    "The way I see it, there's 2 ways this can go. Being serfs in a "Technological Republic" or revolution. Neither option is fun, but 1 enslaves future generations while the other has potential upside. Whatdayahave?"

  2. In #technofeudalism and #antihumanism:

    The narrative of #AI's “inevitability” is a tactic used by tech companies to discourage resistance and encourage compliance.

    […] When tech boosters want to demonise resistance, they invoke the luddites. By their telling, the luddites were primitive idiots, who smashed machines they were too stupid to understand. History though, tells a different story. As recounted by Brian Merchant’s sublime work Blood in the Machine, luddites were skilled artisans, fighting for their way of life against the “satanic mills” – textile sweatshops powered by child semi-slaves. Forbidden from unionising, luddites smashed machines as a protest tactic. And they did not lose to the inevitable march of progress. They lost to physical force. The government called in troops, and the luddites were either executed or shipped to penal colonies in Australia.

    (12/n)

    ...have caught too few of these modern-day tyrants👈: #Raisi, #DaSilva, #Yoon + #Maduro.

    However, much more serious than these individuals is the global degeneration of #democracies into #plutocracies and the almost enslaving trend of #Technofeudalism*..

  8. Some months ago I decided that migrating my systems from Microsoft to a Linux OS is the next step in my quest to loosen techno-feudalism's grip on my life. Thought I'd start small with my ancient Netbook so as not to be without (read: screw up) my desktop for too long...

    So, after a morning down the Linux rabbit hole, I'm facing an install (correct term?) of a tiny dispo (learning new words) that'll run on my 32-bit, 1.00 GB system. I figure, if I can make that work, migrating my newer desktop system will be a cinch.

  10. In case you still haven't realized: Andrew Huberman is a fascist.

    To understand that, you first need to understand Balaji Srinivasan and his idea of "network states".

    Srinivasan is a most deranged, narcissistic, despicable scumbag fascist. Him being an ultracapitalist, he wants to create city-states where the law of existing states doesn't apply. Meaning, no taxes and no regulation. He wants to rule these cities as part of an authoritarian technocratic plutocratic class. (Plutocracy means that the rich have the power, rather than the people as in democracy.) He wants a new feudalism: If you think of the medieval age or Game of Thrones, he wants to be a lord, and regular people will have to be his serfs if they don't want to get beaten by the police which he bribes.

    Lex Fridman had Srinivasan on his podcast a while ago, where Srinivasan yapped about his fascist ideas for 8 hours straight! That narcissist sure loves the sound of his own voice. Completely insufferable.

    And Huberman commented under that episode, along the lines of, "What a great episode, so much insight! Learned so much."

    Now Huberman is a speaker at one of Srinivasan's conferences promoting these fascist ideas, among other well-known fascists/ultracapitalists.

    Huberman may have helped you reduce your alcohol intake, but he's a giant 🤬 and evidently a fascist. Only idiots continue to seek advice from such an agent of evil.

  11. #JohnSwinney #FirstMinister of #Scotland openly but ineffectually critical of #ElonMusk in #BBC Radio interview on today's #GoodMorningScotland
    Sounds like he & his #Government should come over to the #Fediverse & ditch #Xitter

  12. Some concepts that help illuminate how progressives think about the world

    #enshittification, #technofeudalism, #degrowth, #TheCommons, #UBI, #anarchism,
    #intersectionality, #CriticalRaceTheory. You can say they are #radical. Whatevs. But compared to what's animating the other side, it's really pretty tame stuff. 3m.fyi/posts/a-list-of-some-pr  #ProgressTerms

  13. Since #ElonMusk’s so-called #DOGE took over important govt #technology teams within the #GSA & what was formally known as the #USDS, around 200 technologists have either resigned or been fired, jeopardizing around a decade’s worth of work dedicated to everything from #PublicHealth to #passport applications.

    EDIT: Requires a formal definition of #theCommons re #software.

    The worst part is there are no FOSS #modems/#wifi. None. Especially not ones available in #Australia. (EDIT: Is #telecommunications part of "the commons"? Yes.)

    As the world slips into #technoFeudalism, we are simultaneously losing #communication with supporters over this.

    Things are really quite bad.

    Your post wishes for a "license to emerge", but what is wrong with the #GPLv3 license?

    "200,000k as a married working couple"?

    Did you read the #TCI letter? Median salary is stated as $300,000.

    Its not a wage, its clearly #Extortion by Google.

    We are so glad this was an #OpenLetter. We would like to see all co-conspirators earning that #payoff (read: laundered money) to be brought to court for their abuses. Including abuse suppression, censorship, treason.
