  6. "We don't want Brussels to write our laws we want OpenAI to do it. Let Sam Altman do it, he seems normal." The UK Government’s AI Obsession is a Big Risk #TechWontSaveUs #AI #Brexit #UK

  11. "... you certainly have still, a lot of tech billionaires still giving money to the Democrats ..."

    #ParisMarx, 2024

    Of course, this is what billionaires do. They give millions to both campaigns, so whoever wins, they get stuff they want.

    "Elon Musk has given $574,500 to Republicans and $542,000 to the Democrats, per OpenSecrets."

  12. Elon Musk’s DOGE is gutting the US Digital Service and its citizen-focused approach to tech development is going with it.

    On #TechWontSaveUs, I was honored to speak with Kate Green and Milo from We The Builders to discuss understand how government can build technology differently and what’s wrong with how DOGE thinks of efficiency.

  13. "Corporations don't produce money. They produce things, and it's ridiculous for us to say that we need to grow production ... of cruise ships, and 'AI', and private jets ... to increase production of public transit and building insulation, or, public health care ...

    You don't need to increase production of bad things to increase production of good things."

  14. Listening to the first episode of a Tech Won't Save Us podcast subseries, called Data Vampires;

    techwontsave.us/episode/241_da

    Once again it occurs to me that hyperscaling of datacentres is exactly the wrong approach to hosting online services. Not just from an economic justice and environmental POV, but even from a business POV.

  15. NERDS!
    Can I use laminating film in a thermal printer to laminate thermal paper?

    I don’t have either yet, but I bought a got thermal printer for printing my course forms without further HP-inflicted mental rate abscesses.
    I was looking at paper so I’d be ready to print my coursework for next class and the ebay ads confused me for a second.

    … also I want to print stickers. For morale!

  16. "Big names in #BigTech are in for a second #Trump presidency, from Donald Trump’s vice presidential pick, #JDVance, to millions of dollars in monthly campaign donations. What’s behind some #TechBillionaires’ embrace of the right, and how does their vision align with Trump's vision for America?"
