I ranted about the apple design, but f*ck it. The bigger picture is more relevant, it doesn't matter that much how much liquid glass an apple UI has, when its controlled by palantir and grounded in techno-fascism for concentrating more power in few and observing the rest.
A great and lengthy Essay by "the stories we tell".

Sure I make use of tech sometimes. But I think it's of utmost importance that it be laughed at loudly and frequently.
Wall Street Journal: OpenAI and Microsoft Tensions Are Reaching a Boiling Point. “OpenAI wants to loosen Microsoft’s grip on its AI products and computing resources, and secure the tech giant’s blessing for its conversion into a for-profit company. Microsoft’s approval of the conversion is key to OpenAI’s ability to raise more money and go public. But the negotiations have been so […]

The End Game: From Free Market...
…The biggest hurdle for the industry has always been legislative: securing #regulations that confer legitimacy without adding onerous requirements. And for that, executives & lobbyists had to turn their full attention to #Congress.
Ahead of the 2024 election cycle, a network of #SiliconValley #crypto executives & political strategists set their sights on DC. They formed a number of crypto-focused super PACs which spent a total of >$130M to #influence tight congressional races nationally.

"I think part of the problem is they've got so much money, and it's still not enough. They need something more than just the money. So they want the power. And this is a very old problem: When you have the money, you want the power. When you have the power, you want the money. When you have both, you want to live forever. And that's very much where many of them are as well, with this transhumanism idea, this idea of eternal life that some of them are starting to talk about."
"So I think we're learning a big lesson about what happens when certain people have too much money. And I think that they have their eyes on eroding our democracy and weakening it and creating this alternative reality that won't work out. They haven't thought this through."
