"Our cognitive disaster is unfolding as if it’s the way of the world, like sun-up over the horizon and the light that blankets the land — inevitable, irreversible, the nature of things. This may be so, given that bowing before the #tech god is inherent in industrial civilization, an expression of the fanatical worship of innovation that goes unquestioned in our society."

The internet made us stupid. #AI promises to make it worse

"Because conservative Christianity is so tightly woven into the state’s political culture, #Musk and his fellow California exiles find themselves confronting a new ideological fusion, a blend of neoliberal economic policies and Christian-nationalist cultural ambition, rooted in the state’s long history of resource extraction and at ease with racism and misogyny."

"A willingness to be conned as long as the illusion flatters our sense of self and our image of the future is a defining characteristic of our time. [...] In a country run by scam artists, all that’s left is the illusion of autonomy and control. Why wouldn’t people gravitate toward a car that similarly promises, however falsely, to make them powerful and free?"

"The danger of #AI is not that it will achieve consciousness and hit the big red button. The end is much less flashy, far more stupid: The resource-intensive advertisement tools of AI will increasingly overtax the grid, leaving us to cook alive in sweltering darkness. The AI hype is part of a larger, false narrative justifying fossil fuel expansion. Let’s not get fooled."

I had a lovely time, #TechFutures. Met some wonderful people, made a room laugh at my AI jokes, and helped a small room of folks deploy a genAI bot into their slack. It's been a pretty good time.

"Where Trump’s first administration was defined by a generally symbiotic but tenuous relationship with #BigTech, the second would be, from the jump, a rancid union of #SiliconValley ideology and fascist impulse. [...]

"In many ways, the shameless about-face comes as the culmination of the #tech world’s open embrace of self-advancing cynicism in recent years."

"The choices #tech titans make in their personal lives [..] show that a segregated, shrouded life is their ideal. But they profit off technologies which, while encouraging our own social withdrawal, are focused on capturing as much information about us as possible."
