I can't remember a tech campaign this relentless.
I used to be a tech enthusiast. I am becoming a tech dethusiast. I don’t want any more tech to buy. I don’t want smart appliances. I don’t want smart pants. I don’t want smart dumbbells.
I just want things that I can buy and that work for 20 years.

One of the things I still don’t understand is how these tech bros can be pro-technology and anti science.

Tech guys six months ago: haha yes we’re cutting all this WASTEFUL spending by eliminating medical research and USAID
Tech guys now: yes I think taxpayers will be excited to bailout my non consensual pornography machine

I heard this is a good place to talk about taxing the rich, breaking up big tech, and ending Washington corruption.

“is my calculator horny?“ our tech columnist asks. “i entered 5318008 into it and turned it upside down. what i saw surprised me”
“Can ChatGPT experience joy or suffering? Does Gemini deserve human rights?” our tech columnist asks. “Many A.I. experts I know would say no, not yet, not even close. But I was intrigued.”
Should We Start Taking the Welfare of A.I. Seriously?
As artificial intelligence systems become smarter, one A.I. company is trying to figure out what to do if they become conscious.

I cannot tell you how many tech journalists at prominent media organizations do not understand this
Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies.
For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!

Getting off US tech: a guide
I’m in the process of dropping US tech services. Here’s how I did it, and options you should consider.

Note to the media: Those of us who have problems w Flock cameras are not "anti-tech". I use tech every day. It's a tool. What I resent is a police state using tech to spy on citizens with a presumption of guilt. I'm not anti-tech, I'm anti-authoritarianism. It's why we have a Constitution FFS.

OK, so naked running.
Apparently this means running without GPS, music and any other tech.
I wish I knew this an hour ago.

Getting a mammogram to check on some little calcifications (common after cancer treatment, just gotta keep an eye on them) and of course I begin interrogating the tech.
ME: So what’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever seen?
TECH: Weird…?
ME: I’m a horror author.
TECH: OH MY GOD WHEN I WAS IN X-RAY

I wrote about why I quit my job, and how weird and tiring tech feels these days.
Do I belong in tech anymore?
On quitting, the spread of AI, and the loss of an ideal.

Every "tech" guy is just a VC guy in a subculture that gets called "tech" for no particular reason. Most real "tech" - like, i dunno, cutting edge materials research - doesn't get called that while "a new pizza delivery app" does
I am going to be so fascinated to read the post-mortem about how a revolt lead by tech billionaires lead to a gutting of both scientific research, university education and immigrant labor, all key prerequisites to the very existence of their industries.
I can't stress enough how close U.S. science is to the cliff.
