Listen to @tressiemcphd.bsky.social when she writes that AI is "the backbone of a superstructure that merges regressive politics with unchecked economic power in the guise of technological innovation” - and then teach about and against the technologies with the help of the boo…
the real proof that companies use AI to break labor power, not because it can actually replace human work: OpenAI hires entire humans to prevent other humans from using AI to train the AI, and those humans can get fired for using AI to stop the other humans from using AI
Timnit Gebru argues that AI companies are stoking fears of extinction to avoid discussing actual harms, like autonomous weapons. www.wired.com/story/one-of...
"We know what to do: incubate open-access A.I. models, regulate technologies before they go rogue, hold the people who allow them to go rogue accountable if they do and protect the most vulnerable when we, the people, sometimes get it wrong." - @tressiemcphd.bsky.social
So you just learned about the AI cult, huh? Here is the longform explainer you need to make sense of the very, very strange ideas driving tech policy in 2026. Buckle up, it’s a wild ride. www.techpolicy.press/what-policym...
seriously, SpaceX showed the way and Anthropic is following it. Selective leaks of the "confidential" prospectus to gin up enthusiasm for the IPO, which is wildly illegal under the federal securities laws but no one cares about that anymore www.reuters.com/legal/transa...
With all the doom and gloom headlines about AI apocalypse, I wrote for the NYT about something hopeful: the successful and growing rebellion against Flock cameras. People do care about their privacy, it turns out. You just have to show them a viable path to reclaim it. (Gift l…
Between the FB Bond villain’s essay on the future of AI and the OpenAI piece on task crossover (linked below), it’s clear they see deprofessionalization as a good thing. Of course they do: devalue knowledge and labor, then profit. Superyachts don’t pay for themselves. about.fb…
As I was saying: www.nytimes.com/2026/05/26/o...
Columnist Stephen Rattner probably got screwed over by the headline writer, but I'm seriously floored at how poor a job these six charts do at showing that we need AI.
the final reckoning between AI hype and reality is upon us. buckle up.
“‘Certain companies have used accessibility and disability rights as a Trojan horse for a tool that poses significant privacy and security threats,’ Center for Democracy and Technology disability lead Ariana Aboulafia told me, ‘and to be clear, the privacy concerns affect disa…
I absolutely know who needs to hear this, though I won’t name names. Progressive orgs need to stop pretending that “AGI” and “x-risk” are ideas to take seriously. No one is building a computer god that could go rogue and turn us into paper clips.
I will not link to it, but @theatlantic.com has published a transparent piece of AI cult propaganda, authored by a self-described “AI safety and policy” researcher who is funded by Coefficient Giving. Shameful.
The louder we get about resisting the AI industry's mass immiseration project, the more industry mouthpieces like the Chamber of "Progress" will try to convince the Democratic party to avoid aligning itself with voter sentiment. Case in point: this drivel from the "Blue Horizon Project"
Before I quit my last job, I told a colleague that I hated AI (really, the AI industry and its vile political project) more and more with each passing day. This is still the case.
Great discussions at this conference on “Impacts of AI on multilingual and multiracial democracy.” But I am disappointed - though not surprised - that the AI industry’s role in dismantling US democracy by rolling back decades of work to make it truly multilingual and multiracial - wasn’t mentioned.
