  1. Yanis Varoufakis in "Escaping AI slavery" discusses how big tech affects economy, democracy, technofeudalism, us developing a neuro-dependence, and other, and what we can collectively do to change the course. I highly recommend it!

    My takeaways so far, on first listen/watch.

    *We are in a critical emergency for democracy and people power.

    *We need more platforms such as Hylo, wikipedia and the fediverse.

    *We need to maintain & develop solidarity, unity.

    *Each of us needs to recognise our own value, strengths, courage and awareness.

  16. #migrants are leaving a bad situation in hope of a better one.

    As we post cat photos and talk about the ethics of #ai , there are people risking their lives to have better lives. And mostly we tell them “NO.”

    Their situations are defined by power and the cliques that sequester it. Just like the creep of #capitalism , AI, #fascism , #technofeudalism near you, now.

    It’s very likely that someone not too many generations back from you risked their life so you could live, too.

    At the moment, I really do not have the bandwidth to draft a meaningful summary of my argument, sorry about that. However, I will suggest few papers/articles/posts on the topic that cover all the points I had in mind, and many more.

    1. Evgeny Morozov's "Critique of Technofeudal Reason" is probably the most well-known and the most comprehensive critique of the entire suite of theories arguing that today's tech companies have taken us back to feudalism. It appeared in April 2022, more than two years before the June 2024 publication of Varoufakis's book. However, Varoufakis had been making arguments along those lines for quite some time, and Morozov's critique covers them.

    2. Nicholas Gane's August 2024 paper, "Capitalism is capitalism, not technofeudalism", makes several interesting points.

    3. Jinqi Yan's December 2024 paper, "Techno-Feudalism as Primitive Accumulation: A Marxist Perspective on Digital Capitalism", is worth looking at.

    4. Benjamin Selwyn's December 2025 letter to The Guardian is a summary rebuttal of Varoufakis's thesis.

    Hope these are helpful. If you feel like, we can discuss at a later date, after you have read them.

  24. @randahl I’m glad Elon exists: he’s showing the world that to make inordinate amounts of money and become one of the most powerful oligarchs in the world, you don’t need even an ounce of intelligence, you just need to be a sociopath eager to exploit even the most vulnerable.
    He also makes clear that this system is a failure if it rewards these kind of individuals, with no correction mechanism in place. He’s a techno-wanker cyber-douche POS.

  29. RE: autistics.life/@RoundSparrow/1

    We also want to go back to that glorious past.

    But not as they expect.

    We want to go back to that time when greedy merchants and technocrats were not used to judge art, literature and dramas based on their lack of taste and knowledge, and when they were used to just shut up, because teachers, bards and druids didn’t ask to hear their merchant-like and technocrat-like, irrelevant opinion on art.

    Meanwhile, corporations are watching, tracking and analyzing them so thoroughly they know where they are, where they live, if they really want, and can afford to, buy something, or if someone is pregnant or is gay even before they know it…
