America’s Peace Corps Announces ‘Tech Corps’ Volunteers t…

Over 240,000 Americans volunteered for Peace Corps projects in 142 countries since the program began more than half a century ago. But now the agency is launching a new initiative — called Tech Corps. “It’s the Peace Corps, but make it AI,” explains Engadge…

According to the press release, volunteers will be placed in Peace Corps countries that are part of the American AI Exports Program, which was created last year from an executive order from President Trump as a way to bolster the US' grip on the AI market abroad. Just the 1st step to wrecking another good thing. Sounds like marketing and sales for US mega corps. In a few years they will get commissions for sales; under another term probably.

The "Peace Core" is a trumpistsni government agency, and the trumpistan is owned by the tech bros, so you tell me. At least this time around it will be pure, unadulterated corruption and no "dei" of any kind…. Looks like a gift, but enables surveillance, dependence and will probably have some nice overrides for when home calls. The Trump administration's cuts to USAID had an immediate and deadly impact in war-ravaged Sudan https://www.washingtonpost.com…

[theatlantic.com] Right they took away life saving medicine, birth control, educational materials and food. but they're replacing it with some handy tools really useful for government oppression. we did it because we didn't want the communists to have a reputation of being nicer than us,we did it because we didn't want these countries owing the communists favors.we did it because we can ask them for a favor and they won't say "why should we help you what have you ever done for us?"we did it because every dollar spent in that way saves $2 on bullets down the road.we did it because its to our benefit to keep these countries from deteriorating which will eventually blow back on us.we did it because we Yeah, and communists haven't been on the march since 1991, if not earlier.

Beijing's belt/road initiative is just a neocolonial project for the benefit of Beijing. There were a lot of policies that needed to be revised after 1992, but weren't. Donald Trump is going to give $10 billion to himself via the board-of-peace slush fund. DHS is going to spend $40 billion dollars turning warehouses into concentration camps. The DoD budget has increased so much this year, they don't know where they'll spend it all.

Don't pretend this is about money; USAID has proven to be an actually useful investment for decades. A summary: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse… [linkedin.com] Twenty million American CITIZENS live in poverty; maybe they should get 1st-focus from the government they defend and finance. Perhaps then the focus should be on removing the corruption that eats the money that could help them? Here's a piece from yesterday: the sons of the commerce secretary just stole a hefty wad of cash using insider info from daddy, are you complaining?

Or perhaps you think they'll be donating it to the poor Americans? Mind you, this is the latest and hardly the biggest piece of corruption. What about trump suing his own administration for billions, you think he's doing it for t Yep. It's not enough to have mass unemployment and environmental destruction in developed countries, the mega corporations want people to have nowhere to go to rebuild their lives without AI The U.S.

under this administration can send foreign countries AI but not AID like food and medicine – check. The U.S. under this administration can send foreign countries AI but not AID like food and medicine – check. Well, you see, DOGE had already claimed that 33% reduction on their wall of receipts… Why not call it the AI Corps, or even the Fraud Corps? If you call it the latter maybe you can include cryptocurrencies in their mission?

Then, build trust in the law: When people (*cough* Republicans *cough*) don't trust their leaders, infrastructure fails and a country dies. The usual reason for losing trust in leaders is tribalism: Those leaders enforce extremism (based on religion, race or language) and nepotism: It takes hundreds of years to build a concept of 'common good' in towns and countries. Also, it takes prosperity to build 'common good': Those countries (or states) without crops and minerals to sell, will always be extremist and unstable.

You're funny. The trumpistani government has been dismantling trust in law since it first got in power in 2016. This time around "the law" is the executive order, and when that is at times struck down, it is followed by a series of tantrumps about "activist judges" and whatnot and ridiculous threats, as in "oh, my tariffs are illegal? How about I upgrade them". Ought to be one of these to help keep AI TF out of any country that's thinking of its future.

By "AI" they mean "purchase American products and become dependent on American products." The AI bubble is wrecking the US tech industry (among other things, like the economy), and the best hope of remaining in business is to trash the rest of the world as well. As a side benefit, loot the rest of the world by selling them AI server farms. There may be more comments in this discussion.
