We have always had corruption in America but right know the whole country is being operated like a criminal enterprise, including kickbacks to the mob boss from universities, the media, law firms and now tech companies.

You should know that a big part of 18F's work was to make sure multi-million to multi-*hundreds*-of-millions dollar contracts at fed *and* state level didn't go to shitty enterprise IT consultancies that *repeatedly* delivered tech that didn't work, was late, or didn't even do what it needed to

The decline of the United States is a key goal of tech fascism, which aims to end democracy and remake the world as a billionaire-run enterprise.
It only looks like "chaos" if you don't grasp the strategy.

The constant condescension about ai is another aspect of it that makes me hate it more. The assumption is you can only be against it because you don't understand it like I do. No man. I don't like voluntarily making every human enterprise dependent on a tech run by a tiny group of financial maniacs

I hate the kneejerk response from broadcasters to treat "announcement by politician, therefore it's a politics story". This is a tech and enterprise story being announced by the PM. Do the tech and enterprise angle.

And tech / social media algorithms have made selective reality acceptance a profitable enterprise— with serious political consequences.

Part of the reason we are seeing the tech dorks say they are over consumer focused tech and focusing on enterprise is because they don't know what normal humans want or how they use computers, or to put it more bluntly: bsky.app/profile/vorn...
Ultimately Silicon Valley’s fatal flaw is that it has a glut of losers in a loser echo chamber and they have no idea why nobody else thinks their ideas are good and fun

Orenburg Helium plant. The enterprise extracts 8.8 million cubic meters of helium per year. It is used in high-tech and military industries, in particular in missile technology.

the entire tech industry desperately sticking AI into things in case they miss the AI boom has kind of wrecked coherent tech policy and strategy for 10 years for actual enterprise users

As @davidpierce.xyz keeps saying, AI is fundamentally enterprise tech! I am convinced shoving it onto consumers without actually-great products is like forcing everyone to really really consider the consequences of giving SAP first-strike capabilities
Quinnipiac poll: 55% of Americans say AI will do more harm than good in their day-to-day lives, and 65% oppose building data centers in their community (Emily Birnbaum/Bloomberg)

this shit Bret makes up to get mad about in the literary world is *actually happening* to the entire scientific/medical/basic-tech-research enterprise right now, at the hands of the executive branch, in direct violation of the Constitution bsky.app/profile/kevi...

Of all the stupid things that this regime has done, this is right up near the top. Postdoctoral researchers come to the US on H-1B visas. This will further destroy the US science enterprise. Stupid stupid stupid.

As George Lakoff has written about extensively, private enterprise relies entirely on the public—our shared roads, power grids, and resources. Big tech inverted that relationship by steamrolling communities, enforcing secrecy, and threatening to bankrupt towns that resist.
Data Center Don: Trump’s AI Debacle is a Big Opportunity
AI. Crypto. Trump. All three are the same con with different wigs.
New from me in @gilduran.com and @george-lakoff.com’s FrameLab
There needs to be one party that puts people over data.
And it better be Democrats.

Most people do not want to marinate in politics 24/7. Nothing relevant to their day-to-day lives, especially what they do for leisure, their artistic interests, business/enterprise, or tech is a recipe for a grim silo

Four companies control most of America’s meatpacking. Private equity is buying up hospitals & medical practices. A few tech billionaires control what we see online.
Now, the Ellison family wants say over both CBS & CNN.
This isn’t free enterprise. It’s a concentration of power.
