I've said this before: Those dickhead business types in "Resident Evil", who destroy the world through greed & negligence & then just keep having board meetings in their bunkers & discuss their next insane projects?
Yeah, real-life billionaires are exactly like that, except way stupider. You can't even shame them by pointing it out - they think it's cool & wish they were sunglasses-inside-guy at the head of the table.

AI companies will fail. We can salvage something from the wreckage
AI is asbestos in the walls of our tech society, stuffed there by monopolists run amok. A serious fight against it must strike at its rootsCory Doctorow (The Guardian)
This is an essential read from @pluralistic – well worth your time to understand the points he’s making fully as he’s spot on and the excellent analogies will make it easier for you to discuss the topic with others.

Folks, our very own @gerrymcgovern has his new book, 99th Day: A Warning About Technology, coming out next Monday.

“99th Day is essential reading for anyone who cares about our planet. Prepare to be disturbed, enlightened and inspired.” – Justine McCarthy, The Irish Times
And, if you’re in Ireland, Gerry has a book tour in February. If I’m in the country, I’ll be at the Dublin event on the 9th. Hope to see some of you there :)

I am fascinated by this new strategy where multiple AI company CEOs have been going on tears tours this year so far complaining about how anti AI sentiment has hurt their businesses 😭

Amazing. W (I kid you not): A bunch of VC-funded European Big Tech assholes attempting to rewrite history by erasing the federated European alternatives that already exist to create their own centralised, surveillance-ridden X clone.
Same shit, different flag.
And I’m sure the usual fools will flock to it the moment it’s ready.
Fuck these people.

#UK's Joint Intelligence Committee report on "Global biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse and National Security"
A nightmare described in plain language everyone can understand.
Conclusion? We're screwed for good. (And while that happens, the elites will keep capturing resources like they always do).
What is not mentioned explicitly is that #capitalism has led humanity to its destruction and is incapable of fixing the problems it created.
Corollary: Carthago delenda est.
