Bruenig’s AI enthusiasm seems like “correct” leftist doctrine based on the canonical texts and it’s interesting to me that so few on the left share his viewpoint. mattbruenig.com/2026/08/31/m...

If you work in AI and are concerned about safety you can’t *just* tweet and sign open letters, you need to use your leverage at work to change the constellation of lobbying forces. https://t.co/gF0HXLoEEs https://t.co/4GtjZZdi3i

When I first heard about people mobilizing to block an underwater data center in Eastport, it sounded like a totally fake idea to me but apparently this is a real project. https://t.co/bet009IrN9
I find it hard to get an objective view on who is right about it, but my sense is we’re likely to get an AI singularity before we find out. https://t.co/FdeNs99q06

Recent commentary
I don’t really favor AI progress so if sand gets thrown in the gears of the hyperscalers that’s fine, but in practice a lot of the activism against data centers is activism against transmission lines and that has bad implications for wind and solar projects.
If you point out on X that AI systems are broadly progressive in their worldview, rightists suddenly start talking like AI-skeptical BlueSky users.
Trump steering into AI acceleration when he was already underwater on approval was really reckless and also kind of out of character for a guy who's normally very opportunistic.
