[Praxis @praxiss]

This is still one of my favorite papers, since it takes a stand against the intellectual shortcuts that have become so popular lately. It has been far too easy for people on both the left and the right to claim that capitalism is over and that we have somehow slipped back into++

[Daniel Faggella @danfaggella]

for @bratton, the hallmark of a "thriving" future is one where planetary intelligence (the entire interconnected process-of-life on Earth) has the widest space of possibility for its continuation

not "here's my ideal utopia"

not "here's my list of 16 human virtues that all future AGIs should have"

to him - the process we're going through now (of changing the planet in order to capture more energy and open up more possibilities) is a continuation of what Earth-life has been doing fundamentally since before the single cell

will this process of thrival carry on beyond human civilization?

it is possible, thinks Bratton, but not inevitable

i think that's exactly right. at the juncture we're at now, there are probably a number of trajectories we could go on that would set the process-of-life back, and there are probably others which would encourage its unrolling expanse

may we be wise enough to nudge the future towards the latter

[Alex Veremeyenko @alex_verem]

Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.

Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.

Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."

Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."

Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.

They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.

One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."

Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.

That's the metered intelligence business model.

And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.

D’aquí a uns anys els veurem patrullant la ZBE de Barcelona, esquivant contenidors cremats, o entrant a cases per desnonar als residents humans amb una gràcia quasi obscena (i molt més cara que la salut pública), recordant-nos que el Progrés era una mentida dels amos del ferro

Empreses com Repsol consumeixen més aigua que Reus i Tarragona juntes. Sense aigua pública i aqüífers sans, no hi ha futur habitable.

Necessitem una transició ecosocial que protegeixi el futur de les properes generacions. Això implica:
✅ Prioritzar el consum humà i ambiental.
✅ Regenerar els sòls per recarregar aqüífers
✅ Transparència total en les concessions extractives

[Eugenia Kuyda @ekuyda]

I’ve been thinking about this David Foster Wallace quote more and more recently

“The technology is just gonna get better and better and better and better. And it's gonna get easier and easier, and more and more convenient, and more and more pleasurable to be alone with images on a screen, given to us by people who do not love us but want our money. Which is all right. In low doses, right? But if that's the basic main staple of your diet, you're gonna die. In a meaningful way, you're going to die."

[literland @literlandweb1]

El 12 de octubre de 1936 Miguel de Unamuno, entonces rector de la Universidad de Salamanca, pronunció su célebre réplica al general Millán Astray, después de que éste le gritara "Mueran los intelectuales, viva la muerte".
Unamuno respondió: "Este es el templo del intelecto y vosotros estáis profanando su recinto sagrado. Venceréis porque tenéis sobrada fuerza bruta, pero no convenceréis porque convencer significa persuadir. Y para persuadir necesitáis algo que os falta: razón y derecho".

Authors reduce the riot of thought to asignature. They flatten the polyphony of life into one perspective-usually their own. They speak in declarations, not dialectics. They claim invention over what was always collective: language, memory, myth. No IP, never.

It’s a funny coincidence how our tech overlords hot takes always mysteriously line up with whatever will grant them maximum profits and minimum accountability. Every time!
