  Post-Keynesian economist Steve Keen shows how the #AIBubble is related to all the previous overinvestment bubbles. He’s got the models and the math to prove it, and it’s easy to follow. But most importantly, he then goes and models also the hypothetical post-AGI market with huge job losses. Keen shows, that if the tech bros keep insisting on current #Neoliberal models without #UBI funded by a government deficit, we might end up in a Hunger Games world. https://youtube.com/watch?v=TD3FB9NkwSQ...

  Did you know? ”Privatisation” is a word invented by the German Nazi party, for their policy of selling off public assets and those seized from political enemies to new owners of proper aryan descent? 🤔 #privatisation #ontology #semiotics

  @DrALJONES@mastodon.social @Herman@mastodon.world Yes. It's the Scofield reference bible, that is published by Oxford. This reference bible is Dispensationalist, and was heavily marketed, especially in Baptist and Evangelical churches. Dispensationalism was invented by an Irishman called Scofield in the mid-1800's. This creed is still considered heresy by some denominations, because it changes the end-times prophecies in a ways that contradicts the Jewish teachings. But it benefits Zi...

  ”Peace will come to the Middle East, when all the terrorist forces disarm.” Except when they’ve done that before, Israel massacred civilians where they used to hold territory, and the USA failed to hold them accountable. Israel removed the culprits from power, but nobody got convicted, of anything. Whatever you think of Palestinian armed resistance, nobody’s going to disarm. They would be utterly stupid to do so again. #palestine #gaza #lebanon #resistance

  We are so failing the test of the Russian Kaliber cruise missile hitting Poland. There is no way this is a mistake. Kh-101 Kaliber cruise missiles use intertial guidance and camera based terrain mapping to fly their targets. This missile was programmed to hit a corn field deep in, and not kill anyone. #Poland should be calling #Article5 right now, but they are afraid Trump will say: "you're on your own". This is exactly what Vladimir Putin wants. By not responding #NATO is weake...

  #Technology has lost my interest at large. I was interested in technology, because it was helping people. But today I see most of the technologies that were promised to help people, being used to merely to make money, and to help the powerful oppress the powerless. Also good technologies that help people are banned, and bad technologies that help fascists are promoted. Undemocratically also, it seems.

  UK is close to finallsing a law that would criminalise publishing any information provided by ”state threats”. This would likely concern for example Hamas or Hezbollah, which publish civilian casualty numbers that journalists rely on, because Israel’s numbers are pure propaganda. Should this become law, a journalist could then face up to 14 years in prison for publishing it. Sounds a lot like Russia, doesn’t it? https://youtube.com/watch?v=W7AmESPJ5L0 #UK #law #journalism #softtotalitariani...

  I’ve said it before and I’ll said it again: #Iraq - Started selling oil in Euro #Libya - Was preparing a new African currency to sell oil in #Venezuela - Was selling oil in Yuan #Iran - Is selling oil in Yuan and other currencies So far all countries have been attacked and forced back to the US Dollar. Current sanctions relief package offered to Iran contains as a central cause an immediate return to the US Dollar as settlement currency for all of Iran’s #oil. #petrodollar #usa #war

  We are not Europoors. The median wealth of US citizens is 28th position. Almost all Euro countries, and all other advanced economies place above it. The median UK citizen has twice the wealth of a median US citizen. The reason is that USA today has wealth inequality on the level of absolute monarchies like Saudi-Arabia, and kleptocracies like Russia. Eurozone is doing great for regular people. USA is worse than the gilded age now. https://youtube.com/watch?v=kzFUd8uj7pA #wealth #statistic...

  You know what #China isn’t doing? It isn’t building as many data centers as possible. It has built like 400, while the US has built like 5000. I don’t think there’s a race to AGI going on. I’st terribly one-sided if it is. I think the #datacenters are for something else entirely.. 🤔

  There’s a terribly simple reason for Clacton to vote Count Binface: Tourism. If Binface wins, people will flock to visit the place to catch a glimpse of an intergalactic superhero with a bin on his head, and when they don’t they’re going to want to buy branded merchandise instead. Count Binface as MP would be an economic boom for Clacton. https://youtube.com/shorts/1c-_InJb05k #CountBinface #tourism #economy #Clacton

  The debt taken out to fund the data center boom has already been repackaged to financial SPV’s and sold to 401k retirement funds as bonds. If the power, water, and usage to these plants fails to materialise, which physics says it will, those bonds will lose value. The tech bros already outsourced their losses to US retiree’s pensions.

  ”Government #spending is unsustainable!” ”Our models show exponential increase of interest payments and government bankcruptcy in 20 years!” Yeah, but your models are wrong. They’re are taught in every economic textbook, but are still wrong. They’re taught in Econ 101, because that serves the very powerful. With these models, they can always blame the government when something goes wrong. With these models, the answer to every financial crisis is #austerity https://youtube.com/watch?v=28Gf...

  The silliest part of #RussoUkrainianWar is both Americans and Russians thinking Ukraine is some kind of proxy state of the USA. 🤭 Trump stopped all weapons shipments right away, then met Putin in Alaska to make some kind of new Molotov-Ribbentropp deal, that Putin keeps touting, and thus lost all leverage on Ukraine. Europe likewise, by holding back on supporting Ukraine with the proper weapons they needed to win quickly, lost leverage. Ukraine is sovereign, both are imperlist idiots! #nafo

  @gael@mastodon.social @vonderleyen@respublicae.eu @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu This is madness.. The US financial industry can undercut and underprice all European competitors out of business. Their financial sector would wipe the floor with ours. The only chance we have at a sovereign AI industry is one that RESPECTS copyright and privacy. The US solution wipes the floor with it and ushers in a police state with cute corporate logos and waifus on top.

  @mullvadnet@mastodon.online They will never stop either. The yearning to control ”for safety” is a built-in bug of the authoritarian mind. The other side of the desire to rule is the yearning to submit.
