  25. Cory Doctorow came to town today, on his Enshittification Tour (pluralistic.net/2025/09/30/ens).. Many ideas very eloquently expressed. One takeaway: yes, the tech world is dominated by horrible people like Elon Musk, but the problem is the policies (or lack thereof) that allow the Elon Musks to rise. "There's an Elon Musk-shape hole in our policies".

  30. #Pluralistic : Anyone who trusts an #AI #therapist needs their head examined – Daily links from #CoryDoctorrow

    »These companies lie all the time about everything, but the thing they lie most about is how they handle sensitive data.«
