สิ่งที่แย่ของอาชีพนักวิจัยคือการต้องมาขอตังค์เศรษฐีไปทำงานอ่ะค่ะ เคยช่วยทำเอกสารขอจากมูลนิธินี้แหละ แล้วมันก็คาใจมาตลอดว่าทำไมวะ ทำไมต้องมาสัญญิงสัญญาว่าสิ่งนี้จะมากอบกู้โลกทั้งที่รู้แก่ใจว่าทำไม่ได้ ยิ่งไปสะดุดกับประโยคว่า "คนบริจาคเขาก็มักจะบริจาคให้สิ่งที่ตนคุ้นเคย ฉะนั้นการบริจาคไม่ใช่วิธีที่มีประสิทธิภาพและเท่าเทียม" ยิ่งคิดว่าวงการวิจัยยืนบนฐานที่เหลวเป๋ว จะเอาที่ไหนมารักษา integrity
Listened to this podcast today. What an eye-opener (Should that be ear-opener?). Worth a listen/watch.
It’s time to talk about Bill Gates and Jeffrey Epstein, and how much harder questions need to be asked about his foundation. Great to get @timschwab.bsky.social’s insights!
In a couple weeks, we’ll also be talking about Epstein’s relationship with Elon Musk.
This episode is just another example (of many) why I think this is one of the best podcasts going right now and why I think @parismarx.com is a great interviewer and host. If you've not listed Tech Won't Save Us yet, this is a great episode to start with.
10/10 rating from me.
Bill Gates is facing criticism after new revelations about his relationship with pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
This week @timschwab.bsky.social joins @parismarx.com to discuss how Gates’ story has evolved over time and the consequences he should feel.

This episode of @techwontsave.us assuaged my fears of androids but the guest had bleak outlooks on care.
Robots for elder care is not it. I can take an educated guess that it wouldn't improve the social isolation epidemic that already exists among older adults.

Every month the United States provides even more reason to boycott its products and companies — the strikes on Iran being just the latest.
In light of that, it’s a great time to ditch the products and services of US tech companies. I made a comprehensive guide to help you.
Loved this episode, especially the callback to smashing those Meta Ray-Ban glasses at the Luddites Tribunal last fall! That was so much fun, and so glad I got to meet Amanda there. Can't wait for the documentary!
loved the new episode of @techwontsave.us about luddite clubs & learning that there's a documentary about them on the way! (and also to hear mention of members ditching streaming to rebuild their music libraries)
The episode of @techwontsave.us about the Luddite Club was really refreshing! Keep up the good work podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/t...
Every school should have one
fantastic conversation!
“She threw her flip phone into the Gowanus Canal, here in Brooklyn.”
I love computers / I want to join the Luddite Club :)
The Luddite Club started in a Brooklyn high school, but it’s become so much more.
This week Amanda Hanna-McLeer and Lucy Jackson join @parismarx.com to discuss ditching smartphones, getting off social media, and what it means to be a modern Luddite.

For a comprehensive breakdown of the dubious Musk mythos, I highly recommend you check out the 4-part series 'Elon Musk Unmasked' by the excellent @techwontsave.us.
(Mentioned and linked in the article, but deserves a spotlight)

OpenAI is a menace. Two recent stories make that clearer than ever.
One day you have Sam Altman denigrating humanity to defend AI. The next, WSJ reveals OpenAI could have alerted Canadian police of a potential mass shooter, but refused pressure from employees. That person went on to kill 8 people.
Started listening to this on my ride to work. @jjvincent.bsky.social said that humanoid robots are an avatar for capital, which put the push for them into perspective.
I immediately thought about how society treats cars (and I guess all property) as avatars of capital.
Videos of humanoid robots are everywhere — but are they really about to take off?
This week @jjvincent.bsky.social joins @parismarx.com to separate reality from hype and provide insight into what’s driving interest in humanoid robots.

Wait! Wait!! Wait!!!
Don't we already know how this movie play out?
Elon Musk’s Optimus robot has propelled a whole industry around humanoid robotics, but that doesn’t mean they’re going to be everywhere anytime soon. Really great to get @jjvincent.bsky.social’s insights on how the technology is evolving!
"... because they've been working all day, and they're tired, and they just want to sit at home and watch something at home. I don't think that's laziness, I think it's a form of immiseration that is hard to overcome, because it costs so much to live now." 🔥
i had so much fun chatting to @parismarx.com about the humanoid robot hype and my recent reporting. definitely go give it a listen!! bsky.app/profile/tech...

In this podcast they mention how when the US added people at the International Criminal Court to a sanctions list they lost access to basic banking which was under control of the US.
Today I read how UK is setting up banking alternatives to avoid US sanctions. www.theguardian.com/business/202...
While touted as a climate win, just replacing petrol cars with ginormous EVs in Oslo and other non-rural areas is such a sad reminder of the lack of imaginative futures.
Big thanks to @davidpierce.xyz for featuring my guide to getting off US tech (and my phone home screen!) in the latest issue of Installer. I think I’ll also be grabbing a pair of those new Sony earbuds soon 👀
Yet another very informative episode. This is, by far, my favorite podcast, and @parismarx.com is a great host and interviewer.
We need to electrify society to reduce emissions, but how we undertake that transition really matters.
This week @triofrancos.bsky.social joins @parismarx.com to discuss all the mining needed to go “green” and how that’s playing out across the world.
Full ep: techwontsave.us/episode/315_...
Such a pleasure to have @triofrancos.bsky.social back on the show! We have such a fascinating chat about the geopolitics and material effects of taking climate change seriously. Make sure to grab her new book, “Extraction”!
