Oh for fuck’s sake, people! Capitalism is an extinction threat. Corporations are an extinction threat. Militarism and religious lunacy are existential threats. Tech in the hands of, created for the purposes of, and being employed for the benefit of these institutions is an existential threat. No, the fancy autocomplete built on stolen labour isn’t going to bring about the end of the human race. But while your attention is being misdirected there, all those other things just might. Both directly and via proxy through habitat loss. And quite possibly with the help of aforementioned fancy autocomplete. (Don’t worry, extinction is unlikely. We’re only talking about billions dead, possibly the end of civilisation, and a very different, much harder, and much less comfortable existence for almost everyone. So, yeah, not that bad, right?) https://noc.social/@GeraldKutney/117350818254836765
