I saw so many great talks at BlackHat & @defcon this year - but by far the most impressive and consequential was @doctorow’s eloquent skewering of the current state of the Internet - summarised by his neologism “enshittification”. And the ways we can claw ourselves back to a new better Internet.
@singe @defcon @doctorow I defy anyone, specifically including @doctorow, to show me a substantive difference between this neologism and rents per Adam Smith. This shit ain't new. It's a mechanism of misappropriation, and it's fundamental to capitalism, which @doctorow has yet to critique in any systemic way.
@davidfetter @singe @defcon Homie, if you think @doctorow hasn't critiqued capitalism, I'm not sure you've listened to much of what he has to say.
@egypt @singe @defcon @doctorow maybe I missed it. "This little detail is wrong and we should tweak it" isn't a critique of capitalism itself. It's support of it.
@singe @defcon looking forward to seeing that talk's recording ^_^
@singe @defcon @doctorow Can't wait for the video to be uploaded!
@singe @defcon @doctorow I love his posts on the topic
