Billionaires would rather do this than pay taxes.
I had such a blast listening to #JonRonson 's #TheCastle that I wrote about it. I even got a Monty Python reference in. The Castle is not about glamorizing men behaving like misogynistic monsters but rather about deindustrialization, inequality, and unregulated social media/AI chatbots. #BookSky

For those just discovering Effective Altruism (EA), know that when journalists, etc. talk about EA in the context of Silicon Valley, they're talking about *longtermism*. And as I argued back in 2021, longtermism is a profoundly dangerous ideology: aeon.co/essays/why-l...

Modern life is full of hyperobjects, seemingly unsolvable problems. The problems we face are so absurd and all-encompassing that they demand we ask: How intelligent are we if we innovate ourselves into extinction? #AI #SiliconValley #Tech #Inequality

While we’re distracted by the common refrains, “they’re building a digital God” and “humanity’s future is in the stars,” remember that, to the tech bros, the real gods are always money and power. #AI #Substack #SiliconValley #Tech vibespocalypse.substack.com/p/how-to-sta...
Yay! Super happy for the #WidowsBay team and the fandom. Hopefully, this means we’ll get many more seasons on Katie Dippold’s infamous island. If you want to revisit some of the best moments of S1, I wrote about the show in July. The title says it all.
It feels like we're all living on Widow's Bay, cursed and undeniably fucked.
Give them all Emmys already. Also, fuck Martha’s Vineyard! Warning, there are spoilers ahead, but you’re probably not looking up Widow’s Bay blogs because you’ve never watched the show, so onward!

The most insidious idea is that #Tech will save us all. In #SiliconValley, there’s a false equivalency that tech equals progress. It fuels the self-driving cars clogging our streets and the loneliness creeping into our souls. It supercharges our El Niños and keeps the shareholders very fucking rich.

Whether or not #AI is going to kill 10%, 25%, or all of us, why the fuck would we want to court that kind of risk? To explore that and more, I've started a little series on AI and human worth on my #Substack. Like that hasn't been done before. 😉✍️🤖 vibespocalypse.substack.com/p/how-to-sta...

“...we estimate that some 9,000 deaths each year in the country are impacted by heat — a factor of five higher than the official average over that same period. Some years, heat-related deaths can top 10,000.” The status quo is killing us all. The status quo = omnicide. #ClimateChange
NPR spent 2 years tracking deaths from heat. We found a staggering hidden toll
An NPR investigation found that people in the U.S. are dying from heat much more often than official counts show. We explore the reasons why — and how lives can be saved.

"It will not change the basic fact that we either have decision-making power over our own bodies — women and men — or there is no democracy." - #GloriaSteinem
Gloria Steinem, trailblazing journalist and activist, dies at 92
At a time when women were largely limited to domestic roles, Steinem challenged gender stereotypes and championed feminist ideals like equality, sisterhood and reproductive freedom.
