The #deathcult is selling the future as #techshit
We have done this before, we take a useful technology, wrap it in a huge financial story. We centralize it, try and monetize it to turn it into a platform. Then we pretend the social consequences were somehow an accident, it is what we are doing with LLMs. We took an interesting piece of software and started selling it as AI, then AI became AGI, became super-intelligence. This smoke and mirrors feeds the path of building gigantic data centres, burning enormous amounts of energy, raising […]https://hamishcampbell.com/the-deathcult-is-selling-the-future-as-techshit/

As the worshipping the #deathcult for the last 50 years becomes harder to hide, the lies are more naked.
The lie of endless growth, trickle-down wealth, technological salvation and individual freedom are running into the material reality they created.
The mess can no no longer be hidden in the abstract.
#Climatechaos. Inequality. War. Social fragmentation. Political decay. #techshit.
The question now is impossible to keep ignoring, not whether the system has problems. It is whether we can see the problems clearly to stop worshipping the mess that created them.
This is where we need social composting. Turn the pile. Expose the assumptions. Keep what is useful. Let the dead ideas rot down.
Then grow something alive.

Man With Sign, September 16, 02026
I wake before the alarm, turn it off before it sounds, and rise quietly to take pre-vigil coffee & toast in the quiet kitchen. Setting out, I reach Roosevelt Circle at 7:30, put up my big sign, couple my loudspeaker to my phone, and lean on the railing, holding up WE MUST BE BETTER ANCESTORS. I think I'm a soloist again, but Craige arrives midway through the hour.
