  1. Great analogy in this post by Matt Stoller about the cost of algorithmic #socialmedia feeds:

    [costs] are borne by users and communities, in the form of bullying, sex trafficking, addiction, polarization, shorter attention spans, et al. It’s like pollution, where a company pours chemicals into a river, which doesn’t cost the company anything but does poison entire communities downstream.

  6. ‘Intellectual property law does not, in truth, exist to defend natural rights that individuals hold over their works. This isn’t how IP law came to be, when it was first developed as an extension of guild regulation in eighteenth-century England. Nor is it how it is legally justified in the United States, whose Constitution’s first article grants to Congress the power to make laws “to promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries.” As the first subclause makes clear, the purpose of copyrights and patents is to incentivize authors and inventors by promising them a set of time-limited rights, akin to a temporary monopoly, over the dissemination of their works.’ bostonreview.net/articles/to-w

    Or #ai is artificial information processing, generating slop in a feedback loop, that will end corporate sovereignty. As fewer and fewer profit from ownership, ownership in its ‘deathless’ system of annihilating mimicry has given us a virus that it has no antidote for?

  11. "... framing the debate is so important. We have to take back terms like "productivity," so it means "making things that we need more of," not "making more things." Governments can use taxation, procurement and regulation to coerce, convince, or woo private firms into producing these things – and governments can produce them directly." -Cory Doctorow

  16. #Democracy is incompatible with unrestrained #capitalism. #Monopolies powered the #Nazi war machine 85 years ago.

    General public knows that #CorporatePower is a big, rising, and terrifying problem. But regulators don't seem to know what corporate power is.

    On #antitrust, the #EU buckled to #US under both #GeorgeBush (#Microsoft breakup) and #GeorgeWBush (#GE #Honeywell merger).

    Now a new revolt against monopolization is brewing in #Europe.

  19. The #Enshittification of the American Hamburger
    China blocked Argentinian beef for chloramphenicol, Europe blocked Brazilian beef for food safety reasons, and now Trump is importing it all to the US. But don't expect prices to fall much, the monopoly distributers will pocket the savings.

  24. The idea that the gross over investment in technology is the solution to all our problems, is delusional on the grandest scale of delusions!

    Also used as an argument to secure its boom is that new technology like Ai and AGi is inevitable and necessary to obtain a competitive advantage.

    What is not much advertised, discussed, challenged and acted on are the current social, environmental, political and economic costs of the deregulated markets responsible for pushing the MAD investments of and in the technology of antitrust monopolies. They continue to undermine the benefits that result from democratic mediation, rights of diverse interests, peace, security, wellbeing and the flourishing that you get with ending the growth in inequality and injustice that their corporate sovereignty profits from! #Philosophy #Technology #ai #AGi #deregulation #Markets #MAD #antitrust #monopolies #corporatesovereignty #Delusions

    ‘If you are exploring a specific philosophical paper, book, or argument that ties Hume directly to these geopolitical outcomes, let me know! We can dive deeper into the specific dialectic principles or texts you are examining.’

    but #Ai whether generative or not, is not a ‘me’. Me is self-conscious and #LLMs are not even a framework that can push a template of consciousness. Automated information ground on #IP scraping is just designed to mimic intelligence to control the expropriation of capital!
