Karp’s book came out after @bentarnoff.com and I had already started writing ours. Reading it we were like “oh this is Muskism.” The interesting thing, as @lioneltrolling.bsky.social pointed out, is that it was written with the assumption of an incoming Harris administration.
From Gaza to now Iran and Lebanon, Israel is expanding its testing ground for AI-enabled military technology in terrifying ways.

For @thedriftmag.com I wrote about social control, digital infrastructure, and what passes for a public sphere in our society www.thedriftmag.com/directing-th...

@edwardongwesojr.com and @jathansadowski.com had great discussion semi related to this on the most receNT TMK. All the AI company “solutions” are bullshit.
A detailed, line-by-line critique of OpenAI’s objectives is laid out by @edwardongwesojr.com and @jathansadowski.com in this week’s episode of @thismachinekills.bsky.social 3/
Q: Are there certain kinds of civilians targets like schools or hospitals that are off limits?
TRUMP: I don't want to tell you that. We have a plan where every bridge and power plant in Iran will be decimated by 12 o'clock tomorrow night
inspired by a recent visit to SF and a Matthew Yglesias essay I recently read about how SF isn't a megacity because of housing policy, I wrote about why that's a very superficial analysis at best!

The main goal of Silicon Valley appears to be finding an ethical way to have a slave
inspired through imbibition of the ruthless tech criticism of @jathansadowski.com and @edwardongwesojr.com
The Hollywood executive dream that AI will revolutionize how movies are made or that they can lean on user generated AI slop to drive costs down is not going to work and is already a disaster

How bad is it? Well. Qatar Energy just announced they may have to declare Force Majeure on long-term contracts **FOR UP TO FIVE YEARS**.

The author reminds us we should not celebrate the death of the metaverse, but learn from it. I share the feeling, but knowing that projects like this one sometimes don't end up poisoning our day-by-day lives feels a little bit good to me.
“The free market that Silicon Valley champions depends…on the least free capital in the world. Kingdoms & gangs, bound in a compact of association, dividing the plunder according to an agreed convention, infesting the earth until nothing is left (or until someone abandons the compact).”
Read @edwardongwesojr.com on “the attempt to shift Pax Americana’s oil diplomacy to Pax Silica’s silicon statecraft—from hydrocarbons & Treasuries to GPUs & data centers & AI models & the kill chains they power” www.thetechbubble.info/p/how-much-a...

Very little if anything seems to have changed on the ground. ICE is still out there terrorizing neighborhoods and trying to disappear neighbors. None of us on the ground are buying this bullshit. We will keep organizing and fighting.
last week, after I asked them for some answers about the shift toward weird, AI-generated posts and leaderships' 180° turn on sex work, ManyVids promised clarity was coming.
this is what that clarity looked like: www.404media.co/manyvids-ai-...
it's hard to explain how horrible and dangerous this app and the people who made it are but I tried: www.404media.co/app-for-quit...
the reason the elite are so desperate to vilify hard-working people coming to this country to build a better life for their families, unleashing wave after wave of gutter racism in the process, is to distract from the fact that their incestuous degeneracy causes most of our actual problems
i've seen enough: greg bovino is a bitch.
This Thursday 1/22 at 3pm ET, join us as @alondra.bsky.social, @edwardongwesojr.com, @telliotter.bsky.social, & D&S Policy Director Brian J. Chen discuss the reality of the administration’s AI agenda. datasociety.net/events/one-y...
