AI Job Apocalypse. Postponed until further notice...

"Truth decay" became a national security concern 8 years ago. Here's a report from the RAND Co. www.rand.org/pubs/researc...

"According to Meta’s own data, only 7% of time spent on Instagram and 17% of time spent on Facebook involves “socializing” with friends and family. The overwhelming majority of activity is something else entirely"

Democratisch grip krijgen op onze AI-toekomst zou een politieke topprioriteit moeten zijn. Want: wie ongelijkheid wil terugdringen, de #NationaleVeiligheid wil beschermen, #polarisatie en #extremisme wil terugdringen zou het over AI moeten hebben. En nog vele onderwerpen. www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2025/...

Italy was on strike in solidarity with Palestinians last Monday. Hundreds of thousands demonstrated blocking roads, ports & railway stations. In Rome, many drivers found themselves stuck in traffic — & were happy about it, saluting demonstrators & condemning Israel’s genocide against Palestinians.

The global consequences of the pending burst of the AI bubble

High security risk. Palantir is not that advanced and mostly a Frankenstein monster of open source platforms hacked together by overly productive, but seldom effective, script kiddies

SLAPPs are a particular form of harassment used primarily against journalists and human rights defenders to prevent or penalise speaking up on issues of public interest. The Directive on SLAPP has entered into force in May 2024 providing courts and targets of SLAPPs with the tools to fight back.

"Inside the dark world of Elon Musk's empire" with the writer of "The Tesla Files"... who gives a fair report, although still befouled with all sorts of personal branding concerning Musk (e.g. he never slept on a couch in the factory)

How to understand Techfeudalism. "Crack-up capitalism" - Quinn Slobodian

The change of tone near the end of the conversation is odd. Would Peter Thiel be even too crazy for Jordan Peterson. The talk ends like a therapy session, urging to keep the conversational going...

Synchronicity... on Dutch television, Cory Doctorow explaining "enshittification" and how Big Tech has caught itself up in being valued as a growth stock (at minimal 20 x P/E) instead of a mature stock (at about 4 x P/E). Wasn't there a hitsingle back in the 80's, Alphaville "Forever Young"?

Dit gaat in tegen het ideaal dat beleid het algemeen belang moet dienen, en niet dat van een rijke elite die lobbyisten kan inhuren."
