From @pluralistic : United States #BigTech now poses the same risk to the world

"that China hawks warned of when it looked like Huawei would provide all of the world’s 5G infrastructure: allow companies that are absolutely beholden to an autocrat who is not restrained by the rule of law to permeate your society, and your society becomes a prisoner to the autocrat’s whims and goodwill.”

This should destroy the US as a global tech power.

I think #tech is going to kill us all eventually. AI data centers will push climate chaos over the edge, the #Palintir surveillance state will imprison us all. The future is very dark if we don't do something about this issue.
