Capitalism is a trap - and you can't get out | Clara Mattei interview

Apropos of which, if we consider the non-exclusive #IP rights we all have to the information we collectively have created globally, its abuse by the big #AI players using our data to train its AI models, for their exclusive profit, is reminiscent of that historical crime when powerful individuals enclosed large tracts of common land, converting common grazing rights into private property rights.

AI data centers need to cover their own infrastructure costs, and pay for power at a higher rate, f--- them if they think they can do entry level jobs (they can't, people would get fired for the mistakes) and then increase my power bill, no way.

Ist Kollektiveigentum zum Scheitern verurteilt? - Stimmt es, dass ...? - Die ganze Doku | ARTE

Der verbreitete Gedanke, dass Kollektiveigentum zum Scheitern verurteilt ist, hat sich fest in den Köpfen der Menschen verankert. Aber stimmt das überhaupt? Wir begeben uns auf die Spuren der Gemeingüter: vom europäischen Mittelalter bis heute, zu den Maya in Mittelamerika und hinein in eine hochpolitische akademische Debatte.

@AAKL @TheSeattleTimes they need a taxation reset that should have gone hand in hand with their offshoring.

AI profits -- if there really were any-- need to shore up health insurance costs at a higher rate than real employees. #HealthCareCosts

Data Center power needs also have no business cranking up my power bill. #TragedyOfTheCommons

That haunting moment when you discover a cartoon was drawn by AI… and not a mustachioed illustrator named Greg using a Wacom tablet in a cabin in Vermont. Someday we’ll heal. 😔 #AIart #TragedyOfTheCommons

Morning, all,

#CERN and Tim Berners-Lee gave the #WWW to the world for free, to encourage and enable co-operation.

And yet private capital has, to a large extent, hijacked it. It's the #TragedyOfTheCommons all over again...

Worse still, an evil mastermind, Al GorIthms, is using it to addict and enslave this and future generations.

Instead of bombing boats in the Caribbean that may (or may not) be carrying drugs, shouldn't we be arresting the corporate Tech Bros?

Why I gave the world wide web away for free

My vision was based on sharing, not exploitation – and here’s why it’s still worth fighting for

@markmetz entry level workers need entry level jobs, revenue for bullshit as a service has to have health insurance cost burdens that employers and entry level workers are having to bear instead. Half these data centers are probably crypto farms anyhow, that gambling revenue needs to face the burden as well as pay it's inflated chunk of it's insane energy demands. #HealthInsuranceCosts #UnemploymentUnderReportingUSA

"There are video tutorials available online on how to break into Lime e-bikes. When someone manages to bypass their lock and ride around for free, it emits a continuous beep, beep, beep sound"

Hackney birdsong? Stolen Lime bikes the new sound of summer in the city

Some in an east London park say they like the incessant beeping, but others that it’s an indication of low-level crime
