AI isn't "the most transformative technology of our times". There is a lot of structural transformation going on, and there are lots of claims about specific computational technologies. Conflating these facts obscures the true technopolitics of the interregnum.

@danmcquillan It's not even the most transformative technology of our lifetimes. I was there when internet became a thing, and when sass became a thing, and when enshitification became a thing.

@danmcquillan even leftist spaces are buying into that absurdity. I just literally heard that today on Novara Media live. It’s disheartening to say the least

@alx Yes, very disheartening. Although I think Novara went down that slippery slope a long time ago.

@danmcquillan @alx agree. They posted some shitty genAI video last year (iirc) of a 'Paris concert' where everyone was holding up a phone.
Complete nonsense. Called on it, they did nothing, didn't delete it, just silence. Useless. Didn't trust them after that.
