Hayek’s Road to Serfdom at 80: what critics get wrong about the Austrian economist Championed by Thatcher, Reagan and Elon Musk, there’s a marked tendency to reduce Hayek to less than the sum of his parts.

One of my least favorite ironies is that the ideology that Friedrich Hayek's precautionary The Road to Serf spawned is indeed proving to be the road to serfdom. #technofeudalism #plutocracy

Though it might be unfair to lay all the blame on him. theconversation.com/hayeks-road-...

I mean, I can think of quite a few others: the rise of AI and the epistemological crisis it engenders, the rise of Fascism, Capitalism morphing into #Technofeudalism, the biodiversity crisis, the plastic crisis, and of course the climate crisis.

Central banks printed ~$35 trillion after 2008.

#BigTech didn’t blow it on factories, they built cloud empires. We paid for the servers with public money. Then we became the serfs: feeding them our data, attention & labor.

Welcome to technofeudalism. #Technofeudalism

The CIA has bombed developing countries over a century to stop communism.

We should do the same thing to AI datacenters to stop #technofeudalism.
