If you really want to keep up on what #Google is doing and whether it's good, bad, ugly, or all of the above, they're good people to consult.

#Technologists say the arrival of advanced #generative AI signals an inflection point: a chance for new players rise to the top, or for the established victors to extend their lead.

*Internet Con* is a "#BigTech disassembly manual." It explains how Big Tech got so big (lax anti-#monopoly enforcement, which led to #RegulatoryCapture, which let Big Tech abuse our privacy, #labor rights, and #consumer rights), and how we can use #interoperability so it's no longer #TooBigToFail, nor #TooBigToJail:

The #Monopoly experiment on #inequality was conducted in 2006, 10 years before the archetype of entitled cheating power-grabber #Trump got elected. The experiment shows how winners of a rigged game lose empathy & start believing in their own merit. The media extensively covered this experiment at the time; yet the #USA still blasted through, producing more egotistic maniacs like #ElonMusk. #Psy #nudges of #community #compassion do change this dynamic: this work is URGENT🚨 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJ8Kq1wucsk&list=PLOGi5-fAu8bGgZFDYGhQ6uywa5GNeA2RT

After Blocking #LockheedMartin Acquisition over #monopoly concerns, #FTC Allows Another #Defense Firm to acquire #AerojetRocketdyne for $4.7B
#L3Harris hired a former senior #Pentagon official who managed #defensecontracts after #antitrust crusader #LinaKhan was confirmed as Federal Trade Commission chair. The FTC has repeatedly heralded the Lockheed Martin block as one of its major successes #CongressionalStaffers pointed to a revolving door between L3Harris and Pentagon

The merger-driven rise of monopoly power is not inevitable, but rather the product of policy choices in recent decades about how to regulate mergers, writes Justin Stofferahn (Commentary) https://minnesotareformer.com/2023/09/05/corporate-consolidation-is-hurting-americans-now-is-the-time-to-rein-it-in/ #monopoly #minnesota #cvs

#monopoly was always intended to represent and teach the futility of #capitalism. It still does.

In the interests of the times we rather awkwardly recommended the #ShopEthical website, we are following up with the this open letter.
Dear ShopEthical.Org.Au,
Your site gives Amazon an F-rating.
Why are you then hosting it on Amazon servers?

Like other ISO standards, officially you have to pay a rather high price to get a copy.

I made sure they were in my Contacts (which it had botched and swapped in their postal address?), and I added a filter to never send it to spam. But it's not even getting to my box. Been emailing me for 13 years to this account, but now they're deciding for me it's "unsolicited spam" and I have no way to tell them otherwise. I suppose they can only fix it by using their Gmail account, right? How convenient for Google. #Google #Gmail #Email #Confidence #Monopoly #Enshittification

Re #democracy: we don't have it. GFC: Banks print money for *themselves*. Protestors quashed in #corporateMedia.
Democracy isnt a 1-in-4 year thing. It happen everytime one spends money/energy. So when Central Bank (read: #monopoly) engages in tillony, printing money disproportionately for the benefit of #oligarchs, they kill democracy.
DogCoinPusher, mentioned above is a darling of DARPA. Forget anything sound there. Amazon/Goo/CloudGlare/MShaft = fascist moneyLosers.

There are people who understand that you need to use all the rules in #Monopoly to stop it being bad. But Benjamin Alborough explains why not being bad isn't being good. How can you improve Monopoly at #Edfringe? Let's find out in the latest #podcast from the Edinburgh Fringe.
