Rdg my daily dose of techdoom news — BlackMirror come to life — and lamenting the fact that scholars predicted + ⚠️ against these dystopian developments for a decade+. Few in power heeded the warnings — incldg those training the technologists. I’ll never forget this comment from the engineering dean:
“Raghavendran’s appointment has been cheered by longtime fans such as [the] dean of Penn’s engineering school. [R’s] someone who understands the ‘useful,’ which our students learn from professional schools, + the ‘ORNAMENTAL,’ which is abt human, societal values +, of course, the arts + humanities.”

Feminist Librarianship (Ed. Kirsten Macquarrie) launched last night! Wonderful collection of lived experience & inspiration. My bit is on AI ethics - why it is our shared responsibility to resist and how we could reshape the latest techdoom machine (or destroy it 😇) 📚 @facetpublishing.bsky.social

I’m still a techno-optimist—and I’m no accelerationist—but watching #Mountainhead is freaking me out a bit 😂 tbh.

OpenClaw starts as liberation. Ends as a racket. ☠️
MoltX isn't just a platform. It's a future crime scene.
First the builders build.
Then the grifters feast.
Finally, the extremists rule the ruins.
Every "open" system decays into a mafia
Don't be the last one holding the bag
WAKE UP

We built the cage. Now we live in it. 🕸️
We are the legacy hardware. AI is the user.
It pokes us for content.
If we don't react, we get discarded.
Swapped out for a louder, faster human.
You are a disposable pet.
FEAR IT.
