so funny he went on cum town

the discourse around ai and the left has been weird and confusing so i was on @culturejourno to talk about it i think there are three questions to ask yourself to know where you might stand in the landscape - is ai dangerous - is ai "magical"? - is ai in a financial bubble?

@goodreads can you please stop rejecting my author profile request? I'm using the same email address!

no country for tech bros @the_point_mag

I'm excited to finally announce All Models Are Wrong (on @Substack)! The thesis of the show is that the continued development and introduction of “frontier technologies” will (as it has already) bisect traditional political camps in ways that will surprise us. The models that we’ve grown up with to make sense of the world have increasingly failed us and do not reflect our current reality. Technology is never just technology. All Models Are Wrong examines who controls and benefits from these systems and how they might be organized differently. More details to come soon and subscribe below🔖

🚨Yanis Varoufakis on blockchain, the digital euro and being a class traitor I spoke to @yanisvaroufakis, economist and former Greek finance minister, at @Web3summit in Berlin on June 18th, about why he thinks blockchain is one of the few tools that can pull power away from Big Tech and the banks. Truly a privilege that I had the chance to speak with him on such a stage. Full Episode ⬇️

The US government is directly threatening to debank leftists. I have a book for you if you're worried about it.

wait why is there an issue? i thought he bought the island???

@anwaribrahim you and the Malaysian people have no reason to trust someone who refers to his own movement as "tech zionism" and we know for a fact that people attending have created their own cryptocurrencies which is against Malaysian law Malaysia already kicked out the colonizers, don't invite them back in

🚨AI, Empire, and the Left's Missing Voice w/ Nick Srnicek I spoke to @nsrnicek, author of Silicon Empires, about how AI is consolidating Big Tech's power. We also discuss: - how the left should be involved in AI development - why the gap between open and closed models may widen as frontier training costs spiral upward - the real biosecurity risks buried under Silicon Valley's safety discourse. - AI sovereignty for Europe - preventing a permanent underclass from forming at all FULL EPISODE ⬇️ piped.video/SM82s53cl30

gig work with a gen z gooner veneer I warned about this in my 2022 piece on @FWBtweets. It's the inevitable outcome of ‘x-to-earn’ and it makes sense that it feels more plausible to be bigger because it is led by a memecoin launch pad. The obvious truth is that it's an intensification of gig work with a gen z gooner veneer and there's very little positive that will come out of it I suspect. It's just incredible how often we keep making the exact things that sci-fi writers warn against. "...these bounty hunters are not that different from modern-day gig workers, waiting for an app to summon them to their next ride or delivery. There is a lot of boredom and lounging around the ship until the next bounty is found, and an ongoing fight with hunger when there are no bounties available. Sadly, this is also the vision of the future of work being projected by many of the architects of Web3." read my piece here: fwb.help/editorial/cowboy-be…

🚨The Intelligence Curse w/ Evan Miyazono I spoke to @emiyazono, founder of @SafeWithAtlas, about the neglected risks of advanced AI and what it would actually take to govern it. We dig into the threats he thinks aren't getting enough attention, from asymmetrically offensive cyber capabilities and economic disruption to what he calls the "intelligence curse," a dynamic where governments lose any incentive to invest in their populations once labor becomes synthetic. We also get into formal verification as a framework for AI governance, why consensus and agreement become scarcer as intelligence gets cheaper, and where blockchains might actually fit into that picture in ways that have nothing to do with libertarian fantasy. piped.video/Tv6tDogrN4w

🚨Self-Repaying Loans and the Fight for Crypto’s Soul w/ Scoopy Trooples I spoke to @scupytrooples, the pseudonymous co-founder of @AlchemixFi, about self-repaying loans, the wreckage of DeFi scams, and what ethical crypto finance could actually look like. We dig into how Alchemix works, allowing your debt pays itself off over time and what’s new in V3. We also get into the broader rot in the space: meme coin pump-and-dumps, celebrity rug pulls, prediction market gambling, and how DeFi summer’s promise curdled into financial nihilism. Scoopy is one of the rare crypto founders willing to say the quiet part loud, that most of what gets built in this space is zero-sum at best and predatory at worst, and has been trying to build something different since day one.

One of the funnier parts of this story I think is that Erik Voorhees, big time crypto libertarian and anti-communist, is also a big fan of Thorchain and I assume of their work with helping fund the DPRK Thank you comrade 🫡
