Say AGI isn’t hype to dazzle customers and bamboozle regulators, but something the AI bros believe in and are working towards. They are spending hundreds of billions of dollars to create the enslaved digital entities they plan rent out to do the world’s bullshit jobs. They could invest the money in real jobs to tackle the climate crisis. The problem here is that real workers expect to get paid.
Interesting Owen Jones piece in the Guardian today. Worth a look.
The line-up of British politics right now is right-nationalist/cod-right-nationalist/right-libertarian (Reform/Conservative Party), and conservative/centre-right (Labour).
The Tories’ chance of winning is infinitesimally small. What matters now is whether anyone who wants to redistribute wealth and power is denied a voice in Starmer’s administration […] When inevitable disillusionment with a government rooted in deceit and lacking any solutions to Britain’s woes seeps in, it will be the radical right that stands to benefit.
