The "free" in market does not mean "free from regulation." It means "able to operate with free information and without market manipulation" and we've now proven, for the second time in US history, that you cannot have a free market WITHOUT reining in corporations.

I'm just so fucking tired of people being like "no, the free market is working!" and then ignoring all the ways that we don't actually have a free market and our markets are owned by like, twenty men in trench coats.

So apparently that HWA pro-AI newsletter also uses Indigenous water rights issues as a prop, trivializing the activism by Indigenous peoples to protect our water including specific anti-data centre actions. I guess they figured why not alienate Indigenous horror writers while they’re at it?

“Sure. Sure.

Yes, we know AI is using up resources. So does driving a car or a planes so does building a new home. So do a lot of things. Humans have always used up Earth’s resources and usually not nicely. There are reservations and other Indigenous communities in Canada that have never had clean water and have been ravaged by pipeline construction. But somehow that’s been okay for the past fifty or a hundred years, and very few people scream about that. But suddenly, AI is the enemy, not everything else we’ve been doing all along. Suddenly YOUR water might not be clean, so it’s a Big Deal”.

I’ll be here until the end of time, if that’s what it takes. I can’t solve apathy or make anyone care, but I will remind you that pocket change from hundreds of people is helping 21 families survive genocide. Click "weekly/monthly" on JUST a 5. That’s it. chuffed.org/project/hope...
