Billionaires are claiming space while the planet burns. This isn’t progress , it’s empire in orbit. My piece in The Tyee pulls the curtain back.
Because who controls space controls the future

Today, headlines are dominated by billionaire-led ventures like Blue Origin, SpaceX and Virgin Galactic.
They are rebranding space — not as a domain of public possibility, but as a playground of private power and profit.

Billionaires Want to Own Space. And Everything Else | The Tyee
Ditch your astronaut dream. Public space exploration is being replaced by the astronomically rich and their pals.

Who really needs self-driving cars?! Is there an actual demand, or is it just a business idea cooked up by the ultra-rich, whose only motive is profit? #SelfDrivingCars #TechForWhom #ProfitDriven #QuestioningProgress

Progress is relative. What is advancement for some may be irrelevant or inaccessible to others.

Technological progress is often more uneven than intuition suggests; e.g. WWII saw nuclear bombs and ballistic missiles and millions of horses.
I think the near-term deployment of AI will similarly be uneven; and that it'll feel weird.
