Liberals in the German government: We're broke, we have to cut funding for anti #hatespeech #NGOs, sorry.

Also #liberals in the German government: We'll spend 1.6 billion € of yours on #AI with unknown benefits. Yay.

Before we set our hopes on a technological breakthrough, we should keep in mind that, so far, we have seen many amazing things, but somehow they always stay a little short of our hopes, needs and expectations.

President Joe once had a dream.

Thanks @parismarx and Antony Loewenstein for shedding the light on how #tech for oppression is developed, how occupation is central to this advancement and how friends and allies benefit from it!

I recently listened to @parismarx #TechWontSaveUs episode "What Drives Architects to Design Saudi Megaprojects?".

I found the discussion interesting, shedding the light on the prevalent "solutionism" in architecture, drawing parallels from the tech industry!

It also validated my impressions about the design houses and the repulsion I feel towards such projects!

Sellers can't easily use Amazon as one distribution conduit among many. This week on #TechWontSaveUs, #MoiraWeigel discusses her research on the way that firms have to retool to optimize for Amazon, in an episode aptly entitled "How Amazon Reshapes Small Business to Serve Itself":

The #EnergyTransition is HERE & Canada's just invested $20 billion in a #BatteryGigafactory which is promised to be worth $200 billion to our economy over the coming decades. We're excited to ask Canadian tech writer @ParisMarx of #TechWontSaveUs what he thinks of the deal.

Wednesday night LIVE on A Climate Of Change!

What should Albertans make of a provincial #ClimatePlan that makes 2050 #NetZero promises but lacks targets and seeks to grow fossil fuel exports AND somehow reduce emissions? We'll ask @parismarx of #TechWontSaveUs on our next ACOC! Wednesday April 26th at 7pm!

#ArtificalIntelligence is set to impact just about every thing you can imagine in ways we can only begin to guess at. How will it impact humankind's collective #ClimateAction efforts & the global #RaceToNetZero? What do we need to be especially vigilant of?

Join us for our next show with Canadian #tech writer #ParisMarx of #TechWontSaveUs & author of "#RoadToNowhere: What #SiliconValley Gets Wrong about the Future of #Transportation."

“I’m not going to waste my time reading synthetic text.” My thoughts exactly! Very good interview with Emily M. Bender at the Tech Won’t Save Us #podcast #aihype #TechWontSaveUs https://plinkhq.com/i/1507621076/e/1000608745281 @parismarx

It's fair to say climate folk are somewhat divided on the role #ElectricVehicles will play in humankind's transition to a #ZeroEmission #ClimateSmart world. ACOC host Bentley is going to dig into it with Canadians tech writer and '#TechWontSaveUs' podcast host #ParisMarx on the next show!

what a brilliant conversation between @emilymbender and @parismarx – cutting through so much of the hype about "AI", large language models & chatbot platforms. highly recommended.

@ScientistRebellion I would love to listen to a conversation between @parismarx and @davidho on #TechWontSaveUs

Interesting sidebar in the latest #TechWontSaveUs w/ @mcmansionhell about how Superstudio's hypothetical megastructures reappear decades later in projects like The Line, but with all the critical/satirical elements scrubbed away. Stood out to me as this also describes the history of the #metaverse. First time as farce, second time as tragically (and cynically) literalized

Quick workspace pic as I’m getting started with my next painting.

I like to put on podcasts while I’m illustrating, right now I’m listening to the latest episode of the excellent „Tech won’t save us“ podcast with @parismarx

Everyone on Fedi probably already knows this show - it has such insightful conversations, just highly recommended as a critical view on Silicon Valley.
And on a shallow note, I really appreciate the host’s Canadian accent. :)

#edtechSR #AI #OpenAI #ethics

I'm slowly catching up with older episodes of #TechWontSaveUs #podcast by @parismarx and while basically every episode deserve a share, this one on the history of computer criticism I feel is particularly relevant as it keeps resonating even louder in the aftermath of #NFTs and #ChatGPT. But Zachary's point of the 'bribe' and the 'blackmail' could be totally be applied to #ClimateChange and #Environmentalism
