I've been thinking about #artificialintelligence, calls for its #regulation & some previous cases of #technological determinism.
As I've said here before, perhaps the best way of thinking about all this is to return to the work of #LewisMumford who makes the distinction between Authoritarian Technics & Democratic Technics... which encourages us to focus not on the characteristic(s) of #technology, but rather the #political interests of those who deploy & promote it.

By making their #technological solution ever more efficient.... err no!
By cutting costs in their tech teams?.... wrong again
By moving to cheaper office space & re-negotiating their financing?.... nope not that either.
By upping their take on the fares charged by Uber drivers, effectively cutting their pay? yup, that's the one!
Of course, now labour markets are 'tighter' this may backfire... as drivers get other jobs!

It's these types of efforts where we need to focus basic and advanced #research, #scientific and #technological #exploration, and large-scale #commercial and #government #development.
Everything, Everywhere, All at Once is the most sound #global #philosophy and #strategy to potentially mitigate, and possibly reverse, the extreme damage we've done to our #climate and #environment.
It's what an #ecological #MoonShot means, to me.

I'm looking forward to seeing #Oppenheimer at our local full #IMAX theater.
The #technological innovations (including the first #BlackAndWhite IMAX #film) that went into making this #movie are worth paying for, for me.
The story and how it's told seem to be incredible, and I tend to avoid #biopics after learning how dishonest they can be (e.g. #TheButler).
And its 100 day #theatrical release window gives me hope for the future of #cinema.
