants to read some totally-not-AI-written slop from a totally real person who totally existed before August 2026.

    Look at the rambling essay:

    And who wrote it:

    Daniel Penny (@12Palehorse) , X

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Jordan_Neely

    On May 1, 2023, in New York City, Jordan Neely, a 30-year-old Black[3][4][5] homeless man, was killed after being put in a chokehold by Daniel Penny, a 24-year-old White United States Marine Corps veteran while riding the New York City Subway. Neely boarded the car Penny was riding and began threatening passengers. After the train left the station, as Neely was threatening passengers, Penny approached Neely from behind to apply the chokehold, and maintained it in a sitting position until Neely went limp a few minutes after the train had reached the next stop.

    Penny joined U.S. president-elect Donald Trump and vice president-elect JD Vance at the 2024 Army–Navy American football game as a “guest of honor” shortly after his acquittal.[62] A few months later, Penny was hired by a prominent Silicon Valley venture capital firm, Andreessen Horowitz, as a “deal partner” in the division of the firm specializing in “aerospace, defense, public safety, education, housing, supply chain, industrials, and manufacturing.”[61] According to The New York Times, firm outsiders and limited partners expressed private concerns about Penny’s hiring, citing his lack of investment experience and the political controversy surrounding his trial. An internal memo obtained by the newspaper defended his hiring, saying that Penny’s military experience would help build relationships with “active-duty military, veterans, chiefs of police, sheriffs” deals with in its public safety and defense businesses.

    You cannot make this shit up.

    What’s that logic? More supply in the work force won’t magically create demand for more blue collar work. If anything it will just lower the paychecks of blue collar workers.

    This can’t be new, the building trades have massively benefited from the data center build-out since it’s one of the only growth industries. Sure, the demand for electricians, welders, and pipefitters disappears once the data center is built, but just build more!

    Why would robots in factories give humans factory jobs again? Why wouldn’t robots just do those other jobs too?

    I’m so tired…
