A massive goliath figure in a loincloth, holding a club and sitting on a boulder; his head has been replaced with the head of Benjamin Franklin taken from a US $100 bill. He is peering down at a Synology NAS box, festooned with Enshittification poop emojis, with angry eyebrows and black grawlix bars over their mouths.

@katrinakatrinka @leemeade @pluralistic

As #pluralistic has suggested, cutting off AI as early as possible will mitigate the economic pain that its inevitable crash will entail

That can be hastened even further by stopping the source of its funding

A fast switch to solar, wind, etc starves AI of its fossil fuel investment dollars (Might also save democracy & the planet too)

Koch Network has Trump raising tariffs on Chinese solar panels by 3500%. Get into the solar panel (smuggling) biz.

A female figure in a 1960s dress and gloves, flying through the air astride a Western Electric Bell telephone handset. Her head has been replaced with the head of Karl Marx. A shower of US hundred dollar bills flows out of the receiver's earpiece and mic. In the background is a telephone pole with many wires attached to it, slicing chords through the blue sky.

Pluralistic: Rage Against the (Algorithmic Management) Machine (25 Sep 2025)

A club weilding giant in a loincloth whose head has been replaced with the glaring red eye of HAL 9000 from Stanley Kubrick's '2001: A Space Odyssey.' He is glowering at a defiant worker in overalls and a printer's folded hat, who wears a food delivery bicyclist's square, day-glo orange backpack, and stands next to a pennyfarthing. The sky behind the scene is faded away, revealing a 'code waterfall,' as seen in the credit sequences of the Wachowskis' 'Matrix' movies.
