Sobering essay review by @lalehkhalili.bsky.social of two books about #SilconValley and #DefenceTechnology. "The United States was born in war and has waged a war of some sort in every year of its existence. Silicon Valley knows that war is good for business." www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

Texas minister to deliver AI-generated sermon | Boing Boing

Media reports that Texas Methodist minister Jay Cooper of Violet Crown City Church will deliver an AI-written sermon this weekend. Though surely far from the first, the story is a sign of the times…

Boing Boing

"Men release powerful changes into the world with cavalier disregard for consequences … they begin to “use” apparatus, technique, and organization with no attention to the ways in which these “tools” unexpectedly rearrange their lives … they willingly submit the governance of their affairs to the expertise of others … they begin to participate without second thought in megatechnical systems far beyond their comprehension or control … they endlessly proliferate technological forms of life that isolate people from each other and cripple rather than enrich the human potential … they stand idly by while vast technical systems reverse the reasonable relationship between means and ends."—Langdon Winner, Autonomous Technology (1977)

Relevant then, even more relevant and prescient now.
