🇺🇸Análisis | 'Pax Silica': cuando el imperio deja de fingir. "Estados Unidos no ejerce su dominio a través de la innovación, sino por cárteles de chips. Ha abandonado el teatro del libre mercado y gobierna a través de servidores y nubes." 🖋Evgeny Morozov. https://elsal.to/46458
I had a lot of fun taking on one of the main tech libertarian proponents of private cities in a new episode of Doha Debates. We did not exactly get along! youtu.be/RhkTk0heAPg
Will tech utopias rescue or ruin humanity?

This is a great essay that you should read after reading the things it is responding to, but it’s screaming from the top of its lungs for a proper critical theory of technology. It also helps in sketching the contours on what needs to be tackled

This is remarkably Stuart Hall-esque argumentation: "many pages of intricate design [...] with a striking silence about political strategy. How does any of this become plausible? Contestable? Lovable? Winnable? [...] It cedes the terrain of technological imagination to the Thiels and the Musks"

Er is een nieuw type techbaas, schrijft @evgenymorozov.bsky.social. De oligarch-intellectueel. Absurd rijk, filosofisch geschoold én in het bezit van een toegangspasje voor het Witte Huis. Iemand die bovendien niet te beroerd is om vrijuit te orakelen over oorlog, vrede en de toekomst der mensheid.

Sfornano idee con l’efficienza di una catena di montaggio e la discrezione di un treno merci. E le loro “opinioni controverse” sono fondate su precise tradizioni filosofiche. L'articolo di Evgeny Morozov: intern.az/1MKG

Primeiro, os oligarcas tecnológicos profetizaram o futuro e nos venderam uma visão de mundo. Para eles, foi pouco. Agora, exigem que nos adaptemos aos seus sonhos. @evgenymorozov.bsky.social hoje em @elpais.com
