quite literally everything i hear about the economics of this feels insane, especially given the big issue of the tools not doing what boosters say they will do. so many details make me feel very not good!

so @matteowong.bsky.social & I wrote on data centers: arguably the most important buildings in the world & are, in a way, holding the economy hostage. Byzantine financial instruments, private equity, depreciating tech, hype, $trillion valuations. it’s all there. an ai crash prob starts here.

I mostly avoid The Atlantic's stories but there are three writers there that I always trust & read, and Charlie Warzel is one of them. This is a great piece.

remember that woman who reposted the video of a journalist being arrested by ICE? when someone showed her it was AI, she said she didn’t care because it was what was happening! we called her out and she didn’t budge. it’s a perfect example of how this shit reaffirms what people *want* to be true.

rom comrade @savasavasava.myatproto.social · 7h

that’s the thing: there *is* demand. people want to see their racist beliefs be true so that they can continue to be racist. and it doesn’t matter that they are fake or if people know it is AI. the imagery supports and feeds their racism, and that’s all that needs to happen.

I strongly recommend everyone do research sometimes 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘧𝘶𝘯.

Look something up on Wikipedia. Go to the little citation. Follow it. Read the article it's referencing. Follow links to the original interview. Read the paper written by the interviewee

It genuinely makes you appreciate journalism
