A good ol’ photoshopped image of the supposed group of “board of peace” but with the word “board” replaced with “bored”

There are groups of people

I'd also like to nominate "SPECS OFFENDERS". Thank you, I yield my time.

I kinda wanna do a Postcapitalist Desire reading/working group...

See that’s where you are wrong because you have to see the holistic image.

They exist, so that we can punch those people who wear them.

The answer to problems in sociotechnical systems is not always "more software", "better software" or "open source software".
A lot of the time the best solution is _less software_ and sometimes even _no software_.

How I arrived on Bluesky

My research is on working class women and AI and the ONE consistency among all of the interviews we’ve done so far is concerns about data centers and environmental impact. We do not bring it up - they do. Every single one.

this is definitely happening

Nobel-level of geopolitical strategy

Two books, Minima Moravia from Theodor Adorno and Capitalist Realism from Mark Fisher

Serendipitous findings

Why do they try to drag obsidian to the mud and massacre my boy

for some reason the left (goldman sachs) refuses to take AI seriously

I really enjoyed this! Congrats!

Sharks, severance and the internet!

Must read

This.

AI is pushed from a cyberlibertarian POV that sees the world through the lens of status quo and does not care to reimagine the world for the better.

Leftist thought is rooted in thinking of the world “as if we were already free” as Graeber would say. As something WE can change, together.

I really It's kinda weird how the "The left hates technology (because AI)" mostly come from people whose experience with tech is on the level of vibecoding and the "left" they criticize consists to a significant part of people who've been actually building and maintaining systems for decades.

They are also people who see the “left” as an abstract mass and without any class consciousness

it’s intensely weird to take a photo of me from a talk i did like 3 years ago to use it as a meme asserting basic information security measures chills activism?

it’s weird to do it in any circumstance, but to do it to aggressively misrepresent what i’m saying to posture for randos online is a lot!!

Worth checking out, thanks!

If it's any consolation, it was company money, but nevertheless, everyone hopes nothing happens to their machines atm...

A colleague had to buy RAM and paid 1500€ for 64gb????

A genuine question: what makes you stay hopeful?

Hope in Common We seem to have reached an impasse. Capitalism as we know it appears to be coming apart. But as financial institutions stagger and crumble, there is no obvious alternative. Organized resistance appear...

My kid and the boundless imagination kids have, and this article: davidgraeber.org/articles/hop...

text from a Twitter post reads "A friend left a party at 9:30 on a Saturday. Not tired. Not sick. He wanted to get back to his agents. Nobody questions it anymore. Half the room is thinking the same thing. The other half are probably checking the progress of their agents. At a party. All the parties are sober now. Young people don't drink because they're going back to work after. Not inspired by Bryan Johnson, although that's probably a factor. The buzz they want now runs on tokens per day."

obsessed with this. literally I went to a party with a bunch of freaks and losers and everyone knew me. any party so awful it inspires you to linkedInpost about AI on twitter is a party that you should never have RSVPd for. carthago delenda est

Wait, aren't all metrics imagined?

The propensity of people talking about bullshit engines to themselves believe what looks like high probability bullshit is its own special problem. Anonymous stories that fit preconceptions exactly are their own kind of optimized slop.

Our obsession with productivity is psychotic.

Because there's never enough productivity.

If you work hard, they want you to work even harder.

Making a line go up for the sake of making a line go up is just flawed.
