They're not working to bring automation to everyday life - they're working to normalize Reverse Centaurs*.

They want you to applaud exploitation & slavery; robotization is the facade they slap on it to give you plausible deniability, not least to yourself.

They are monsters & they want YOU to be a monster, too.

@thedarktangent The technofeudalists are trying to price individuals, families, SMBs, and smaller organizations out of the market, in order to force everyone permanently into renting compute time and storage from them, and to donate all our data to their slopware training in the process.

It will take an organized international campaign, comparable to the model advocated by @pluralistic at #39C3, to forcibly counteract this. Ultimately, we'll need to restore competition in our IT parts supply chains. That may require state-level investment by economic peers of the US and China, which itself may require sustained organized civic engagement.

Meanwhile, in the USA (and elsewhere, but especially there), everything that can be done to reduce demand for technofeudalist corporations' products and services, hence everything that could expedite insolvency of the #genAI sector, would help return affordability to PC parts.

Dictators need external wars to consolidate and preserve power. #putin #netanyahu #trump #venezuela

Let’s be the #unitedstates that we’re all mourning the loss of. Let’s #impeach this motherfucker and send a lesson to all usurping motherfuckers everywhere.

Down this way lie #technofeudalism and #climatechange fueled fiefdoms, policed by an #ai #surveillancestate , as the fight for #fossilfuels escalates and the world burns, so we might as well stop waiting for a savior and save ourselves.

If you found Novaramedia's conversation with @pluralistic interesting - then this is more of the ideas fleshed out.

Just finished Enshitification by @pluralistic. While I did know the system and tech is broken I did not know how much. Learned a lot of new things about US Politics and how IP rules and non-circumvention laws help to enshitify tech.

Definitely a worthwhile read. And it ends with ideas how to fix it. And we all can have agency and can help.

@Em0nM4stodon #technofeudalism is a very good book if you haven't already heard of it.

For me there is a striking resemblance between humans trying to do social manipulation and p53 protein theme.

Like carcinogenic viruses, perversion, indoctrination and other problems, people who do power abuses need to fight against safeguards

P53 is often one of the first safeguard with harmful mutation in cancers..

@matthew_d_green Have you given consideration to the framework for thinking about these kinds of problems that @VaroufakisDE writes about in his book #technofeudalism?

I feel like the problem here isn’t that people aren’t giving enough thought to what we are building, but rather that people *have* thought about it, decided that’s the future they want to build, and they’re busy consolidating its defenses while it’s still marginally vulnerable to any subversion at all.

@freakazoid I used to harbor similar dark expectations about the trajectory of capitalism until I read #TECHNOFEUDALISM by @VaroufakisDE and came face to face with a serious argument that capitalism has already been supplanted by an even more terrible system, and it’s just getting started in the consolidating phase.

Watch the video of the bigtech-Trump meeting, how Don Trump and his techbros bring success to the US and the world, creating jobs(?) and so much good. You would almost forget about the #technofeudalism regime they're putting in place.
