In case you missed it, Karen Hao spoke with Naomi Klein earlier this month at UBC. An excellent talk with two of the best.

Last night we went to the Chan Centre for a sold-out conversation between @naomiaklein.bsky.social and @karenhao.bsky.social about the Empire of AI (also the name of Karen’s book). I arrived a big fan of Naomi, and left a new fan of Karen. #EmpireofAI #ClimateJustice @ccj-ubc.bsky.social

Silicon Valley isn’t building “friendly AI” — it’s running a neo‑colonial empire: harvesting data, exploiting Global South labor, burning energy, and worshipping cult‑like CEOs. AI is not magic, it’s capitalism 2.0.

#EmpireofAI van @karenhao.bsky.social aan het lezen.
Ze beschrijft eigenlijk in één alinea waarin AI hier niet 'zomaar' even op te trainen is.
Ga het boek met plezier uitlezen.

Screenshot of the tech noir-ish style audio book cover for Empire of AI - Inside the reckless rave for total domination, by Karen Hao
I’m in awe of @karenhao.bsky.social and their book #EmpireofAI. (The audio version is great). It does an incredible dive into the mindsets driving AI scale culture, data colonialism & all the ills, PLUS it tells the story of the tech in such an accessible way. Get it from an ethical bookshop now!

Possibly, but have you read @karenhao.bsky.social #EmpireofAI? She reveals that power hungry AI data centers are what is increasing the common person's energy bills. And in South Georgia, Musk's data center is also poisoning resident's air. Unregulated AI is taking air, water, health.

At the heart of every empire is an ideology.
For OpenAI, it’s AGI “to benefit all of humanity.”
But journalist @karendhao argues AGI is no longer science — it’s religion. And OpenAI? The Vatican.

"[In #EmpireOfAI] @karenhao.bsky.social has written a superb work of deep reporting and reflection. By centring the story on #OpenAI, she offers a systematic corrective to the sense of so-called 'Artificial Intelligence' that you get from the breathless fluff and propaganda of our mediasphere."

Kobi Leins notes that the book reports that removing explicit material from the training data led to a drop in performance; that this revealed ethical and bias problems with the data chosen for training @karenhao.bsky.social #EmpireofAI

Following on from the issue of gender ; the staff who prepare the data on which AI is trained are treated to standards far below human rights expectations. This crosses the global south @karenhao.bsky.social #EmpireofAI

Reflecting on the impact of gender; @karenhao.bsky.social points out the many technologies don’t work for women ; and AI businesses have fired teams of women brought in to help reduce bias. #EmpireofAI
