Earth Overshoot Day is not something that happens to an imaginary greedy, stupid, ignorant species in a galaxy far, far away. It is happening to us, here and now and it keeps getting worse. While our political, economic, cultural, moral conventions refuse to internalize the dire implications 😬

Today is Earth Overshoot Day 🌍, a date that changes each year and which marks the point when humanity’s demand for ecological resources and services exceeds what the Earth’s ecosystems can regenerate in that year. More info👇

My op-ed in @zeit.de. Europe pushes Palantir out; Springer gives Thiel a prize. The real question is sovereignty: who controls the infrastructure our states run on, whether it stays under democratic control or falls to tech oligarchs fused with an authoritarian state. Europe must defend democracy.

Fusing science fiction and an engineering ethic of "design by constraint," Elon Musk is building an interconnected Muskverse of companies, infrastructure, and nation-states. Our essay of the week outlines this new system of "techno-Caesarism." By Paul Vacca in @illsp.bsky.social buff.ly/9umnT7I

Generative AI is reshaping how knowledge is made, found, and trusted. A new white paper written with @wikimediach.bsky.social maps how the Wikimedia movement can keep its agency. Read it here: openfuture.eu/publication/...

The paper will be presented at #Wikimania2026 on 25 July during the session "Knowledge Commons AI Consortium: developing a roadmap for collective intelligence”, featuring @alek.eurosky.social, @valdelli.bsky.social, and Dr. Shani Evestein Sigalov, followed by a discussion with the community.

Who pays for the commons? Generative AI was built on the open web, but little value has flowed back. @paul.eurosky.social’s latest at @botpopuli.bsky.social argues copyright can't fix this on its own — and makes the case for a levy on commercial AI deployment. Read it: botpopuli.net/who-pays-for...

Together with @wikimediapolicy.bsky.social and @okfn.bsky.social we aim to build a positive agenda for recognising and supporting open knowledge systems as critical infrastructure within the current digital public infrastructure, digital commons and "digital sovereignty" initiatives
